Sue Simmons may have signed off for good last week, but she's been haunting the WNBC/Channel 4 studios since bidding her farewells last Friday. Or maybe someone in the studio's control room has been paying homage to her. According to the Daily News, her name appeared in the opening credits of the 11 p.m. newscast last night, right in front of her replacement, Shiba Russell. To add to the pile of fail, at least one man thought Russell was Janice Huff.

Oh NBC News 4 NY. Sue Simmons retired. You shouldn't be running her name under Janice Huff. Fail.

See, everyone is lost without Simmons at the helm.
