Who is your favorite person to follow on Twitter? I’m a big fan of @johnjayandrich because our producer NEVER tells me what’s going on our show! If I ask him who we have on or where a certain video is he says “Read our Twitter feed!”

Who do you wish was following you on Twitter? Easy answer: Ashton Kutcher, Larry Fitzgerald and Joel Osteen.

Why did you start Tweeting? My partner Rich (@richberra) told me about it years ago and said it was the next big thing. I started tweeting before I even had a Facebook.

What do you Tweet about? I try to help people with charities, church events and anything that helps people and pets. My life--literally, my everyday life. I share my life on air.Once I get off, the air the stories continue. I’m just glad people care.

What will you never Tweet about? Probably politics. There’s not much I won’t tweet about.

Where is the strangest place you have Tweeted from? My mother’s funeral (I think I was tweeting to keep my mind off of what was going on). I’ve tweeted from the bathroom, a porta-john, the gym, church, my sons’ school, getting laser hair removal, getting a colonic, getting a shot at the doctor’s, getting a prostate exam. Everywhere! 

How do you choose who you’re going to follow? I follow everyone that asks me to follow them, I also follow my friends, and general people that I think are cool.

iPhone or BlackBerry? 100 percent Blackberry!
