No Green For Me!


No green for me, true to my black and gold!

Good Morning, and Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Katy here.

I’ve always been a spirited person. You’ll usually see me decked out in clothes that match with the holiday. Red, white and blue on 4th of July, pastels for Easter, orange and brown for Thanksgiving...you get the idea. So you can imagine how sad I was this morning when I saw everyone walk in wearing green! You see, I can’t wear green at all, because of the weather wall! It’s all TV magic. The camera I talk into is programmed to place our weather graphics over the green backdrop. So if I wear green I disappear! I like to say it’s my invisibility cloak, like Harry Potter. But, whether you’ve realized it or not, you’ll never see me wearing green on TV! I am happy to say that since I can’t wear green, I CAN wear my tiger stripes!! My alma mater, University of Missouri takes on UC tonight in basketball. I’m ready to go in my black and gold! Although, I do have a bet going with Bruce Davis and Carl, one of our morning producers. Bruce is a UC grad, and Carl is a big fan. If Mizzou wins, Bruce will wear black and gold tomorrow on the air and Carl will spray paint his hair black and gold. If UC wins, I’ll be wearing the black and red tomorrow. May the best team win! Go Mizzou!
