Fox 29 Good Day Philadelphia cohost

ALEX HOLLEY talks secrets of the anchor desk, Patti Labelle, and why you’ll find her at spots like Spruce Street Harbor Park all summer long. Proudest moment: Surviving a constant 20-hour broadcast in celebration of Good Day Philadelphia’s 20th anniversary. Viewers, friends, and colleagues stopped by the station, even in the middle of the night, to drop off food and say hello. Philadelphia is so…: Philadelphians are so passionate about everything that is important to them, from sports to music to favorite TV personalities! Famous Philadelphian you most want to have dinner with: Patti Labelle, because hopefully she would cook. Patti, if you’re reading this I’m ready for my invite! I’ll bring a salad. Summer in the city: After surviving the winter months here, this Southern girl loves to be outside: The Dell Summer Music Series, Smooth Jazz Summer Nights Series, Wawa Welcome America July 4th, Made in America. One thing people would be surprised to know about you: I wear sweatpants under my dress when I’m anchoring the news, because it’s so cold. Oh, the things they can’t see when you’re sitting at the anchor desk! Favorite Philly hangouts: Bok Bar, One Liberty Observation Deck--any rooftop or elevated place where I can clearly catch a glimpse of the Philly skyline.
