Q: What do the anchors do during commercial breaks?
A: On a lot of shows, talent are in the process of moving around the studio, or reading their scripts for the next segment...or discussing stories. Some of the anchors are more laid back then others...and like to use the 2 minutes to joke with each other or tease each other about something they mispronounced or said on the air.
