CNBC Makes Amends for ‘McEnroe Show’ With Hot Girl
There comes a time in every Amherst student’s life when she must put aside the feelings of hate that stir in her body for the vile weed that is Williams College and say, in the face of Williams alum Erin Burnett: this chick is hot. And also, according to those tracking the not-yet-existing rivalry between CNBC and the Fox Business Channel, CNBC’s secret weapon in the hasn’t-happened-yet brouhaha with Fox Business Channel in an alleyway that has yet to be determined. Broadcasting and Cable profiles EB today for serious and fair-weather fans alike. We’ll get right down to it:
+ She wakes up at 5 am
+ Since making her debut on Squawk during its relaunch in December 2005, the program is up 142% over first quarter 2006 in adults 25-54; Street Signs is up 57% in the demo.
+ Erin is energetic
+ Erin is solicitous
+ Erin is not fawning
+ Maria 2.0 will take over for Maria when gravity takes its toll
+ Burns was voted “Most Likely To Host a Talk Show”
+ Had (has?) a crush on Dan Rather
+ Also had a crush on CNN’s Willow Bay, who offered her a job when she was working at Goldman.
+ Lives on the Upper West Side (no specs beyond somewhere between 66th and 79th/Central Park West and Riverside but we’ve got someone working on it. Inquire within after 4).
+ Favorite books: The Historian, Mad Money: Watch TV, Get Rich
+ Likes: short walks in the park, squash (the sport), Mark Haines, first-year analysts
+ Dislikes: bear markets, natural gas traders, quants, dill
Pretty hot stuff. But, thing of it is, everything’s a matter of taste. Some of you might now be making use of the handicapped bathroom, others saying, "Erin’s well and good, but I prefer to sink my teeth into Italian." There was a theory going around these parts on Friday morning that Burns and a certain Times reporter had a wild night after co-hosting Kudlow and Company together, as they were both seen looking a little rough around the edges (compared to their usually sparkling selves) the next morning on air. We’re not saying, we’re just saying. Point is: we don’t tell anyone how to live their lives. We’re in the Burnett camp, you might not be. Some people (who are freaks) might not like a girl who rides bulls. We’ve asked this question once before, but people change, body parts sag, tides turn and sometimes, you just want some strange love. So:

put rebecca jarvis in your poll

Second that. Jarvis gets my gas running and my crude pumping.

rebecca jarvis sucks...she's kind of homely looking. I do think Margaret Brennan is cute, though, in a becky quick kind of way.
can you imagine a late night market segment with those two?
Posted by: Anonymous | June 4, 2007 02:55 PM
The one thing about Erin B is, she 'defers' to the experts -- she knows her limitations and playsvery well within them. For eg -- I remember a segment on Kudlow's show in which she had to share time with Art Laffer and Larry. She knes that these guys are smarter and more experienced -- she was slightly overwhlemed but she maintained her composure and held her own. I found that to be gutsy and admirable. Wish her the best! Hope she doesn't take the Maria B route of sucking (literally and metaphorically) egos (and God knows what else!!) of bulge bracket pinstripes.

Um...Alexis Glick is no longer with CNBC; she's with Fox now, and has been there for some time.

her hair is way too big for that little head.

Burnett is not hot. I like Becky Quick and Didem Arslanoglu. Margaret Brennan has classic MILF looks.
BTW, no one gives a shit about a Williams / Amherst rivalry. Big effing deal.

Not quite. I actually attended a real Ivy.

No, by "real Ivy" I did not mean Cornell.

it didn't sound like levin was asking if anyone gave a shit about the amherst/williams rivalary, just personalizing her feelings about erin. but, 3:22, keep the rage alive.

3:22, keep on pulling levin's pony tail on the playground.
Posted by: idiot | June 4, 2007 03:43 PM
The assumption being, readers actually care about her feelings about Erin. If those feelings involve a late night pyjama party, 12" of rubber, and astroglide, that's one thing. But if not, nobody cares.
Posted by: Anon | June 4, 2007 03:48 PM
Hey Otto, didn't you go to Brown?

Erin Burnett is good but, not good enough to clean Maria Bartiromos shoes. Erin is good which I told her by email today......shes smart, pretty and hot to learn HOWEVER, as Maria well knows you need desparately to learn your trade (expand your knowledge) of the Markets and what moves them. Cramer is full of BS. Maria Bartiromo holds CNBC together. Tough you folk, however thats 30 for now.
Posted by: Ted | June 4, 2007 03:50 PM
3:48: how do you know those feelings don't involve those things?

Will Erin blow me for a ride on a corporate jet?

Amherst and Williams are what we call pretend ivies.
Posted by: BF | June 4, 2007 03:51 PM
Probably.
Posted by: Ace | June 4, 2007 03:52 PM
uh, no. amherst and williams don't give a fuck about the ivy league. people who get into amherst and williams could get into any schools in the ivy league.
Posted by: middlebury | June 4, 2007 03:53 PM
What ever happened to 'Alexis Glick?
Posted by: Samuel | June 4, 2007 03:55 PM
People who attended amherst and williams could not get into the ivy league. That's why the pretend ivies exist.
Posted by: anonymous | June 4, 2007 03:56 PM
There's a reason insiders at CNBC say the call letters stand for: "Chicks. Nothing But Chicks".
I agree that this poll is pointless without either Jarvis or Brennan. They're about even (depending on the morning) though Brennan is going to overtake Jarvis by wearing extremely tight turtlenecks. She totally surprised me with that the other day and people working there say she's insanely cute in person.
However, in terms of all-time camera hotness, Alexis Glick is somewhere between Jarvis and Brennan.
Posted by: L | June 4, 2007 03:59 PM
3:56, are you joking? anybody who went to amherst and williams could get into cornell, penn, brown, columbia, dartmouth. and they could probably get into princeton, yale and harvard, too.

Unless you guys are debating the merits of various science programs, it really couldn't matter less (at the undergrad level anyway)

Looks as if Amherst and Williams produce some pretty insecure grads. Your alma mater would be proud.

less amherst/williams/ivy bitching, more erin/bess making out.
Posted by: Anonymous | June 4, 2007 04:03 PM
"not to be a stalker but: bess levin at 2A on sat night. things i found out (by listening in on her conversations at the next table) for the dealbreaker readers' consumption:
she went to the mets on sunday (as a yanks fan, this was hard to take) with her friend's season tickets.
she might have been to the beach yesterday, someone remarked on how tan she was (it looked good).
she's awesome. me and my buddy were with the type of girls you take out who wear too much makeup and make you want to gouge your eyes out when they speak.
she likes scotch. (by my count had 5)
she has seriously soft hands (i introduced myself when she stood up. she shook my hand and i think winked though she was drunk and it might've been an involuntary spasm, and left. then i had to go back to listening to the skanks i was with talk about SDT at syracuse and other dumb jappy shit)."
mets/scotch/soft hands: perfect woman.

"SDT at syracuse and other dumb jappy shit"
Was that a misprint for "STDs at Syracuse"?
Probably not. Just wishful thinking I guess.

Undervalued CNBC asset - the red-headed Sorbonne MILF, la Liz. Take it to the bank.
Amherst v. Williams v. Brown... who cares? Georgetown v. Notre Dame v. Holy Cross v. St. Joe's - ad altare Dei, real schools, mo fo's.
its kind of weird reading the Bess stalker and thinking 'how could he" and knowing I'd have done the same thing. Jewish girls do look better with tans. and soft hands. well done, dude.

i saw brennan outside the apple store on 59th recently. she was spinning her blackberry like she had some pent up aggression. She's incredibly cute.
Posted by: Anonymous | June 4, 2007 04:57 PM
4:42 -- Holy Cross to emphasize the point to those not tuned to the Roman channel. St. Joe's because its way better deal for the money than G-town, I could have used Loyola NOLA, Fordam, or BC, but then folks would have to think about what they have in common with Georgetown. (Tip: think Jesuitical.)
Posted by: MSM Hack | June 4, 2007 05:06 PM
Well anonymous for once I agree.....Nothing like a whose hotter to get comments. This however is about talent and there never will be a Maria 2.0 there is a one and only. Like her or hate her......she is the champion of CNBC. Erin go bragh
Posted by: Audrey | June 4, 2007 05:09 PM
(1) "Spinning her blackberry" - is that a euphemism?
(2) It's FordHam -- Roddy Boyd went there, where he was known to hold court at the Tinker
Posted by: anonymous | June 4, 2007 05:56 PM
The Tinker is a fantastic bar.
Posted by: John Carney | June 4, 2007 06:30 PM
Agreed. Spent many winter nights there drinking Jameson. Roddy was often to be found at the back, discussing politics.
Posted by: jolly tinker | June 4, 2007 06:39 PM
You left out Jane Wells.
She's recently started to look a bit long in tooth, but for the past few years, she's been my favorite, and actually reports on cool stuff.
Erin's second. Bartiromo does nothing for me.

Oh really? Amherst's acceptance rate for the class of 2011 was 18%, down from 23% for the class of 2002. You find me a REAL ivy with an acceptance rate that high. Harvard and Columbia are at 9%. Even Stanford is at 10%. The liberal arts colleges are filled with rejects from top tier national universities just because their acceptance rates are so low!
Posted by: Anonymous | June 5, 2007 07:36 AM
-7:37, thats due to the wonders of the common application and any loser valedictorian from the midwest thinking he can get into the ivies. williams and the Herst don't get these losers applying and so don't have to reject them.
for the record, chose williams over princeton and yale.
Posted by: Anon | June 5, 2007 09:28 AM
on the contrary, williams and "herst" only get more applications hence stronger students now BECAUSE there is so much extra overflow from princeton and yale
loser valedictorians from the northeast just have a different set of safety schools than losers from the midwest
Posted by: Anonymous | June 5, 2007 10:04 AM
@4:06: Maybe you were looking for Craigslist?
Oh my god, people, get a life. School rivalries are cute. It's a blog. Chill the hell out.
Considering that the entire Northeast collegiate system has been overtaken by stupid mocha latte-loving overscheduled soulless yuppie scum, it is irrelevant who gets accepted and how many graduate from which identical white-dominated brainwashing institution.
And any tool who trots out his or her Ivy affiliation, plus acceptance rates thereof, as evidence of their intelligence misunderstands the meaning of the word "intelligence." And also the meaning of the word "social skills." If the entire use of the Ivy degree was to make you a self-obsessed, arrogant, entitled name-dropping rank-pulling loser who considers a blog the best place to show off your overcompensating inferiority complex, then maybe the Ivy League is better off not having to explain your existence.

What about Melissa Francis? She is the best looking woman on CNBC not to mention the brightest! Get rid of Erin Burnett...she is terrible. I can't stand to look at her helmet head any longer!
Posted by: Kathryn | August 21, 2007 03:16 PM
I agree with Kathryn. Put Melissa Francis in your poll! She is off the charts!
