There was a female reporter on LNN who was actually named and my memory tells me it was an obvious parody of the real Connie Chung - the name was very similar, IIRC. Now, knowing my memory that's about all I can tell you and even that might be skewed. <G>
Was it in ILTY, perhaps? When they're watching the LNN report on the TV in the newsroom?
But I agree with Vicki. The US is such a melting pot that almost any name will work.
EDIT: Ooooops. Just spotted in your post you don't want LNN. Okay, just ignore me. <G>
