Nominees for D.C.’s Best Hair

Every Friday Hotline features an interview with a D.C. journalist, and this week’s featurette is a few words with CBS Capitol Hill reporter Joie Chen. In it, she explains that she loves South Carolina (for vacation), The Cat in the Hat (to read to her 5-year-old), and that she’d love to interview her grandparents.

She also shares her most embarrassing career moment: “My co-anchor at the time [CNN's] Miles O’Brien and I neglected to notice we were back on camera — until he called himself a ‘big schmoe.’ Everyone in the control room was laughing so hard they couldn’t tell us we were on TV. Then we started laughing so hard that we couldn’t toss to the commercial break. At least I didn’t call HIM a ‘schmoe.’ Whatever that is.”

The Hotline feature traditionally ends with this week’s interviewee being asked to ask next week’s interviewee a question. Chen asked “Who has the best hair in D.C.”?

We’re going to open that one up. Email us with your nominees for best media-type hair in the city.
