Lydia Kulbida from News10 ABC and Fox 23: "The strangest viewer comment I’ve ever had came after our first child was born. Due to complications from a placental abruption, she was born almost five weeks early which meant I would miss anchoring an important ratings period. Not knowing much as a new mom, I went back to work after a few days and took my maternity leave a month later.

Having finally made peace with my profile, I told her if I paid for this nose I should get my money back." less
