From The Denver Post:



Of course it’s all in fun, and Will Ferrell is likely to win, but look who nominated himself for People magazine’s “Sexiest Anchor Alive” contest: KMGH’s Eric Kahnert.

Okay, now my webteam is getting in on this madness .. apparently they think I have a shot * if you concur * and want to see me in People Magazine * you have to send-out a tweet with this: @peoplemag @erickahnert #SexiestAnchorAlive

Odd way to introduce oneself to the No. 17 market as the newest lead anchor at the station known for serious journalistic content.
