Saw yesterday that Anderson Cooper is "back" Don't watch anymore, but used to be devoted to ABC's "World News Now" Super stuff, miserable time slot. Cooper's co-host was Thalia Assuras. She was the first Canadian woman I ever had a thing for. Anybody know what she is doing now?
 
Thalia Assuras was the Vassy Kapelos of the late 80's.

She was doing the Nightly News on CITY before she moved to CTV's Canada AM. When the host of the show left (can't recall) she figured the gig was her's but lost it to Valerie Pringle. Bitter, she left for the States. The crux is she wasn't aggressive enough, those days Pringle was everywhere. Mc's charities, doing radio shows and a regular guest on Michael Landsberg's Off The Record.

Last I heard of her, she was working with The American Clean Skies Foundation.

Gorgeous woman.

Valerie Pringle had four years as co-host of CBC Midday. I was working as a chauffeur in those days, I used to take a siesta at noon, I usually worked late into the night. She was in her early 30's then and was a very hot freckled redhead. She was also known for hosting the show in her bicycle shorts. Some of her interviews were legendary. David Lee Roth came on to promote his solo album - she wasn't impressed much. British comic Alexei Sayle came on and she took him to task over animal cruelty.

 
Thalia Assuras lost out, here's a pic from Canada AM. I know Keith Morrison was co-host, can't remember who this is?
