Remember a couple of days ago we showed you John the lying kid that ate sprinkles? It was a classic YouTube clip and the kid made for was one cute liar.
Ellen invited him on the show (which proves lying gets you cool stuff). And look at the stuff Ellen gave him.

I'm extremely pleased to let you know today we are announcing the appointment of Larry Wert as President of Local Broadcasting. Larry will report to me and oversee our 23 television stations and WGN Radio in Chicago. He will assume his new duties in the near future. The press release on Larry’s appointment is attached.
Larry has more than 30 years of broadcasting experience, and since 2008 he has served as President, Central & Western Region, NBC Local Media, overseeing five NBC-owned stations: KNBC-TV in Los Angeles, KNTV-TV in San Francisco, KNSD-TV in San Diego, KXAS-TV in Dallas and WMAQ-TV in Chicago. He joined NBC in 1998 as Vice President/General Manager of WMAQ-TV.
Larry is a skilled leader who knows local television and radio from top to bottom, and understands the importance of our local news operations to the communities we serve. He will be a great addition to the company.
Nils Larsen, who has overseen our broadcasting division since the summer of 2011 will assist Larry in the transition to his new role.
Please join me in welcoming Larry to the company.

The rumors were hot last week that WMAQ GM Larry Wert was going to take a gig at Tribune.
Wert downplayed the rumors and acted like they weren't true.
Well forget that.....

Anyone that is a longtime reader of FTVLive, knows I am a huge Robin Meade fan.
Robin and I worked together at WSVN in Miami and I can say without a doubt she is one of the nicest people that I have ever worked with. It's a shame she's not better looking, but she is very nice (I'm kidding...she's gorgeous).
Anyway, years ago I ran into the President (at the time) of CNN News and we got to talking. I told him.....

When it's ratings, your anchor has to be willing to do anything to get viewers to watch.
In Western Michigan, WXMI Fox 17 Morning Anchor Mike Avery Took to Polar Plunge this morning. Avery joined others by jumping into an ice filled lake.
Just over a week ago, after 12 years as a subscription site FTVLive.com relaunch as a free site once again.
That opened the site and myself up to a large group of people that never heard of me or the website. A number of those new people have emailed me asking questions about the website and myself.
I have tried to email those people back, the emails having been piling up and it is getting harder and harder to do. So I will answer them here in a new segment called "What's Up with You Dude?"
WSVN Reporter Rosh Lowe is surprised by a couple of idiots that pulled up behind him in his live report. The video:
FTVLive told you that the star reporter during the Christopher Dorner stand off was KCBS's Carter Evans.
Evans who is working freelance for KCBS (they should hire the guy full-time after this) drove up on the cabin where Dorner was holed up.
While he was on the air the.... proverbial shit hit the fan.
