By Brian Flood 

In the upcoming issue of More magazine, Meredith Vieira opens up about why she finally agreed to host “The Meredith Vieira Show,” her relationship with her former “Today” and “The View” colleagues and not wearing underwear.

Fox News Red Eye’s Joanne Nosuchinsky spoke with Rider University about being named Miss New York USA, her unique background and a desire to act.

Either you act or you host, and while I really do love hosting, I don’t think my whole career will be hosting. I have dreams of starring in sitcoms and films.

Legendary sports broadcaster Al Michaels opens up in his new autobiography “You Can’t Make This Up,” which hits bookstores today. Michaels discusses a wide range of topics including his broadcasting philosophy, O.J. Simpson and even tells a few Howard Cosell stories.

He [Cosell] would always mock [Olympics host] Jim McKay. Cosell also basically loathed his longtime ‘Monday Night Football’ partner Frank Gifford, referring to him as ‘the human mannequin.’
