It may be a sunny morning but turn on the TV and here comes the news shrouded in storms and torrential turbulence. That’s why, if you see a guy walking down a New York City street humming or whistling wearing a benign grin, it’s fair to guess, ‘I bet he was watching Rosanna on Good Day New York.Over 100,000 people in The Big Apple tune in with him to watch and listen to Rosanna Scotto each weekday morning, because instead of getting beaten over the head with yet more examples of people behaving badly, Rosanna keeps informing us, enticing us and enriching us with still more places to go, things to do and people to see in her beloved hometown. What’s even more winning about her consistently engaging features, stories, and conversations is that Rosanna’s curiosity remains unabated after 18 years at GDNY, a legacy made even more impressive after listening to last week’s guest on THG, Cristina Ferrare recall being abruptly from The Hallmark Channel when she was merely 62 for being “too old.”Smart, smartly tailored, and vibrantly talkative, Scotto’s guests come from sports, the arts, childcare, exercise, travel, and of course, food, In fact, a lot of food.

And some of the biggest hugs and warmest smiles come from Rosanna, who seems to be doing double duty without breaking a sweat. Still looking for someone, anyone, you can admire first thing in the morning? You can’t do much better than this New Ager making the most out of the second half of her life.On this week’s Happy Grownup podcast
