I think it is refreshing that we have had the chance to see a number of people try this out. Taking over from Marilyn is hard enough, but I cannot imagine how tough it must be to do an audition on live television. These women have been under tremendous pressure and I appreciate all of their efforts.
However, if I had to choose, there is not doubt in my mind that Cityline should hire Jacqueline Hennessy as the new host. She has a presence that is really upbeat, funny, smart, spontaneous and sassy. Her down-to-earth way of connecting to people is gracious and genuine.
Everyone who has been a guest host has had something special about them, but I think that Jacqueline has the unique combination of qualities that make her a winner.
