EspañolJODI APPLEGATE
'Jodi Applegate' (born May 2, 1964 in Wheeling, West Virginia) is an American news anchor. She currently anchors WNYW-TV's ''Good Day New York'' with Ron Corning.
Applegate was raised in Moon Township, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Pittsburgh. In 1982, Applegate graduated from Moon Area High School. She then attended New York University, where she got a degree in television and film.
From 1993 to 1996, Applegate hosted ''Good Morning Arizona'' on KTVK. During her stay in Phoenix, Applegate met and married sportscaster Rob Nikoleski. In 1996, Applegate began anchoring ''MSNBC Live'' and ''Weekend Today''. She also filled in as a substitute host on the ''Today'' show. In late 1999, she hosted ''Later Today'' with Florence Henderson and Asha Blake. The show was canceled in 2000. In mid-2001, Applegate joined WFXT-TV in Boston. She anchored the ''FOX 25 Morning News'', and also briefly anchored the short-lived 4:30 P.M. newscast.
In October 2004, Applegate left WFXT-TV for WNYW-TV in New York City. Applegate began anchoring ''Good Day New York'' in 2005. On July 27, 2006, she gained nationwide notoriety for an incident during a segment on ''Good Day New York'' towards the end of the 7am hour. Casey and Van Neistat, film-maker brothers, were supposed to be demonstrating how to steal a bicycle (in support of a video they'd made). During the demonstration of a "very dangerous" angle grinder to cut a heavy chain, Casey made it appear as if his brother had cut his throat (using ketchup and yelling excitedly). Applegate angrily scolded the two for perpetrating a prank on live TV. The incident became a popular video on the Internet.
In August 2007 Jodi appeared in the September 2007 issue of More magazine in a feature on "Portraits of 40+ Style".
