Back when I first started in TV news, a longtime news manager gave me some advice.

“Don’t be in awe of the players,” she told me. In other words, you are there to do a job and not be some fanboy.

I kept that advice in mind and did a pretty good job of following it. This job entitled me to meet some very big names, from Presidents to star athletes and Hollywood A-listers. I never acted like a star-struck fan and knew I was there to do a job.

Maybe someone can pass that advice on to KSDK (St. Louis) Reporter Holden Kurwicki.

Also, I don’t know who Nikki Glaser is, but she might want to fill out a stalker report on Mr. Kurwicki.

Just saying…
