It took a little bit of time to get to know everybody, which is just normal coming into a new place. I was incredibly excited, but I was also nervous because when I first came in, I did not know [what time] my show was going to be. I did not have a staff; we had to hire everybody.

When she anchored CNBC's morning and daytime coverage, Burnett successfully deployed a difficult combination of skills and qualities: smart but not wonky; knowledgeable but not overbearing; sexy but not disconcertingly so like Fox's army of cloned cheerleaders ; and -- perhaps most surprisingly for cable news -- she was a brunette, not blonde.
