Deborah Norville, Dalton native and University of Georgia graduate, celebrated her 20th anniversary at syndicated newsmagazine "Inside Edition" this week.
Her show airs locally on WGCL-TV at 7 p.m.
Last night, the show aired a video that showed clips of Norville over the past two decades, showing off her many hairstyles.
She played with penguins, flew Frontier as a flight attendant, met George Clooney, visited a nuclear submarine and flew on an F16 fighter jet. She recounted her interviews with Paula Jones, who accused President Clinton of sexual harassment and Howard Stern. She attended the funeral of Pope John Paul II and the marriage of Kate Middleton to Prince Harry. She did her show even after having her baby from the hospital room. She picked up rhino poop. She sold peanuts, took tolls and recorded a music video. She got to read her children's book at the White House and interview Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama.
She also featured J.R. Martinez, also from Dalton, a veteran who was a soap star and "Dancing With the Stars" winner. And she gave an ode to her dear pal, the late Joan Rivers.
When I spoke with her last fall, she said she didn't want to make the anniversary a big deal. "I'm so uncomfortable with the idea of being feted," she said.
Yesterday, the crew ended the show with a marching band and confetti.
