The 34 Sexiest People in Television News 2015
Poppy Harlow
Thankfully, everything was fine this week after a scary moment that saw CNN host Poppy Harlow faint live on-air. The anchor took to Twitter within hours of the incident to ensure her followers that she simple “passed out briefly”. Regardless, Harlow was a clear pick for our list in 2015, and the host of CNN Newsroom Weekend had an impressive year not only covering key dialogues on the Trump candidacy but also she handled herself well this summer when Cornel West stunned her with a rather jarring claim about President Barack Obama. Handling a tough situation with grace and still managing to look that good doing so? Impressive stuff, Harlow!
Rob Marciano
Handsome, handsome, handsome. Those were the three words most used to describe ABC News’ weather guy Rob Marciano around the Mediaite offices when his name was floated to make our list. Marciano, formerly of Entertainment Tonight, serves as the resident senior meteorologist for the weekend edition of Good Morning America, and this hunk can report on our cold fronts any day of the week. Not to mention the fact that this weather dude recently scored a pretty sweet photo with a certain hairy wookie. Is there heat in the forecast? Because Rob Marciano has got us sweatin’.
Rula Jebreal
Palestinian journalist Rula Jebreal may not currently be a fixture on any one particular show, but past appearances on programs like MSNBC’s The Melissa Harris-Perry Show and HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher — coupled with her beauty — makes her an easy selection to our list. Jebreal is a foreign policy analyst fluent in four languages and her notable charisma has made her a highly sought-after on-camera talent. According to her website, Jebreal was recognized by Media Watch for her coverage of the Iraq War. Jebreal is unfairly beautiful on top of all of her achievements.
Kate Bolduan
CNN anchor Kate Bolduan was a popular pick this year among the Mediaite staff. By all accounts, 2015 was a big year for the anchor, who tangled with White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest in March about the controversial prisoner swap for Bowe Bergdahl. This summer, Bolduan made headlines again when she scored an exclusive interview with the parents of is-she-isn’t-she-black? NAACP leader Rachel Dolezal (reminder: she’s not). We’re looking forward to a great year for the stunningly beautiful Bolduan in 2016.
Bret Baier
Aside from arguably being one of the best-looking male hosts on cable news, it also helps that Bret Baier anchors for the number one network on some of its biggest properties. Last month we reported on the ratings boom that Baier’s Special Report was bringing in for Fox; like many other influential personalities who had made our year-end lists, Baier also did not hesitate to corner Donald Trump on his campaign rhetoric, pressing the real estate mogul on the “humane” element of his immigrant removal plan. Baier is a Fox News staple with the serious handsome guy mystique to make our list of sexiest.
More to go! Who else made the all-important list of Sexiest in 2015?
