Jodi Applegate

Jodi Applegate (born May 2, 1964 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania) is an American news anchor. She formerly anchored WNYW-TV's "Good Day New York".

Applegate was raised in Moon Township, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Pittsburgh. In 1982, Applegate graduated from Moon Area High School. She then attended New York University, where she received a degree in television and film.

From 1993 to 1996, Applegate hosted "Good Morning Arizona" on KTVK. During her stay in Reno, Nevada, Applegate met and married sportscaster Rob Nikoleski;. In 1996, Applegate began anchoring "MSNBC Live" and "Weekend Today." She also filled in as a substitute host on the "Today" show. In late 1999, she hosted "Later Today" with Florence Henderson and Asha Blake. The show was canceled in 2000. In mid-2001, Applegate joined WFXT-TV in Boston. She anchored the Fox 25 morning news and also briefly anchored the short-lived 4:30 p.m. newscast.

In October 2004, Applegate left WFXT-TV for WNYW-TV in New York City where she began anchoring "Good Day New York" in 2005.

On July 27, 2006, Applegate hosted a segment of the Fox 5 show with guests Casey and Van Neistat, film-maker brothers, who were supposed to be demonstrating how to steal a bicycle in support of a video they made. During the demonstration of a "very dangerous" angle grinder to cut a heavy chain, Casey made it appear as if his brother had cut his throat (using ketchup and yelling excitedly). Applegate angrily scolded the two for perpetrating a prank on live TV.

In August 2007, Jodi appeared in the September 2007 issue of "More Magazine" in a feature on "Portraits of 40+ Style." [http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=60684&op=1&view=user&subj=505518066&id=505518066 Dead link|date=May 2008]
