CNN’s John Berman did some media reporting this morning on New Day, and the big story involved the woman sitting to his left: Erica Hill.
Filling in for Alisyn Camerota this week, Hill made an appearance in the famed New York Times Crossword this morning as Clue No.32-Down: “TV journalist Hill.” (“ERICA”)
“It’s pretty fantastic,” said Hill. “My grandmother used to do it [the Crossword] everyday, my grandmother Ruth, who I’m named after.”
