Alisyn in the Greenroom

6 Degrees of Separation, Blogging, etc

It’s now been proven scientifically!  Microsoft looked at 30 billion emails sent by 180 million people around the world and found that everyone in the world really is only 6 degrees separated from each other.  wanna play?

We just had “Mom to the Screaming Masses” on.  Carmen Staicer actually makes money by blogging.  Huh?  How does THAT work?  She says:

Pick a good topic (one you’re most comfortable with), pick a memorable name (In the Greenroom anyone?), Pick your blogging platform and choose a free one (like WordPress or blogspot) and start writing!  So how do you make money?  Get ads on your site via ad networks like Google ads and adsense).  36 million women a week now read blogs.

What does one have to do to go to one degree of seperation from the beautiful, the lovely, the gorgeous Alisyn Camerota.

Comment by Alisyn Camerota

I’m gonna count this as your 1st degree.

 
 
Comment by chas

Good morning Ms. Alisyn,

Does talking to you here count? I sure hope so. ;)

I’ve met Gretchen Wilson at a meet and greet prior to a concert.

So between you two I’m guessing that if I understand this correctly, I’m within degrees of a good number of people.

Have a great day Ms. Alisyn.

According to the Microsoft study, email does count

 
 
Comment by jakeho

Good morning, Aly! Looking as lovely as ever. Btw, tell Griff that you won’t bite: he could move over a bit closer.

Comment by Alisyn Camerota

I do tend to get hungry

 
 
Comment by Gerry

Does the T.V. count haha

Let’s play

 
Comment by doug coonfield

i watched your interview with john voit so that makes me 3 degrees separated from angelina jolie, right?

Comment by Alisyn Camerota

See, I always thought you had to actually meet the person for it to count

 
 
Comment by scott

My name is Scott Kraner. I live in Geneva, Al… Geneva, Al. is about 70 due north of Panama City, Fl… I grew up in Ohio, joined the Army(Desert Storm) and when I got out I moved to Nashville, Tn… I am here now because of some great job transfers(serious). I have a great wife (Joyce Ann). We have two sons and we also keep care of my wife’s 3 brothers that are MR. I was trying to think of the six degrees, so here goes, I know someone that knows Rick & Bubba, you know Rick and Bubba, so that is two degrees. But that was too easy!!!

Comment by Alisyn Camerota

That’s actually three degrees

 
 
Comment by Jimmy

How about you and me? Who do we have in common? :)

The really funny thing is, I win a lot of bets on stuff like this on me and the President. I met Woody Hayes (long-time coach and professor at Ohio State) when I was in college, and he knew George H. W. Bush, so we only had 3 degrees of separation.

Love your dress today, by the way.

Jimmy

Comment by Alisyn Camerota

And I’ve interviewed the former president. So we’re actually just three degrees apart.

 
 
Comment by Patricia Wolanski

My husband and I met Pope John Paul II –so we are one degree from him and only two degrees from everyone else he has met — so we are only two degrees from God — WOW!

Comment by Alisyn Camerota

You must be able to get a lot of prayers answered!

 
 
Comment by Nick Perry

I believe that more people are connected than you might believe, but every person in the world being only 6 degrees off is a big stretch. I am sure that the information comes from a reliable source like Microsoft, but I still can’t buy it. Probably what will happen is Microsoft will come out with software that one can buy to find your 6 degrees of seperation from others. So this might just be a little marketing. So lets take for example before this blog I would have been way more than 6 degrees from you Alisyn. I love your enthusiasm though and thanks for letting me wake up to Fox and Friends.

Comment by Alisyn Camerota

I’m actually starting to think it’s not as far-fetched as it sounds. Look at how many of us are just two and three degrees separated here.

 
 
Comment by DogOnCrack

This is actually a bit scary when you think about it.

 
Comment by Malone

There seems to be some disagreement about the injuries suffered by the 12 yr old girl that fell down the chimney. The AP story says she was basically unscathed. The NY Times is reporting a family friend says she is recovering from a dislocated hip and possible fractures. Other sources report that she has broken legs and a dislocated hip.
Regardless of the conflicting reports it is amazing that she survived and without life threatening injuries.
One could say she landed flat on her ash. :)

Clayton was correct about the ability of starfish to rejenerate a lost arm. A complete new starfish can be jenerated from a single arm that has a portion of the central disk attached. It is possible that Clayton actually “created” a new starfish depending on where the starfish’s arm broke off.

Comment by Alisyn Camerota

And here I was thinking he was just exhibiting cruelty to animals.

 
 
Comment by Keith Otstot

My wife and I were at a membership campground, in the Orlando area, in the swimming pool. As everyone does, we were all asking questions of each other. What kind of do unit you have, how long have you been members, where are you from, etc. The one lady was from south Florida and said, ‘My best friend is Britney Spears aunt”. Then added “That may not be something to be proud of, but her aunt is a very sweet lady”.
I guess this qualifies as a 6 degree of seperation. Have a great day Alisyn, love the show and watch as often as possible. Keith Lakeland, Fl

Comment by Alisyn Camerota

So you’re just four degrees separate from Britney!

 
 
Comment by Nick C.

Alisyn,

I think I’m 2 degrees separated from you. I once appeared on a Luntz Research focus group on Fox. I’m sure you must have interviewed Frank Luntz. Does that make me 2 degrees separated from you…and anyone else at Fox that interviewed Mr. Luntz?

–Nick

Comment by Alisyn Camerota

Thanks Nick — I read your’s on the air!

 
 
Comment by Malone

Alisyn, if you don’t count emails or text messages as a degree of seperation than you have completely discounted the entire study since it was based upon a study of text messages.

I think the original game of ’six degrees of Kevin Bacon’ was simply that any hollywood actor can be linked to Bacon thru the movies they have done. Such as trying to link Bacon and Bogart by using costars and movies.

Comment by Alisyn Camerota

I think the study is actually cheating. I always thought you had to actually meet the person — or at least talk on the phone.

 
 
Comment by ken lander

Good morning. Why is it that every democratic political expert never answers a question. They just double talk, even Ellen of the long and the short no matter what Obama says everyone misinterperts.

Comment by Alisyn Camerota

Is it possible that’s the lens through which your watching?

 
 
Comment by obo zumlaut

i have a friend, bobby rivers, who has interviewed many folks including norman mailer, liza minnelli and tom hanks. one degree of separation from many folks by virtue of him.

I defintely believe that everyone is about six degrees from each other. I also agree that I wish I knew u within one degree because u are beautiful girl!!!!

Comment by janet

Aly, why oh why are you not on weekdays at 6 anymore. It’s not the same. I hardly watch anymore before work.

Comment by Alisyn Camerota

But just think, now you can watch the weekend show every Saturday and Sunday!

 
 
Comment by Clint

Ali, Good morning fox family. You guys are GREAT!! I was the trainer and massage therapist for our womens nat soccer team during 99/00 so those girls are and were like family. Hamm,Foudy,Akers and Tony Diccio(coach) and we met Slick Willey at the White House and his subordinates in 1999 so I guess that works with the 6 degree and my college bud worked with Dole Kemp and Bush senior and George W campaign. Havea great Sunday

You’re connected to pretty much everyone in the country with that roster.

Comment by Malone

I think Griff has just opened up a new front on the Presidential campaign. Will McCain or Obama swallow a goldfish to get votes? How many strange things will they eat for people to vote for them? The polls are tied. Every vote counts. Who sits in the White House could come down to this challenge.

Comment by Alisyn Camerota

More Stupid Human Tricks next week!

 
 
Comment by jean srodes

Aly, we are now 6 degrees of separation. My son Zander Srodes, 18 is going to be on your show this a.m. from L.A. he is part of the Do Something group. Out in LA for the Teen Choice Awards. Talking about his sea turtle conservation project. I am in Southwest Florida, anxiously waiting. So now we are 6 degrees. Jean

Comment by Alisyn Camerota

Love this! We told Zander on the air! tHanks for writing.

 
 
Comment by Dale

OK, I voted for George W. (and all the Repubs) does that bring me closer than what they would like to think?

I am so funny, even this early…

Comment by chas

I’d like to know how tall you are Ms. Alisyn.

And if I may, is Fox & Friends no longer going to have someone other than the anchors do the headline news?

Comment by Alisyn Camerota

How tall do you think I am?
Do you think we should have someone else read Headlines?
Two can play at this game.

 
 
Comment by Will Penny

Ali,

Comments to the blog are impossible without saying how beautiful and charming you are. You have a remarkable presence that transends the digital divide. I absolutely love watching and listening to you in the mornings.

Does corresponding via email and blogging represent a degree? I thought the degrees involved more than electronic communication. In other words, I would have to know someone that has met Griff, for example that has met you.

Whoa! Wait a minute. It is true. I just recalled I did meet someone that knows you! Kelly Wright and his wife. Too weird. Tell us more about this.

Love ya,

Will Penny

Comment by Alisyn Camerota

I think you’re right Will. I am beautiful and charming. WAIT, that’s not what I meant! I meant, I think it does involve more than electronic communication. But Microsoft is changing the meaning.

 
 
Comment by Jim

Hi Alisyn, I understand the 6-degrees, but tracing the separation between any two people, like you and I, would be endless.

Hey, when is FOX News going HD? It’s going to be a blast watching you on HD.

Jim

Comment by Alisyn Camerota

Wait, aren’t we already in HD?

 
 
Comment by Merle NY

Good morning all!!!
I’m not sure how the degrees of separation work, but if Ali responded to 2 of my posts here does that mean I am closer than 6 degrees?????

 
Comment by Jimmy

I would like to know what degree I am from Megan Kelly. Oh, I am not a sick-o, I just think she is a very Nice looking lady, along with the other women on Fox News. My mood, attitude and humor is set by Fox and Friends every morning. Y’all are great. Keep up the good work. Also before I send this. I would like to mention that drilling offshore and other areas in the states would not only lower fuel prices, but also will create jobs and business opertunities. I am an oilfield worker of 17 years. I love the fuel prices.

God Bless,
Jimmy

Is working weekends a promotion? I am concerned by the way you guys keep changing your schedules. Now I will have to watch the weekend show.

 
Comment by Wray

I don’t know about being 6 degrees from anyone, but I would like to know who gave Microsoft permission to look at 180mil e-mails.

 
Comment by Bret Eric

foxandfriends isn’t found when searching on twitter.

 
Comment by Ted Hurlock

What exact;y does this mean? I missed the explanation.

 
Comment by Nick Perry

I would think this is all crazy talk. But I did get to sit with President Bush 41 when I was in high school.
I was heavily involved with the Teenage Republicans and was able to meet some pretty amazing people. I met Jesse Jackson too during his I am somebody, up with hope down with dope tour. So maybe I am six degrees from some people out there. I still cant believe its a 100%

 
Comment by Salvatore

Good Morning Alisyn,
talking on here should count because they looked at 30 billion emails,
so we are degrees separated?, I see you, I know you, and you know me, when you respond to my comments, so you kind of know me, right? so am I getting this right Alisyn?

Comment by Ernest

Isn’t it decieving for Obama to call the race card, he has sa much white DNA as he does black?????????????????

 
Comment by Rose

Aly, can you please post all the “Get to know your anchor” video segments on your blog or on the F&F web site, PLEASE? (Hopefully, you can get someone to get the clips for you!)

I watched a couple of them but I’d love to see them all (missed some of last Sunday’s and will have to miss part of today’s when I go to church).

Thanks!!!

 
Comment by Malone

I have met Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Dole at different campaign stops. I also met Charlton Heston several years ago when he campaigned for a the local US Rep.
And I know the guy that owned a restaurant where Pres George W Bush ate while passing thru town. So I guess that opens me to lots of political and hollywood people.

 
Comment by Melanie Starbuck

Okay, I’m confused. Are you still on F&F in the morning Monday through Friday or have you started on the Saturday edition. Please let me know. I get up early and just love the whole crew, but Monday through Friday’s group really wakes me up.

Good Morning,

I am Chad Bullock’s mom (nominated for teen choice 08). Just saw the program..So PROUD!!!

You had Cody Willard from Happy Hour, when you have one degree of seperation from the also gorgeous, lovely, and glamourous roomy Rebecca Gomez???? Where is the justice?

It actually sounds like a scientific way of justifying “name dropping” to me. The results are still the same.

Have a great day Alisyn

tell me more about this twetter

 
Comment by Jay Ziehm

Okay 6 degrees from Kevin Bacon. Try this one. Charlie Chaplin to Kevin Bacon

I look forward to hearing how these to are connected.

And I want to aplogize for all these children trying to hit on you. This should be a place for adult conversation, not a place for little boys to try to court a married woman.

And prayers have been answered on the little girl that was found. Now let’s pray that God will allow us to find Caylee.

 
Comment by David

How do we get to one degree

Cannot find foxandfriends on twitter.

 
Comment by Ed Reining

I have a one degree of seperation from Hopalong Cassidy. As a young boy sitting on an adults shoulder at the California State Fair, Hoppy road his horse over and leant over to shake my hand. I met other celebrities through my lifetime but that is the most memorial.

LOL. I am I am talking to you now… So what is that? 0 Degrees of separation, And to everyone else that commented? And remember it’s Microsoft… How many great innovations did they really make, without copying anyone else.?

Alisyn,

If I write this and you read it does that mean we only have one degree of separation?

We have 1 degree of separation; we’ve traded messages on your blog.
I like your style.

Comment by Debbie Shea

Hi Alyison

I think we are only 2 degrees apart! I was at the Jefferson awards, where Chris Wallace was the MC, and had my picture taken with him!
great to see you on F&F

Deb

 
Comment by C.W. Lange

Whoops. I’m risking a double post, I don’t know if my first one got through.

My ex used to have drinks with Neil Cavuto, which makes me…two…three?…degrees of separation from anyone who’s met Neil. I’m guessing that includes you guys. ;-)

Comment by Ron

Alisyn,
Regarding the spot on protecting our sea turtles. Just spent a week in New Smyrna (no shark bite, either), and had the opportunity during my morning walk to see a mother sea turtle make her way back to the ocean after laying her eggs.
Along with a small group of people we watched as she struggled after a long night to get back to the water. I think we all wanted to help her, but knew it was not right.
What a sight, she would take two steps, and then stop, rest and move on. Finally making the water.
Every night during this period, 4 or 5 turtles make their way to shore and lay their eggs, while volunteers mark them.
Thanks
Ron

 
Comment by Ron Ackerman

First only use my last name initial.

Three to GW and four to F&F.

1. My Wife
2. Her father went to the War College with Colin Powell
3. Colin Powel was Secretary of State with GW Bush
4. Then to you guys who I’m sure have a connection to GW

I sent a comment, but I don’t see it displayed, is it that some are not excepted????

 
Comment by Kelly Evans

Hi Ali,
I love playing six degrees of separation. Here’s my best one for you guys.

My coworker’s mother knew Mother Theresa, and last summer I met the very nice E.D. Hill at a picnic.
That means we are all going to heaven.

Hi Alisyn It could take a lifetime to be 6-degrees from anyone

 
Comment by Bret Eric

can’t find you on twitter!

 
Comment by Dale

Actually, now that I am more awake than comatose, I have thought about something about this “6 Degrees” thing.

My paternal grandfather was a “G” man back when he was a younger man.

His claim to fame (two, actually) was that, one, he grew up with “Col. Harlan Sanders.” Yep, Kentucky fried Chicken Col. Harlan Sanders.

And, two, as a G-Man, it was his honor (honor?) to escort Al Capone to jail (on a train somewhere) after Capone was convicted of tax fraud.

Or at least these were some of (among many) stories he told me. Yeah, he was pretty cool old man.

So, as far as I can figure, I am Two Degrees from each of these men in our history!

Again,

Dale

 
Comment by Kevin

When I was 12, I met Buddy Hackett and Shirley “Temple” Black. Imagine the 2nd through 6th degree I must now have, now I am getting a big head

 
 
Comment by Casey

i was switching channels this morning and got glued to the story of the guy who kidnapped and found in baltimore. well the six degree of separation is for me is in the next building where they found them. imagine sitting here watching you crossing your legs in such a erotic way showing your great curves, i am guess you are not going to share the secret on how you keep them keep them looking so great
