Fox News Host Mocked By TV Comedian Delivers Epic Response Every Woman (And Man) MUST See
It was just another night on late night television. Only this time, the target of the alleged joke decided that enough was enough. As a result, Fox News host Jenna Lee stood up for women in a blistering response to comedian Conan O’Brien.
O’Brien, during a Monday night routine about supposed books that did not sell, held up a fake book with a picture of Lee on the front. Fox colleague Sandra Smith and two other women were on the back cover.
“Here’s a book – a coffee table book that just didn’t sell,” O’Brien said. “It’s called Fox News Anchor or porn star? You have to figure it out. Very hard – I say anchor.”
“Very hard to know,” the late night comedian added. He then tucked the book under his jacket and added, “This book’s a keeper right here.”
“As a wife, and a new mom, this trashy comment is not only inappropriate, it’s clearly ridiculous. And not even funny! I’m also someone’s daughter – and it’s for the benefit of young girls, like Conan’s daughter Neve, who are growing up in a world where porn references to successful, educated women are somehow considered “funny” and appropriate, even when made by fathers, that I think we need to discuss this,” she wrote.
“Conan brings up a sad truth,” Lee wrote. “Some women feel they need to dress and look like porn stars to make it on TV. I wonder where they get that idea? Could it be that the more provocative and sexy their social media photos are, the more followers they get? Maybe they don’t care about their ‘traditional career’ – the Twitter followers are enough. But personally, it makes me extremely sad to see so many talented women tarted-up because they feel like that’s what they need to do to be successful.”
Lee wrote that her priority is her career, not her appearance. She also noted that making that choice is complicated for women.
“I see the younger generation questioning about where their priority should be – the sexy selfie or the solid resume? And you can’t blame them for being confused. Class is on short supply as a priority for young women. It’s seldom reinforced, re-tweeted, tagged or trending – but it’s the one thing that never goes out of style.”
She added a hashtag to her post – #StayClassy.
There was no response from O’Brien to Lee’s post as of this writing.
