With the husband of WGNO morning anchor Anne Cutler deployed in Afghanistan on Valentine’s Day, staffers at the New Orleans ABC affiliate came up with a wild way to cheer her up.
Knowing Cutler was obsessed with Noel the Sloth at the Audubon Zoo, they set her up on a blind date with the slow moving mammal. Cutler thought she was going to the zoo to shoot a promo, but instead she was there to get some solo sloth time.
“Valentine’s Day is a little tough when you don’t have your hubby around,” said Cutler. Speaking of her husband she added, “I’m so happy that he’s safe and sound and doing good things and I can’t wait for him to come home.”
But in the meantime, there’s always Noel the Sloth. You can watch the video of the rendezvous after the jump.
