The End of My Second Week at The Morning Show on Global

So it has now been two weeks since I started my internship! I have gotten really close with the staff here at 121 Bloor Street East including producers, directors and hosts. I have had so much fun so far and have met so many great people. Some people include; Rick Campanelli from ET Canada, Kristine Stewart (Head of Twitter Canada), Kardinal Offishall, and so many more talented people.

 I have had fun setting up contests, booking guests, assisting with things around the office and also have been invited to a couple events and staff lunches hosted by Global. I will be back for a third week the first week of January to help out as well, and am hoping that the connections I have made here will continue with me throughout the future. I really hope I left my mark on The Morning Show and have successfully assisted in running a smooth show, each and every day. I will be back with another blog post when I return for my third week!

Rosey Edeh, she is gorgeous and such a strong, talented woman. She was an Olympic runner and represented Canada THREE times! She didn't always want to do what she's doing today, but an opportunity came after she hung up her running shoes and she took it. She is wonderful and always smiling around the office. Antony Robart, such a cool, chill guy. He really is easy going and hilarious to be around, I swear he always has something funny to say. Liza Fromer, such a wonderful host. You can tell how much experience she has and how casual she can deliver information and stories. She is gorgeous and definitely deserves to be right in front of the camera. Leslie Roberts, what can I even say about this guy that everyone else hasn't already said...He is such a talented man. He knows what he's doing and I really don't even feel like I can say anything more just because he is such a knowledgeable person. Kris Reyes, the pregnant woman on TV! She is beautiful and absolutely so talented at what she does. She has this glow to her that illuminates the room that she's in. Liam Vu! What can I say about this social media guru.. he is absolutely amazing and just adds that bit of fun to the show. He know how to be goofy and ultimately make people laugh, he is creative and talented beyond words.And then there are all the people behind the scenes that help this show run properly; Nakita, Mackay, Ryan, Donnie, Alex, Steph, John, Todd, Jessica, Kieran, Mark, and ANYONE that I forgot..These people are all so talented. That is all I have to say.. it shocks me how amazing all of these people are and how they work so well together. Everyone adds their own little bit of pzazz to the show and the daily meetings. These people have all worked so hard in everything that they do and I am honored to even work in the same office that they're in each and every day. I hope to, someday be even one percent of what these people are. It is incredible how all these people have come to be such an important part of The Morning Show. Global News Toronto is lucky to have such a wonderful group of people. I hate to be corny, and I sincerely apologize for my corn-bagness... and usually I'm not like this, but Journalism in TV is what I aspire for and I don't think any of these people truly realize this, because I'm not going to lie - I try to keep it "cool" around the office, just so I can fit in with a professional environment.

In conclusion, so far I am so thankful for this opportunity, and it has really opened my eyes to what happens behind the scenes on the BEST Morning Show in Toronto. It has been a pleasure working with such talented, wonderful people and embracing every single opportunity to meet someone  new. The people here are beyond talented and wonderful to work with, I could not have asked for a better internship this winter.

P.S. I will be posting tons of photos to my blog, Twitter and Facebook of people I met and experiences I've had. Stay tuned for updates.

Happy Holidays!
