My Favorite Person On TV

Pat Kiernan is my favorite person on TV.

Apparently, I'm not the only person who feels this way.
There are countless Facebook groups (complete with fan art) dedicated to supporting Pat's popularity goal to replace Regis Philbin. I can see it.

The best segment on TV news ever is "In The Papers." For those of you who do not live in NYC—or, worse, think that you can get a better deal through Verizon instead of TWC—you have never seen Pat Kiernan grace your screen during NY1. 

This is how the segment goes:
-Pat Kiernan collects all the daily papers (NY Times, NY Post, Daily News, etc.)
-He (let's be honest, his staff) carefully combs through them to pick out the most interesting and pertinent articles in each paper
-He reads the headlines and explains the gist of the article
-He looks adorable while doing so

It's amazing. It makes you feel like you've read the entirety of all the newspapers and wisely selected which articles were worth your time to read. Now that you have "read" them, and now you know everything that people will talk about that day.

As Jon Stewart put it on his show this past Wednesday 1/29:
"NY1 is the pulse of our city...Just literally sitting there reading you the paper. They read it to you...NY1 is always there for us."

I couldn't agree more. 
And, it saves me the cost of a daily NY Times subscription.
