Get ready for at least one more day of tears on Fox 11′s Good Day LA.

On Thursday, Jillian Reynolds apologized to the departing Dorothy Lucey for all of the mean things she’s said about her during their 17-year run together.

The real winner in this segment was Steve Edwards, who received a Dorothy-Jillian sandwich hug.

I’m on to you, Steve.

Pretty funny appearance this morning on Good Day LA by comedian Howie Mandel. There to promote his FOX spontaneous flash mob series Mobbed, the comedian instead began by focusing on the program’s format.

“You’re the only show that is so much concerned for the guests that we won’t make it from over there to the desk,” he observed as he was escorted from camera-right by Steve Edwards. And perhaps hinting at some heated internal meetings, Jillian Reynolds replied that she has never been a fan of the practice, wishing that instead guest segments would start from the desk.

James Rainey Vs. Jillian Reynolds

James Rainey has decided that since Channel 11 laid off a quarter of their news staff, the news bunny/topical exhibitionist Jillian Reynolds should be skewered. She should be ripped on because she’s not one of the “good young people, with energy and dreams” who lost their jobs. She’s a vacuous yammer-o-matic who still has a job. The point being?

Rainey writes:

One could psychoanalyze the roots of her relentless exhibitionism. Reynolds has spoken before about growing up in foster care and suffering sexual abuse. She seemed to grant herself license in the Stern interview by acknowledging she is the “same idiot goofball” she has always been.

But, girl, you’re middle-aged and expecting a second child (as announced on the air this week).

You are working for a station where dedicated newspeople are soon to be out of work and suffering, mostly in silence.

Isn’t it time to grow up, just a little?

So being slutty and shallow is why she’s employed and because other people are now jobless she should not do her schtick? Her gimmick should be paused because of the economy? There are so many reasons to take on mind-numbing televised pseudo-journalism but a personal attack on a personality for still having a job? Not to “psychoanalyze” but that’s just lazy. And self-righteous. And, we never thought we’d say this in the defense of Reynolds – cheap.
