The Famed Sue Simmons Video
Once again NBC has proven that they have no loyalty to any of their employees. After 32 years, they have fired Sue Simmons. Sue hosted the NBC newscast with another legend Chuck Scarborough. Together they gave the Big Apple a news team you could trust.
Sue was a real New Yorker who told it like it was and even admitted to having a few drinks before going on the air. She brought worldwide attention to herself when she used the F-Word live on the air, a event that maybe shocked the rest of the country, but not the people of New York. We loved Sue Simmons for being real.
I remember many times in the 80's when I would be slamming down drinks and right alongside of me was the famed Sue Simmons. She was real and a news source you could trust. Back in those days New York was more of a party town and every member of the press would be running to events and having a few.
The past few years NBC has been showing how their employees mean nothing to them. They prove it time after time. One good example was when NBC moved the Jerry Springer Show from Chicago to Connecticut for tax breaks, and employees that had been with the show for many years were given the boot with just about no severance. The only employees that seemed to walk away with any kind of money, were the ones who knew of a certain NBC vice president's cocaine parties and alcohol binges. I for one witnessed this wild vice president at a event at New York's Cutting Room. We also drove around NYC in a huge stretch Limo, paid for by NBC. It might be good to also point out, that NBC just does not seem to want to pay taxes at all. Their parent company General Electric paid no taxes in 2010. They made $14.2 billion in worldwide profits that year, including $5.1 billion in the United States — and paid exactly zero dollars in federal taxes. But this means nothing as the NBC executives live a lavish lifestyle at the cost of taxpayers.
But back to Sue Simmons. She will surely be picked up by another network because we trust Sue Simmons and no one can deliver the news like her. The team of Sue Simmons and Chuck Scarborough could never be re-created anywhere, but Sue is such a talent, we are sure she will be heading onto bigger and better things.
Good Luck Sue, New Yorkers Love You!
