Here's what these Citytv personalities have to say about Gord...
Marella Fernandez:
Down here we call Gord, King of the Adlib. He can fill time like no one else in the business. Congrats!
Laura Di Battista:
Gord has always given the best nicknames to people in the newsroom. He gave me my name practically the minute I walked into the newsroom, 19 years ago. I will be forever known as Topo Gigio the little Italian mouse. A few of the "lifers" in the newsroom still call me Topo. I won't divulge other nicknames he's given people...you'll have to get it out of them.
Liz West
Working with Gord has so many benefits. As a newscaster he is a great role model. He's cool under pressure, can ad-lib like no other, and knows what he is talking about. Not to mention his photographic memory. He also has a way of adding a real personal touch to his relationships .... who else calls me Miss Elizabeth? Off camera, Gord keeps us laughing with his wicked sense of humour and keeps me on my toes ... daily I dodge the various objects he likes to toss my way during the commercial break!

Of course people are going to scrutinize him now. I think he's fuckin hilarious. We all say naughty jokes like that. Poor Gord is gonna get heat now though

Yes, but we are not all News Anchors that the community looks up.

damnit...I saw this on a car forum I'm on too...but I don't want to play them while at work
well, without knowing the details yet and barring something he said being *really* offensive, I doubt Gord will face too much heat...he's been with CityTV since back in the day. I could do without Gallagher though...talk about annoying.
