News Anchors

News anchors are almost all side parters, and there are clear differences between the left and right ones...the left are all very status quo, the right are very ideosyncratic.
For laughs, included at the bottom TV world' famous anchormen - Ted Knight, playing Ted Baxter - who sports a right part and the wacky personality that fits so well.


Tom Brokaw
Tom Brokaw was replaced by Brian Jennings - very similar indeed.

Of course, the master, Walter Cronkite could never be duplicated.

Following are a few right part anchors, and although Dan Rather has been on both sides, the last few years its been on the right - surprising how rapidily he lost his position among the great anchors over a story that allegedly was right, but with bad evidence.

Ted Koppel - an intense interviewer and presence.


How about the fake news with Ted Baxter, who played the bumbling fool to a T, his unique character is not suprisingly supported by the way heparts on the right.



Look how his look changes when it is reversed!
