A Bespectacled Ted Williams Vows Sobriety

A Bespectacled Ted Williams Vows Sobriety

The man with the Golden Voice, Ted Williams, got a second chance earlier this year when a video of him showcasing his radio voice went viral. At the time Williams was living on the side of a highway in Ohio, but he quickly ended up sitting on plush couches across from the likes of Matt Lauer on the Today show. Unfortunately, the change was fast and sent Williams running back to his old friends, drugs and alcohol. Dr. Phil eventually convinced him to enter rehab, but Williams quickly checked himself out. And now, he says he's started a new, sober chapter of his life. He wears glasses now, so he's definitely serious about it this time. more ›

Steven Slater Talks About That Day

Steven Slater is back in the limelight for a moment today, appearing on CBS's Early Show. The former JetBlue flight attendant went from folk hero to zero in August after making a dramatic departure from his job, and the aircraft he was on. As we all know by now, Slater told a passenger off over the intercom, deployed an emergency chute, grabbed a few Blue Moon beers, and took his leave. more ›

Adam Lambert Says He's A Performer, Not A Babysitter

Adam Lambert Says He's A Performer, Not A Babysitter

This morning on CBS's Early Show, Adam Lambert spoke out about his AMA controversy (which led to Good Morning America cancelling his appearance). To recap: Lambert simulated a blow job and made out with a male during his performance on Sunday night. The Early Show chose to blur out the controversial acts when running the AMA clip this morning — and during the talk segment, that they decided to call "Straight Talk," the openly gay singer defended his actions. more ›

Is your femoral cutaneous nerve feeling tingly? Is the side of your thigh numb? Are you wearing skinny jeans? Incase you weren't scaremongered enough by the Wall Street Journal piece, Dr. Jennifer Ashton stopped by the CBS Early Show to make "fashion victim" jokes and warn of the health concerns over skinny jeans that are too tight on the legs and groin. more ›

Clinton Tuesday Victories Added Up to Few Delegates

Clinton Tuesday Victories Added Up to Few Delegates

Hillary Clinton may have won more votes in Tuesday’s crucial primaries, but the victories barely made a dent in Barack Obama’s lead, narrowing the gap by only a few delegates. Unless scandal or some other meltdown severely damages Obama, Clinton’s chances of beating him on pledged delegates are extremely difficult. more ›

Now Clinton Hints About Obama "Dream Ticket"

Now Clinton Hints About Obama "Dream Ticket"

Fresh off her big night of wins in Ohio and Texas, Hillary Clinton spoke on CBS's Early Show and mentioned the words "dream ticket" in relation to the heated Democratic presidential race. Harry Smith told Clinton, "We talked to a lot of people in Ohio who said there really isn't that significant a difference between you two, and they'd like to see you both on the ticket." After remarking how "incredibly close" the race is, she said pairing up "may be where this is headed, but we have to decide who is on the top of the ticket, and I think that the people of Ohio very clearly said that it should be me." more ›

Gothamist Visits Fox & Friends

We recently visited Fox News Channel’s morning show Fox & Friends. Unlike most of the other morning shows it is a freewheeling kind of crazy romp that definitely has “Fox attitude”. more ›

As we were away from televisions most of Wednesday, we can’t give a blow by blow account of the storm coverage. However, we can give you a brief summary of some of the major things. more ›

Television Watching: Tardy, On Guard, and Confident

Television Watching: Tardy, On Guard, and Confident

There must be something about the morning shift at WABC. After just four days on the job as the permanent replacement for Steve Bartelstein, Ken Rosato, overslept and was late for the 5 a.m. edition of Eyewitness News. We think it is pretty safe to assume that he just overslept, since he probably hasn’t adjusted his body clock fully to the new hours, and that he wasn’t spending the night out clubbing like his predecessor. We wonder if he brought bagels to smooth things over. more ›

NYC Loves Subway Hero Wesley Autrey

NYC Loves Subway Hero Wesley Autrey

Two days after Wesley Autey jumped into subway tracks to save another straphanger from an oncoming train, everyone still wants to hear his story. With good reason: Not only is it an incredibly heroic story, Autrey's matter-of-fact explanation for his actions ("it's just being able to be here and help the next person.") and his humble demeanor:

"I don't think I did anything heroic. I just saved a life. I don't call myself a hero because the real heroes are overseas dying for you and me."
Autrey was on CBS's Early Show, which had a crazy computer re-creation of the save. And the re-creation doesn't even show how the savee, NY Film Academy freshman Cameron Hollopeter, was having a seizure at the time! more ›

The Amazing Race Invades NYC

The Amazing Race Invades NYC

If you were any where in the Garment district yesterday evening, you may have noticed a huge line of non-New Yorker types outside of the bar, Stitch. And if you are any type of Amazing Race fan, you already know those people were lined up for TARCON 9 (The Amazing Race CONvention). Sponsored by Television Without Pity, the event gives TAR fans a place to reminisce over past seasons, bet on that night's finale, drink at an open bar, and meet some of the race participants along with host, Phil Keoghan... for a small fee, of course. more ›

The Price Is Right

The Price Is Right

In this week's weather media wrap up wed like to discuss the now famous face of Dave Price. This once local weatherman, now the CBS Early Show's national weather guy, seems to be doing quite well for himself. A lot of New Yorkers are ambivalent about Dave and Gothamist understands why. Hes such a nerd and not in the hip way but in the 'a bit clueless to pop culture' way. However, there are some other things that you might not know about him that could help you understand him better AND hopefully like him. more ›

No Slaw for Stewart

No Slaw for Stewart

Martha Stewart tells Barbara Walters that she hasn't been able to chop up a cabbage after the infamous Early Show appearance after news of her little Imclone thing. During a segment where she was demonstrating how to make a salad, host Jane Clayson was trying to ask her about the scandal but Stewart wanted to "focus on my salad." Now, looking back, Stewart said to Baba Wawa during a 20/20 interview that will air tomorrow night, "To tell you the truth, I have not been able to chop a cabbage since. No more coleslaw for me..." The cabbages are thankful; cabbage farmers are not. more ›
