CircleSeven 1955 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Looks like Ron has found a new job after all: http://www.howdini.com/howdini-video-6650251.html Hmmm, Well, at least he has something.

SuitSnob 19 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 There's no shame here. He is keeping himself in the public eye and doing what he does with skill and professionalism; and it's not as if he was hawking juicers with Billy Mayes on late night TV, he's featuring top professionals and it is tastefully done. As long as he doesn't try to teach other men how to dress in suits he can continue to do this with class and grace until something more high-profile that takes full advantage of his many talents comes along.

nycprod 0 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 He's not working for Howdini. I was a producer at FOX until June and Ron was loaned out to Howdini as part of a shared agreement/cross promotion deal. We used Howdini experts on Good Day, and Ron hosted segments on Howdini. That gift wrapping segment is from Christmas of last year. I know it as fact.

SuitSnob 19 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Oh my god!!! He included the kikachu!!!! (great suit that day though...too bad he got fur all over it) Oh my god....the clip from the Oscars where he is wearing the tux with a jewel button closure instead of a tie...clearly that is from his pre-SuitSnob Reform days. Oh my god...a shot of one of his most notorious outfits...where he wore the jacket from the FORBIDDEN SUIT with jeans! And again, the notorious wearing of the FORBIDDEN SUIT on the 9/11 anniversary! Oh my god...wearing an open-collar shirt while doing the news. Oh my god...the ugly Hawaiian shirt with the puka beads! (now going to watch the news reel) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/3546-the-docs-first-move-corning-dropped-from-gdny/page/3/#findComment-44162 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtgh922 18 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 First off, regarding Corning wearing an open collar shirt on GDNY... Since when has anyone really thought of GDNY as a real new show? I haven't since Jim Ryan left, and even then it was far from being news. And if I recall, he normally only did it on Fridays, which I didn't mind at all, and I doubt many other viewers did as well. Secondly, I don't care what anyone says; Jodi and Ron were the best team GDNY had since Chris Gailus left. They had great chemistry, and were really a pleasure to wake up to. I'm glad Jodi got hired by WCBS 880. At least she'll still be in NYC. I hope Ron gets another job in New York. I as well as alot of other New Yorkers to miss him.

jtgh922 18 Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 OMG i can't stop laughing!! In a clip from Ron's youtube compilation, he and Jodi Applegate are interviewing Bob Saget... Saget (standing between Jodi & Ron): "You two are like Lucy & Ricky" Corning: "She's Ricky, I'm Lucy" Saget: "I understand" I luv it!!!!

As far as going tieless, I call your attention to an article that wasn't even written by me, recently linked in the Male Fashion Disasters thread: http://www.lacrossetribune.com/articles/2008/12/03/news/z04anchors.txt Ever notice that Regis never goes tieless? That's because the man is OLD SCHOOL!

TellyGenic 33 Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 There's a thread over on TVSPY.com (which I can't access because it's more than 48 hours old) that says Ron has landed a new job in London. Can anyone access that thread and give us the details? TIA....

LosAngeles7 0 Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Poor Ron Corning. He should have hung on at ABC a little longer! I thought he did a find job on their morning programs. He had a pleasant face and voice apt for early television. Had he managed to stay, he could have been up there with David Muir as a correspondent for World News!

SuitSnob 19 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Though it is grey and atrocious, it is not THE SUIT, which was a plaid with notch lapels. I truly hope they made Ronnie dress in that high-fashion disaster and that it wasn't his choice. What is the purpose of trying to look like a hipster on a webcast aimed at small business people?
