15 Hottest Newswomen in America
Sometimes it’s tough to watch the news; it’s boring, it’s ugly and it reminds us that we aren’t safe where we live. It also demonstrates to us that bankruptcy is just a paycheck away for many, that the weather’s never what we want it to be, and that traffic is always terrible. Enter the hot newsgirl. Suddenly, it doesn’t really matter how bad the news is, or even how boring it is, that’s not what’s drawing your attention anymore. The cute, quirky, oddly inviting, yet overly feminine, reporter has you completely soothed and mildly entranced before you even realize that you’re paying any attention to the news in the first place. In no particular order, here are 15 of the hottest news-women in America — suddenly current events look a bit more interesting.
Trish Regan
Not just a pretty face — Trish graduated cum laude from Columbia to move on and graduate with honors from Phillips Exeter Academy. She used to work for Goldman Sachs in emerging markets and she’s fluent in both Spanish and Italian. Now she spends her time anchoring for CNBC on The Call, while making regular appearances reporting for NBC. As if that’s not enough, she’s a former Miss New Hampshire too.
Mary Calvi
Graduating magna cum laude from Syracuse University, Mary hit the New York news sphere like a hurricane. She’s Emmy-nominated seven times over, and she’s walked away with the trophy three times. She spends her time anchoring the weekends for WCBS-TV in New York.
Lily Jang
Graduating from University of Texas at Austin, Lily quickly moved through the ranks, and through the country, as she leapt from stations in Texas and Alabama to Seattle, WA. She now reports for Q13 Fox News Seattle, where she’s met considerable success and local favor in a short period of time. She’s fluent in Cantonese and Vietnamese, and if you hadn’t noticed, she’s pretty adorable, too.
Ainsley Earhardt
Ainsley has worked her way through local stations across the country since graduating from the University of South Carolina. She reported extensively for CBS before being picked up by Fox in 2007. She moved quickly, having already established herself as a regular co-host of Hannity’s America, Fox and Friends, and Red Eye, all while maintaining her late-night anchor duties. With the amount of face-time she’s getting, there’s no doubt we’ll be seeing a lot more of Ainsley in the years to come.
Jill Dobson
Former Miss Michigan, Jill Dobson is a Fox News Channel entertainment correspondent who migrated from CBS after college. She’s also part of an ever-growing cadre of beautiful women that seem intent on making Fox live up to its name. She appears regularly on numerous Fox shows, like Hannity and Colmes and Fox and Friends, and she even stops in to lighten up Bill O’Reilly’s torture-hour every now and then. We thank her for that.
Diane Macedo
This stunningly hot news-writer for Fox News Channel spends her time lurking the shadows of one of the world’s largest news networks. She barely exists on the Internet, save for plentiful by-lines and rare snapshots from her appearances on-air. Try catching her during Fox’s News Whip, whenever that might randomly occur — you won’t be sorry.
Sharon Tay
Sharon moved to the USA from Singapore when she was seven, only to pick up and move to the Philippines and back again before college. She graduated from Boston University and immediately got her window into broadcasting, picking up a gig working for a small cable news show. She later moved on to work in California’s Monterey Bay, where she worked investigative reports for a Salinas news station. That’s where she made it big — getting picked up by KTLA in Los Angeles. It was there that she went from reporter to anchor, only to leave the network for MSNBC. She didn’t stop there, either, as she’s now seen nightly anchoring for a local CBS station in LA. On top of all that, she’s made appearances in both Independence Day and Eagle Eye… as a reporter.
Kristine Johnson
Nominated for two Emmy awards, Kristine joins Mary Calvi in a pretty elite club at WCBS-TV in New York. Before that, this University of Nebraska grad spent time anchoring for NBC, and even MSNBC occasionally. One thing’s for certain — whatever they’ve got at that station, it seems to attract the right kind of woman.
Veronica De La Cruz
While focusing on family at the moment, Veronica De La Cruz is one of CNN’s most prolific anchorwomen to date, having anchored for or made regular appearances on many programming slots on both CNN and CNN Headline News, as well as CNN Pipeline. She’s also been featured on too many talk shows to count since she began a campaign against unfair medical insurance, and all while maintaining a smile that could melt a sphinx. Little-known fact: She’s a former figure-skater.
Contessa Brewer
With a penchant for mischief and looks to kill, Contessa makes MSNBC not only sexy, but fun. She made headlines a few years ago when she started a feud with Don Imus (we all know who lost that battle), and more recently made the hilarious mistake of calling Jesse Jackson Al Sharpton in a live interview. Go ahead, have a look.
Daniella Guzmán
Anchoring for NBC affiliate KPRC in Houston, Texas, Daniella Guzmán is no stranger to journalism. She’s made a career out of it, but not the way most of her colleagues do — Daniella has worked in nearly every television-related field and position, for companies ranging from Fox 26 to Univision, and even interned with ad agencies for a while. She’s seen all sides, and that has helped her become the down-to-earth anchorwoman she now is today, down in Houston. Being hot is probably the only thing that just came on its own, naturally.
Robin Meade
Needing no introduction, Robin Meade has a loyal fan-base that probably numbers in the millions (and all male). She spent years anchoring and reporting for stations up and down the east coast, and even managed to work in a stint as Miss Ohio. Robin joined CNN Headline News after gaining recognition (and an Emmy) for reporting during several crisis events, and it didn’t take her long to make a name for herself there. Now she hosts Morning Express with Robin Meade.
Morgan Fogarty
Queen of local “infotainment,” Morgan co-hosts Charlotte’s late-night news talk-show Fox News Edge. She graduated from Penn State and immediately took to the field, anchoring for NBC in Maryland before making the move to North Carolina. Her self-confessed dream job is to make the “tainment” part of her job more permanent, and work for E! Entertainment. One thing we do know, she’d fit right in with the girls at E!.
Dana Hendrickson
Don’t worry, she may not look it but she’s of age. Dana Hendrickson is one of the media’s most hidden gems. It’s only a matter of time until St. Louis’s NBC affiliate, KSDK, loses this little treasure to the offices in New York or LA. Dana’s currently biding her time hosting a little show called Show Me, St. Louis. St. Louis is probably more than willing to show her anything she asks.
Lynn Berry
WNBC 4 in New York is lucky to have Lynn heating up the place, since before signing there she had a gig as a correspondent for The Today Show. Another magna cum laude grad, this one came from Miami University in Ohio. She followed that up with a stint in LA at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. We’re interested to see where she winds up five years from now.
Mélissa Theuriau
In other news, while we may indeed have more journalistas than you could ever shake a stick at, we’d be remiss to ignore the fact that the rest of the world has plenty of competition to offer. Take France, for example: Mélissa Theuriau is so blazing hot that she’s become an international sex icon — just for reporting the news.
Really? No mention of Fox News’ Julie Banderas http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/2509/p34an3.jpg
Where’s Soledad O’Brien? She’s hott!
ahh yes, Mélissa Theuriau … would recommend a quick google images search to any interested parties — safe search, uhh, off.
I’m sorry, but how the hell does Jillian Barberie not make this list?
Jillian Barberie is ok. I disagree with Contessa and Robin on the list, though. Contessa has an oddly shaped face and Robin has a nasally voice. I would replace them with Erin Burnett of CNBC and the infamous Alicia Lane.
kudos to Fox for grabbing all the hot women.
Betty Nguyen? WTF…You are blind for not including her.
wish I spoke french…but Robin Meade is still the best. Christie Paul is a knockout too.
Wow, you sure picked some winers dude!

Two beautiful words: Megan Kelly
How could you leave Amy out?!
Whre’s Robin Scherbatsky
What about Michelle Gielan from CBS. Along with Meg Oliver
Oh, by “we” I mean Austin.
and by “hilarious” I mean fucking hialrious
Has anyone noticed that these women all have solid colors as top as opposed to whatever hotness Mélissa Theuriau has on? Sorry – faces second. But seriously – why can’t North American news anchors spice it up a bit?
how about kiran chettri? she is the hottest
How about anyone on the spanish stations. I cannot watch the spanish news without masturbating.
goosefeather-
“Has anyone noticed that these women all have solid colors as top as opposed to whatever hotness Mélissa Theuriau has on? Sorry – faces second. But seriously – why can’t North American news anchors spice it up a bit?”
Solid colored clothing is common practice in the broadcast industry. Some patterns do not translate well through the camera and end up looking funky on air. thanks
Heya Blake, This is hottest NEWSwomen. Fox is not a news channel so she does not quailify. Maybe if she moves to a real news channel she will.
Erica Hill, mentioned in the comments already, should absolutely be on this list. The fact that she is not… Boo @ manolith.
Evelyn Taft – currently working for KRON in the San Francisco Bay Area. We here on the Central Coast surely miss her.
Let’s get a list of the hottest international anchors next time. Wayyyyy hotter than the anchors in the US. I’ll get you started, Millie Clode from Sky Sports and Lucy Verasamy from Sky News.
If this is the definition of fair and ballanced, SIGN ME UP!!! Don’t forget Diane Sawyer http://bit.ly/3GwYZZ.
“Trish graduated cum laude from Columbia to move on and graduate with honors from Phillips Exeter Academy”
You do realize the absurdity of that caption, right? Nothing like enrolling in high school after Columbia.
Definitely Erica Hill. Also, Campbell Brown is pretty easy on the eyes too. She gained a little weight when she was pregnant but damn she is hot, especially when she’s all fired up on No Bias No Bull.
Mélissa Theuriau has always been one of my favorites, go ahead and google her. Of course you missed kerri lee halkett..
Kiran Chetry… FTW!
not one African American women,come on maaaann! Tamron Hall looks better than all them hands down,you guys don’t know real beauty
Where the hell is the goddess Lara Logan! This list is crap without her! I would love to give the news the good ol’ face down …… up!
Erin Burnett. HELLO! Her Fast Money nickname is the “Princess”
“Sometimes it’s tough to watch the news; it’s boring, it’s ugly and it reminds us that we aren’t safe where we live. ”
And this is why you, the author, should not vote. Now go watch some sports and drink beer and stfu, ok?
Good list.
But I have to throw in someone else, and I’m sure Im alone on this- but
Rachel Maddow
Sure she’s a lesbian and not the kind men like. BUT she has a hottness that is more about how Intelligent she is and DAMN GOOD at her job.
think you forgot one…

As a member of the Baby Boomer generation, it’s wonderful to see how far women have come in broadcast news. I would also like to cast a vote for Diane Sawyer, a fellow Boomer of WABC. NY
I like Lily Jang she has such a clean look to her.

Becky Quick. The reason to wake up in the morning and turn on CNBC is to be turned on by Becky Quick.
Quick quickens my pulse every morning.
Lucy Nolan, KHOU Houston, is deserving of a mention on the list.
Ah… cummon folks. Rachel Maddow. Brilliant……………..
no Molly Line? Fools!

Michelle Valles -
local Austin CBS News – KEYE
Soledad O’Brien is such a phony. In April 2008, Reverend Jeremiah Wright gave a speech in Detroit to the NAACP. One of the things that he said in this speech was that black and white children learn with different parts of their brain, and then gave an “unflattering imitation of the way white pastors speak.” Peoples comments were that he gave a racial speech. Soledad O’Brien, on CNN, was quoted as saying, in a gushing manner, that the speech was a “home run” and “really funny.” When questioned about the things he said in the speech, she would say things like, what he really meant was …..or what he wanted to say was… Once again she’s covering the truth and being racist. Just as with the Henry Gates incident. In an appearance on Anderson Cooper, the night or so before CNN’s “The Moment of Truth” she appeared enraged that it was a racial profile against Gates. She said that she got calls from her FRIENDS saying it was all about Gates being black. She went on that show with the purpose, at all costs, to destroy the credibility of the white police officer and throw him under the bus. When Cooper was talking she wanted to make the point that Gates said “Thank You” to the police officers. By mentioning that, she was purposely misrepresenting the truth by playing down Gates’ belligerence and racial remarks, which she didn’t even mention. Even Gates’ attorney and friend, said to the media that he used very strong language. Colon Powell and President Obama both said he should take blame in the incident. I have seen this in many occasions with her, where she doesn’t speak the truth and hides the true facts. Another time on Anderson Cooper, Cooper said to O’Brien that Senator John McCain hasn’t brought race into the campaign, like he said he wouldn’t. You would think her response would have been something like, that’s great because he shouldn’t. Instead she strongly insinuated that he would, even in the last week of the campaign. Also, her questioning style, in interviews is completely different with a white person than it is with a black person. Like in her interview with Henry Gates in “The Moment of Truth” She just went along with his lies. I have seen several comments on various websites about her racism. There are many other examples I could give of her racial bias, dishonesty and hypocrisy. She seems to consider herself to be black. She mentioned in an interview that her parents made it clear to her “you’re black” and that’s all there is to it.
She’s all about being #1, she wants the world to revolve around her. She comes first, before her family. She wants to be a celebrity figure and a star. In interviews she says she works 6 days a week, mostly out of town, and on some holidays. She goes to gala events, concerts, lots of entertainment events, as a single woman, leaving her husband and kids behind.
I think Soledad O’Brien is a very poor journalist. What ever happened to the days of CNN with Bernard Shaw and Judy Woodruff? T hey were honorable journalists. You could believe what they said. John Las Vegas
Regarding Trish Regan, unless she’s living life chronologically in reverse, she did not graduate from Columbia J-school and move on to Phillips Exeter Academy.
Phillips Exeter is a high school.
Michelle Gielan’s ideal 1st grade teacher persona gets my backing! Amy Goodman is that idealistic and kindhearted mother of our dreams.
Ninevah Dinha of KSTU Fox 13 Salt Lake City is a hottie!!!!! Check her out…………
It apparently 16,not 15,shit
i tak zawsze najladniejsze beda POLKI !! :D
Rachel Maddow? LOL
she has the neck of a bodybuilder and the jaw of an action movie hero.
Not one from Telemundo or Univision?!? They are waaaaaayyyy hotter over there, even if you can’t understand them.
Trish and Ainsley are my favorites :)
With Contessa Brewer and without Liz Cho from ABC (channel 7) in New York, this list is full of fail. Although Mary Calvi and Kristine Johnson are AWESOME (I’ve met them in person… pretty cool too).
Congratulations for the best of the best….
V e r o n i c a d e l a C r u z
Haydee
What about Nancy Grace and Barbara Walters?
KPRC in Houston is the center of hotness. Who cares about credentials, it’s all about hotness
Nineveh Dinha is missing
