Broadcasting Start

For Camerota, the journey to the cutthroat world of cable news morning shows kicked off when she was sitting at home on a coach as a teenager. She told a story about her inspiration to get on television began that one day, “I figured it out at 15 years old. I was at home on the sofa watching Phil Donahue, a show I routinely watched. It dawned on me. Wait a second, he’s asking questions and they’re telling interesting stories. Is that a job?”
Alisyn was amused with the idea that she could be on TV talking to people and get paid for it. As a teenage girl, she had no problems starting conversations with her friends so she felt that she could translate those skills to the TV screen.
