I was once told early on in my career “You’re doing a great job but we need to work on your lisp.” I don’t have a lisp and never have. It was a way to let me know being gay on air doesn’t work. Today is a big day for me and the LGBTQ+ community. I’m proud to stand with you! 🏳️🌈
The Supreme Court delivered a landmark victory for LGBTQ rights, ruling that it’s illegal to be fired for sexual orientation or gender identity.

Hi Jacob. I have a Bachelors in Science in Meteorology and a double minor in Math and Broadcasting. So, you do have a scientist. Every meteorologist at CBS has their degree in meteorology. I don’t talk just to here myself talk.

priority is keeping viewers informed and safe.
@ScottPadgettCBS
Im with you Scott but save the public service horse shit. We all know severe weather drives ratings. It is entertainment. If it were strictly informational we would have an actual scientist and not some dude who is one step away from a fantastic career in sales.

Today we lost a son, a brother, a friend, and a warrior. Have never seen a person battle like Luke Laufenberg, but he lost his fight with cancer. He was truly inspirational. The hole in our hearts will never be filled. You are my hero. RIP my sweet Luke. See you on the other side
