‘Everyone Had an Animal’: Watch Fox‘s Shepard Smith Explain His ’First Big Break’

Ever since Fox set its current lineup in place, we have all come to know the Fox News Anchors almost as though there was never a time when they weren’t there, either delivering the news, or commenting on it, or sometimes even screaming about it.
But of course, that’s nonsense. We all know that there was a time when Sean Hannity was confined to radio, or Bill O’Reilly had hair and constantly wanted to do his segments live (though that last one may be due more to Youtube). And apparently, there was also a time when Shepard Smith wasn’t reporting on the latest breaking nationwide news, but was instead staying up late into the night editing stories about…dogs, kids and Lethal Weapon? What?
Watch Smith explain how he first got recognition in the news business below:

Posted on July 3, 2012 at 3:47pmSeeing this it seems that Shepard understands hard work and sacrifice. It sounds like he did whatever it took to get a job and succeed. I wonder why he’s such a liberal.

When I say “Bear”, I of course refer to Shep’. Watched him regularly and started to see hints of what he really thinks coming through. What was that stupid comment he made just a month/month and-a-half ago?

Posted on July 3, 2012 at 12:57pmMr. Smith has a warped sense of humor, frequently see’s the silliness in a story, and has an opinion about many. I have not seen a ‘straight’ reporter in years, they all proffer some type of opinion sooner or later while reading. He is no different. As he gets older, I have seen a shorter fuse developing, and more passion. To date, I expect and assume 95% of all on air reporters are liberal, he seems to have a more even keel, lets hope money and noteriety do not rock that boat.

Posted on July 3, 2012 at 12:49pmWhen you start at the bottom you can only go up from there and you don’t fear falling back, because, the thrill of rising keeps you from doing so.
When you start at the top there is no where to go but down and the fear of falling grips you with each set back and eventually over-powers you and down you go.
If you want to be one of the great ones, start at the bottom and work you way up through your abilities and creativity.

Posted on July 3, 2012 at 10:10amShep is an idiot. Its obvious he is a liberal. I make a point of missing his show. Fox is always saying “we report and you decide”. Why doesn’t someone tell Shep about this.
Shep, interjects his opinions all the time. He is a sickening A-hole.

Posted on July 3, 2012 at 8:46amI lived in Orlando at the time and used to watch local 6. Those names in the clip are a flashback.
I like Shep. Can’t quite get a bead on his politics, he seems to be all over the board, but he is a real guy. He reminds me of Paul Newman as Chance Wayne in Sweet Bird of Youth, to the point where I almost believe he studied that performance to create his own persona.
Like Cavuto, I enjoy when Shep gets fired up and personal with issues. I just wish I had the chance to watch him more than I do, it is a bad time slot for me.

Posted on July 3, 2012 at 1:47amNay, Shep probably isn’t gay. He mentions that he and his wife packed up the car and traveled to Florida. Shep is probably a metro-sexual. These are men who believe that they are more “enlightened” than regular guys. Anderson Cooper “came-out” recently saying that he is gay, but I doubt that anyone is surprised by his announcement.

Posted on July 3, 2012 at 7:54amIt’s strange that some of you have noticed Shep looking slightly emaciated lately. My husband and I thought he might be ill. Hope not. He’s a tolerable lib unlike Colmes. We always like to look up his reference a few years ago of J-lo where he accidently said “blow j_b“ instead of ”job”. We are childish that way sometimes.
