■ MY NICKNAME IS: Tina. Everyone in Arkansas calls me Tina.
■ MY FOUR BASSET HOUNDS ARE NAMED: Dallas, Luna, Lola and Lady.
■ AND THE TWO CATS: Big Daddy and Big Mama.
■ IN MY REFRIGERATOR YOU WILL ALWAYS FIND: I love hamburger egg rolls and you’ll always find creamer for coffee and orange juice because I drink it all day long.

■ BEHIND MY BACK, PEOPLE SAY: Probably that I am funny.
■ THE ADVICE I WOULD GIVE MY YOUNGER SELF: Don’t catastrophize so much. Don’t worry so much.
■ I WOULD DESCRIBE DAVID ARQUETTE AS: Fun. He recently purchased the rights to Bozo the Clown so I think that says everything about his spirit.
■ MY FAVORITE DAVID ARQUETTE MOVIE IS: The last “Scream” was pretty awesome but “Never Been Kissed” is really it for me. That was my generation.
■ I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE DINNER WITH: Whitney Houston. I loved her so much and I had to cover her death when I was a news reporter. That was a tough one for me because I just loved her.
■ MY BIGGEST ON-AIR FLUB WAS: They asked me to do the pig call when I was on air here and I just froze because I had all of these fans yelling at me. It was one of my first live shots and I just froze.
■ MY PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENT IS: My kids. I know everybody says that.
■ SOME OF THE BIGGEST STARS I’VE INTERVIEWED INCLUDE: Tom Cruise, Oprah [Winfrey]. I did a lot of interviews with Justin Bieber. I interviewed George Clooney.
