PYT, News Anchor, Repeat After Me!

Which Chicago female news anchor would you like to get your news from? A lovable Robin Baumgarten? The always-professional Diann Burns? Did you SEE the rack on Rebecca Romijn NOStamos? Question answered.

While RebRo won't be delivering the REAL news to you any time soon, you will be able to catch her in a new show where she plays a Chicago news anchor named Pepper Dennis. Pepper Dennis? Seriously? It's the both the name of the show and the anchor Romijn plays. And it seems pretty predictable - Pepper is a career-oriented woman, she's friends with the station's makeup artist & cameraman, the cameraman has a secret crush on Pepper, Pepper's needy and spoiled sister lives with her, and Pepper hooked up with a hot guy who turns out to be her boss and while she tries to hate him she secretly wants to hook up with him again. Oh, the shenanigans that can only result!

Pepper Dennis drops references to Skokie, O'Hare, Trotter's and Northwestern but not surprisingly, none of it is filmed here.
The show is slated as a midseason replacement series on the Dubya Bee. It may be worth checking out just to see RebRo post Stamos.. and for hoping to get a glance at that rack. Hmmm... well.. the show isn't Stacked, but seems like it will be just as craptacular.
