Exploiting My Baby : A Blog by Teresa Strasser

Here’s another clip from my new show, The List.
 
According to Forbes, German Chancellor Angela Merkel is the “Most Powerful Woman in the World.” I want to know if people know more about her than a sit-com character last seen in 1998.

I’m standing on the set of a television show, crammed into a burnt orange maternity dress and exposing my cankles in a pair Fit-Flops — the only shoes that still fit — feeling sweat drip down my spine while experiencing a mild contraction. It’s the final rehearsal before the launch of a new show I’m co-hosting. I’m 38 weeks pregnant.
 
Forget the pit stains and the jowls, I will be working right up until my water breaks.

Hired pregnant, and willing to work up until I’m crowning, I guess that puts me in a league with newly minted Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer, who made news when she Tweeted that she was six months pregnant just hours after Yahoo announced her appointment. (more…)

Here’s another clip from my new show, The List.
 
I may have no mojo when it comes to clairvoyance, but my fetus? That’s another story. He KNOWS things.

So obviously I have been bad at blogging as of late. Sorry. I’ve been busy being fat and pregnant while also starting up a new hosting gig on The List, a nightly news/entertainment TV magazine. Needless to say life has been pretty nuts.

Not to seem too lazy, but to keep you all in the loop, I’m quickly posting a couple of video clips I did for the new show and will be back to blogging as soon as I pop this boy out and get back to work. Enjoy.

The List is a television news magazine that finds the intersection between the news of the day and pop culture on a nightly basis.

The show is founded around something we all use to stay on track – lists – to look at daily consumer issues and the hottest news trends.
