Robin Duckworth Kueppers, population one… SAAAAALUTE!
Robin, a woman I’ve never met nor spoken to, has gone above and beyond in her support for me. She was a faithful viewer when I anchored the news in Michigan. She watched regularly she says, particularly enjoying my co-hosting duties on “Live with Regis and Kelly.” I’ve had great support from viewers over the years. Usually when an anchor moves to another market the viewers adjust to the replacement and move on as well. I am humbled to experience so many of mine following me and without hesitation, letting me know they do. With this post, I hug and kiss them all by saluting one, Miss Robin.
She posted on my facebook page an effort to employ me, and that’s always a good thing. Now, I’m assuming she gets that I’m NOT Betty White, nor will I ever have that kind of star power. But it didn’t stop her from creating a campaign to get me back in the chair next to Kelly. While she wants you to “like” it, I’m just amazed a stranger would do something so supportive.
I’m pre coffee, so I’m certain this post makes no sense. But if a point is to be culled from this non-caffeinated rambling it is to salute Robin and her crew for believing in me enough to go there. I have an agent who says he’s hard at work putting my butt back in that seat, if only for a day. But while I wait to hear back from him, I salute and honor Robin for humbling me. The whole world deserves supporters like her. I’m fortunate enough to have already had my audition and equally lucky it was as strong as everyone tells me it was. If my agent’s effort isn’t able to get me back, who knows… maybe Robin’s will.
I would love to see you in the seat next to Kelly! I thought you were great when you co-hosted, after that contest, a couple of years ago. Good Luck with whatever you do Jeff! You were a great news anchor for Channel 3, and yes you are greatly missed!
Jeff,
I think you would make an incredible side-kick to Kelly! You are funny, fantastic to look at and have a true compassion for others. Loved working with you when you were local to me in NC (I was Mktg/PR at GTCC) and I am a huge fan of your work. All the best to you!!
Good to hear from you. Thank you for the high five. Backatcha!
I was looking for the “like” button to this post. LIKE!
Wow! II’m touched….I think I’m blushing (so is Donna) Tee-Hee! Thanks!
It’s amazing the kindness and loyal viewers appreciate the hard work you do. Keep being yourself no matter what life has in store for you.
You should’nt be at all suprised that you were and still are well liked and greatly missed by all. You did an amazing job on the Regis and Kelly show and would deff.do a good job as her side kick now.It would be great to see this happen.Yes we All back here in Kalamazoo have to try and adjust To those who are now filling you’r place (does’nt mean we have to like it.) LOL….You were the best. My personal oppinion you made news 3 What it was. Wishing you the best in all you do.
Hello Jeff…I’m hoping that you didn’t forget me back here in Kalamazoo. I was so disappointed with your departure from WWMT. However, I’m sure that it is for bigger and better things. I was sure that I’d see you in a permanent spot with Kelly by now as well. Tell your agent to ‘work harder’ and get you on there. I miss your great humor and you did have a great connection with Kelly. If you need votes I’m sending about a million your way from me. Oh, and by the way..Your hair is working for you…(Now you remember me..ha.) Take care. I hope to hear from you about what is going on in your life. bye
