The chronicles of CNN's boot camp known as The VJ Program. We Peon Warriors began meeting here to share humiliating and humorous stories about early encounters with CNN anchors, directors, producers and brutal cafeteria employees. We divulged what it was like to be broke, foolish and referred to not by name but by function. And while we've moved on in life...the inner Peon still remains.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LARRY!
Cleveland, you're on the air!
Happy Birthday to everyone's favorite septugenerian and CNN legend Larry King. Not sure if the "he made a VJ pick the peanuts out of his Kung Po chicken" story is true, but when has that ever stopped me from repeating a rumor? It's good story nonetheless.
Here's wishing you many more classic moments like this one:

I wonder how that VJ worked "Larry King's Peanut Picker" into his resume.
That's almost as entertaining as the night The Godfather of Soul was a guest in Atlanta. The studio may have been on the 5th floor, but James was flying juuuuuuust a little bit higher that night. To this day, CIA and NSA cryptographers are trying to provide Burrell's an accurate transcription of the interview.
