Great Odin's Raven!!!

Usually they want to be in teevee news AFTER they're on the show:
----------------
From the Arizona Republic – December 6

We don't often trade in reality show news here because, frankly, we don't care that much about it.

But imagine my surprise when I got word from publicists that a Phoenix resident is going to be on the next season of The Apprentice...This time they're doing it in Los Angeles as a change of pace; it debuts Jan. 7.

That's where you'll find Jenn Hoffman, a 26-year-old ASU grad who works as a publicist for Orca Communications Unlimited and a tv reporter for KTVK in Phoenix. Here's the official bio NBC released, along with a handy quote -- handy because contestants can't talk till they either win or get fired, whichever comes first:

"Jenn, 26, grew up in Huntington, New York and graduated from high school when she was just 16 years old. She studied sociology and communication at Arizona State University, earning a bachelor degree in interdisciplinary studies, with her last semester spent studying abroad at the University of Cambridge in England. Eager to see the world, she backpacked through Europe before returning home to earn her M.B.A. in marketing at the University of Phoenix. Now a top publicist for a public relations firm in Phoenix, Jenn develops and manages full-service media plans for major corporations. She is also a features reporter Good Morning Arizona, having worked previously as both a reporter and television host. In addition, Jenn is the co-founder/editor in chief of Contact Magazine, a popular lifestyle publication. In her free time, she enjoys running, singing, acting and traveling. She thinks she should be the next Apprentice because she's 'very different than anyone else Mr. Trump has ever interviewed to be his next Apprentice.'"

So there you go. A reason to watch -- and The Apprentice needs one, in my view.
---------------------

Good luck Jenn!!! Hope the other women aren't too catty with you...to coin a phrase graemlins/eusa_whistle.gif

I don't remember ever seeing her do a story on KTVK and she does not appear in the bio section of AZFamily.com.

Regardless, I'd say they've traded up.

I worked with her at KTVK briefly. She is on the morning show but not every day. Now I'm at another station but we still keep in touch. She reads this board, ya know? Here is the press stuff NBC sent out.

there seem to be several nice looking young ladies on that cast. I am sure I'll be watching.

It looks like the Apprentice is going for more of a "Paradise Island" look this season, with a younger cast, and an apartment for them with a pool.

Geez Jenn, I guess nuclear control rods aren't the only materials so hot they have to stand in a cooling pool!
