TV Personality

The Resume

    (January 24, 1960- )
    Born in Christian County, Kentucky
    Birth name is Richard Gary Leventhal
    Fox News correspondent (1997- )
    Local news affiliate reporter (1987-97)

Why he might be annoying:

    His IMDb entry erroneously lists his birthplace as Silver Spring, Maryland (although he was raised there).
    He dated and proposed to Real Housewives of Orange County star Kelly Dodd.
    He looks like the Candy Man singer from the Willy Wonka opening number.
    He set off an awkward Fox News segment exchange in which another panelist compared Hillary Clinton to herpes.
    He called off his wedding to newscaster Lauren Sivan a week before the wedding.
    He divorced 'Current Affair' host Penny Daniels and professional poker player Beth Shak (the latter after less than a year).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He reported locally from five different cities over ten years.
    He is a huge New York Yankees fan.
    He is active on Instagram.
    He has been to war zones nearly two dozen times (including 5 to Iraq and 4 to Afghanistan).
    He was one of the first reporters on the scene to interview witnesses during the 9/11 terror attacks.
    He has provided live coverage of Captain Sully's miracle landing on the Hudson, the 2010 Haiti Earthquake, and the killing of Osama bin Laden.
    He has largely refrained from taking partisan stances in his reporting.
