Willard to Abrams: “That Dude’s Just Jealous”

Well, this is new — some verbal ribbing involving Fox Business Network that isn’t a battle with CNBC.

Last week, Dan Abrams used a portion of his “Beat the Press” segment to call out FBN’s Cody Willard, co-host of Happy Hour. Willard interviewed PETA model Joanna Krupa and very briefly could be seen glancing toward the plunging neckline of his guest’s dress (Abrams also picked up on his multiple mispronunciations of PETA).

Willard checked in with TVNewser to offer a (tongue-in-cheek) challenge to the MSNBC host: “That dude’s just jealous he can’t get Joanna Krupa booked. Tell him I’ll respond to this Abrams dude when he’s got enough guts to man up to the bar with me. Anytime.”

Fightin’ words! Well, the offer is on the table — or the bar.
