Rob Schmitt/ L.A. anchorman is my new crush

I didnt know this guy left Miami. He's very cute. He'll go far in LA

Whenever he comes on, I swear I get horny. Love when he does the remotes, and he's out from behind the desk, and we get the whole Schmiitt

useless without pics....nudes

Here's Rob

I was wondering why he no longer was on wplg here in miami. Surprised about the battery/domestic violence charge, he always came across as a really nice guy.

Was battery against a man, or a woman. Would tell us a lot.

Where, R4? Sitting next to you?

Meh...

Hotter than Brian Williams anyway...

Well, Miami got Jason Martinez from LA after he was forced out of KTLA on alleged assault charges.

Jeez, both Miami and LA are pretty forgiving places.

Katie Couric used to be a crime reporter in Miami.

Gio Benitez is more my taste

Schmitt is so much hotter- don't know who Benitez is

r13, Ive been watching Schmitt for a long time in Miami, he used to be even hotter. He's still cute but he looks he has alcoholic face now, downhill from here. And I know Benitez has a huge pinga.

Alcoholic face ? You're crazy ! He's gorgeous .

Pics,pics,pics please!

Deer in the headlights...

No one's got the mug shot ?

Here's a bit of a 'crotch' shot. ;) Anyone know if he's gay?

He also hangs around West Hollywood pretty often.

Well we know now he's nice and hairy.Yum

He is Persian, it seems, so hair is a given, mmm. :p

Here's the mug shot.

Would have never guessed he was persian, love those hairy legs though!

If that other mugshot link didn't work... lol.

Doesn't look Persian to me. Are you sure. Schmitt ? Sounds German

"His mug shot is so hot" = DL summed up in six words

Mmm. Gio Benitez!

There's a pic of him, face-down in bed wearing boxers out there, too.

They're both pretty dreamy.

He said something about a holiday to his fellow Persians on Facebook. I guess he might be half?

Anyone know where that boxer shot is?

I look at him, and still don't see the Persian. Must be half (his mother) cause of his last name. Whatever. He's a doll.

r32 the boxer pic was on WPLG Miami's website, they took it down when he left :(

Im glad Gio Benitez is at CBS, they are easy going and it seems like they like him.

WPLG was also where notorious anchorman Charles Perez worked. He said they fired him because of the gay.

Rob is hot. I want him in me now.

Aww, maybe someone can dig the photo up? I want to see it!

Oh, he said what he is on Facebook.

Rob Schmitt i'm half, surprises everyone, my mom's name is Farzaneh

Rob Schmitt white bread, German

So he's half German, half Persian. Mmm yum!

Didn't Charles Perez get caught in some gay breakup scandal? I think his ex-b/f posted stories about him being a cross-dresser, etc. and there was all kinds of public feuding and fighting.

Where is Perez now ? I just remember his talk show that lasted a minute in the 90's . Is he on some local station ?

Watch Schmitt every day on the news. Just to see him. F the news.

He's so easy to look at. :)

Love this man.

Since Persians are not Arabs, though many mistakenly think so, anyone have any info on average penis size ? Arabs are known to be huge, but never got the low down on Iranians. Hard to tell, looking at Rob, who's half Persian/half German. Like to think his schwantz is enormous.

In those mug shots, he looks like a much hotter, more butch Eric McCormick.

Chung Ho think man OK, but you should have love crushes on real peoples. Does not good to pretended love

Why he be mean and commit the domestic violence then buy way to innocent

How old is he?

And how tall ? Looks like he's normal sized, but you never know. Great smile. Papi likey.

Keith Jones - I miss him since he left Pittsburgh, I had to put a framed photo of him on my TV.

r49, gurl, that man has no jaw.

He's scary. Pittsburg must not be known for their anchors looks.

Where's more pics of Rob ?

R50 - that is not a very good picture of him. He is fine!

Still scares me

More Rob please

Found him this weekend. Yeah, I'll watch the news now......for him. Any shirtless pics out there of him ? Bathing suit ?

R 13 has a self taken shot of his crotch & legs. He's a hairy little half Persian.

What's the easiest way to reply to a specific post here on Datalounge? New here. Thanks

You go to ' Post A Reply' Write the message, then 'save post'

Specific post

You type the R and the number, so... R58 should work.

If not, then bracket them, haha.

There used to be a shirtless picture of Rob in a pair of boxer briefs but it was taken down after he moved to CBS. :(

Wish we could find the photo of him in boxers ;)

Someone's gotta have it - bet he's an adorable hot cub

I have no idea where the photo of him in boxers is (I remember seeing it, but it was just him in bed on his stomach), but here he is with a friend on the beach. Not hairy at all, but still hot to death.

RE 63 Thank you. I forgot- it's Arabs that are so hairy. Iranianians , not so. And he's half German. Do see a bit of fuzz on his chest though.

He's been on a lot lately- think the station knows he's popular. Would rather] look at his face everyday, than Shepard Smith, or Sue Simmons.

He looks like he belons on a soap - very Don Diamont . Is he still around ?

Don Diamont (real name, Donald Feinberg) is 50 - Rob Schmitt is 30 . DD looks good for his age, albiet with a lot of surgery, and a boatload of botox, and restalyne. But Rob is adorable.

Look what age has done to Charles Perez :(

Of course he's gay. This is Data Lounge isn't it? Everyone's gay.

RE 68 That greying goatee doesn't help . If he's anything younger than 50, he's aged terribly. Loved his blue eyes- now they look grey too.

photo of Rob

Not the photo we've been promised, R71.

Not the photo we've been promised, R71.

[quote] Hotter than Brian Williams anyway...

Not physically possible in this universe.

63, that is HOT. Thanks for the find. I bet his body is hotter now, ahaha.

I have the boxers photo, but I have no idea how to make it linkable.

PrntScrn and save? Upload to imgur.com?

He's hot

I think he's a great guy great face

Nice abs in that shot at R63.

Too bad the swimsuit is so dark - can't see his VPL.

Is he involved with his coanchor Susie Suh? He made a statement about seeing a beautifully decorated Christmas house, to which Suh said brightly, "I saw you there."

"His mug shot is so hot". Only on DL.

What r40 said!

& I remember the Miami photo of Rob "resting" on his bed in just shorts or swimsuit! Woof!

Who's hotter Rob Schmitt or Clark Gable from Cheaters?

He got Charles Perez knocked up.

He is the Hottest anchorman in U.S. hands down.

agree with R88....

He seems very unassuming and personable. Is good on Channel 9 and Channel 2 News L.A.

bump

yes, bump!

[quote]He is the Hottest anchorman in U.S. hands down.

***eye rolls***

Here's some Rob in Miami! :)

I still can't find much info regarding his assault incident.

He's certainly attractive, but not "so pretty he makes my head snap back" attractive.

on bed

I've slept with him... He's certainly not gay.

Rob's here in NYC now. Anchoring the NBC local news weekdays at noon. Very hot, but seems nervous.

I wonder which local gay newsman he's hooked up with...

Here he is, shirtless, and with possible dick hanging from his shorts, from his FB page.

Nice Saturday A.M. wakeup in NYC this morning...turned on the 9AM news to see an extraordinarily handsome young man reading me the news...whoa! Surely the best-looking newsreader in New York in ages. WELCOME, ROB! LA's loss in NYC's gain! They had him do a "stand-up" story next to a screen, talking about some fire...but I was captivated by the fire in his pants! Not mega-VPL, but we did have some VPL alright! I'll try to post this series of screengrabs I did....

Rob's been doing the weekend morning news both days this week - great way to start the day.

That suit's a little tight on him R101 - jacket's too small, but I bet he buys them tight to show off his VPL.

Rob turned 30 on Monday and tweeted this photo of himself at the roof pool of Soho House.

He needs to start hitting the gym HARD if he wants to score with the Chelsea queens.

Wow R103, he is so flabby and out of shape for a 30 year old man in media in NYC. He may be taking your advice though, since he does not look that out of shape on tv right now.

HE IS SUPER HANDSOME AND REPORTEDLY IS GAY AND LIVED WITH HIS BOYFRIEND IN MIAMI BEACH BEFORE MOVING TO NEW YORK TO HOST THE NEWS ON WNBC-4 EARLIER THIS YEAR. THE COUPLE BROKE-UP AND ROB NOW LIVES IN CHELSEA WITH HIS NEW BOYFRIEND. THEY ARE NOT MARRIED AND NEITHER ONE IS REPORTEDLY "OUT"....AS YET !

Some of the posters on this site have a habit of singling out completely ordinary-looking guys as being special in some way, when special is exactly what they aren't. Is this a revolt against all the genuinely attractive guys the internet keeps showing us with the model or porn star look? Complimenting this perfectly blah-looking character is not going to protect you from having to face the fact that you aren't Ken Ryker or Trent Reed or whoever you secretly believe is the top cat. Rob Schmitt is ordinary and you are ordinary and most of us are ordinary, and that's the real world. Live in it.

To Jason: Please tell me how you know this! Because right now I know for a fact he's living in the Financial District and is single. I really want to know if this man is gay or not though. It's a long story, but he recently asked me out on a date (I'm an attractive woman, not a man! lol), but he acted really weird.

I know Rob. Straight. Sorry, folks.

Rob Schmitt is hotter than Rob Lowe.

Sorry he is no longer on Los Angeles news. As others have posted here, would watch CBS/KCAL just to look at that beautiful man on the news and not care about the news stories.

Enjoy NYC, Rob.

bump for Rob!

rob rocks

Rob Schmidt is the Ricky Nelson of reporters.

He looks terribly uncomfortable in the WNBC Christmas video (see below), but he sure is purty.

I think Charles Perez looks terrific in that video posted above. An out elder-hottie. What was his scandal in Florida?

Rob Schmitt is hot, sexy and handsome + talented, athletic and cute.

He has been on Miami news, Los Angeles news and now New York City.

Gay or not, there seems a gay sensibility in the pics he posts - body shots, hairy legs, and his love for the good life.

I wish him well whatever his preferences are.

r84, that is a hard question to answer...

Bump!

Rob is not straight and is yet another one in the closet. Someone even made an Instagram profile to try and out him. See link.

Wish he would come out!

Raphael Miranda is out at NBC. Anyone else is out at NBC NY?

"I know Rob. Straight. Sorry, folks."

Well if he is truly NOT gay he had better start blowing some guys because without the inherent glamour of being gay in the NYC media world, he is simply another temporarily telegenic bland anchorman. Like that ex-marine Rob-something who was fired for beating his wife.

Rob Schmitt is HOT!

BUMP

Does anyone know more about this living doll? He is way too attractive to be straight IMO. Plus he seems to have a lot of male "friends."

I really want to know more about Rob .he is the hottest man on TV .I am in love! If he is gay Id love to know it and if anyone out there knows and has fooled around with him please let us know...Is he hung? good in bed?? I am seriously in love with this man!!!

When is he on?

He anchors on NBC4 at noon and on weekends mostly.

He also does general assignment reporting.

Is he gay?

I believe he's gay. I know several beautiful women he could have slept with and he didn't (after acting interested in them).

REPLY 127 IS HE GAY...ANYTHING MORE ABOUT HIM

R128, Again, I don't know for sure, but I can only guess that he is. He has not had a girlfriend in years, has led several beautiful women on and not followed through, and if you look over this thread, you'll see that someone tried to "out" him on Instagram by making a profile entitled "admityouregay." So when you combine all those things, I'd say it's a safe bet that he's really gay and just in the closet for his career.

I heard he can hide an entire beer bottle in his rectum.

R128 WHY ARE YOU SCREAMING

All I know is he is so hot I would do anything to meet him and if he was Gay Id love to have sex with him. I watch him on TV and I get nuts. He is so sexy...I wish I knew someone who had sex with him to fulfill my fantasy of knowing if he is hot in the sack

bump for Rob!

A VERY recent photo of Rob and his BF:

Rob looks so hot in that pic and if that is his boyfriend he is not hot ...def not for rob but do you know for sure its his BOY friend or just friend?? I want to be his boyfriend :) LOL I am totally crazy about Rob!!

R134, while I did say that was his boyfriend, a better term would be "fuck buddy." His REAL boyfriend is named Adam and he's vacationing in Europe with him as we speak. They go back a very long way, and he lives out in California, but they get together as much as they can. I've attached a link of a picture of them from last Halloween (Adam is the one in the white), and "admityouregay" is someone who knew the dirt on them and attempted to "out" Rob.

I just know all this from following him and word of mouth. But you're really out of luck Joebk, Rob is already juggling men, although he's had a pretty steady closeted relationship for years now that he's even kept up long distance.

Although believe me, as a straight attractive woman, NO ONE is more out of luck than me in this city, because everything as good looking as Rob (or close to it) just wants men anyway!!

This thread is a whole truckload of crazy.

Truckload of crazy, yes ... and yet strangely entertaining.

first of all.. u assholes who don't like this thread don't fucken read it and to the person who posted that pic..thanks and yea I don't have no luck with him or anyone as hot as him...:( but I can fantasize as the man is so hot. I watch him on the news and get crazy. I am so in love lust (call it what you want) with him. I will say... I tweeted him on his twitter account that he was so handsome and loved watching him and he favorite my tweet I would think a straight man would not favor a tweet where a guy calls him handsome! So yea Id say he is gay and I don't know why people want to out him. Leave the guy alone...How many guys are gay and need to stay discreet. I am one of them. If you see more pics and read more of Rob post them ...And I don't care what he is straight gay bi ..He is the hottest news anchor in NY on TV

NBC is very gay-friendly; they had their own float in the Pride parade featuring two out gay news people, Raphael Miranda and Gus Rosendale.

Why wouldn't Rob ride the float too? Because he's closeted? Don't think so...

What about Dan Mannarino, he's out. Is he coming back to WPIX? Dan and Marisol were great in the morning, yet they were fired and that fat balding slob Surkanya Krishnan remains?!

Dan is back - working as a street reporter on the 10 pm news on WPIX now.

Has Gus come out? Just because he rides on a float doesn't mean he is he is gay.

Checky Beckford what does that prove. there are some people that don't want to be involved in these things. Someone's personal life is their own business!!

Would be happy if both Rob and Gus played for our team.

Checky Beckford, yes that's EXACTLY why he wouldn't ride the float-- he's in the closet!!!! Not everyone wants to come out no matter how "gay friendly" NBC clearly is.

Joebk, if Rob was going about his life in the closet, just hooking up with men privately, you're right, that wouldn't be anybody's business. But he has messed with several girls, faking interest in them, making it like he wanted to date them, all for nothing. Gay men, even closeted ones, just shouldn't be doing this. It is wrong and a cruel thing to do to women-- give them hope that a guy this attractive wants them, when of course, he doesn't. And I agree that him "favorting" your tweet, from a man calling him "handsome," is a HUGE sign of where this guy's true sexual attraction lies.

And again, it's not just Rob. I know several gorgeous guys like this. Faking interest in women, yet are really into men.

Checky is straight. She used to work in California. She married a man there. Google her wedding announcement.

No one said she is not...We are talking about gorgeous Rob Schmitt!!!!!

Rob is on a romantic vacation with a man right now in Europe. Check his Instagram if anyone doesn't believe me.

I saw his pics on vacation but it does not show him with one guy. But I am sure he was. and if that is so the guy who he was with is one lucky man .Id give anything to be that guy and be with Rob .I am in LOVE!! :)

Rob was back last night at 11, subbing for Chuck Scarborough. He looked exhausted - that must have been some vacation! I wonder if he and his bf ever even left their hotel room...

^^Yes, that is true. And Rob was just on a vacation with one man (who he's had a long standing relationship with that he masks as a "friendship"). He just took some pictures with other men/women on the trip, but make no mistake-- he went to Europe with just one guy, one he's been seeing for years since he lived out in California (and possibly longer).

I just get so tired of all these guys who won't come out of the closet. It's pathetic how Rob calls this guy his "wingman" (see Rob's Twitter page). Meanwhile, neither one of them ever pick up a woman! It's laughable really...

The "boyfriend" appears to be a right-wing Republican. He follows Ann Coulter and Rush on Twitter and was a big Romney supporter and Obama hater.

^^ But isn't that typical of a closeted man?! Birds of feather flock together. Rob's "boyfriend" is 35-36, tall, good looking, makes money... and yet somehow he doesn't have a girlfriend either? And just he and Rob are on a romantic trip together going all over Europe, something a COUPLE would do?

I don't care what Republicans he "follows" or listens to, it is CLEAR what is going on here between these two, as someone else had previously "outed" them on Instagram as well.

Damn, Rob's Instagram is private. Would love to see the photos with the handsome boyfriend.

^^ Well, he made it private after someone tried to out him, literally making a profile entitled "admityouregay" (which you can see in the link below). You can see his long term boyfriend (which he claims is his "friend" or "wingman") in his Twitter account. He's the really tall blonde guy named Adam. Another one who is deeply in the closet with no girlfriend in YEARS.

Here are the twitter pictures of Rob and his "wingman" just being brahs on their trip to Europe

Is this a common thing for closet gay men to do... pretend they're just "bros" or whatever when they're really having sex with each other? I'm just curious because I'm a straight female and notice this trend.

Just turned on the noon news on channel 4 and Rob seems to be off today. Wasn't he just on vacation? Do we think he partied too much this weekend with his wingman?

The boyfriend re-tweeted this from Ryan Seacrest: "If you don’t do wild things while you’re young, you’ll have nothing to smile about when you’re old." #QOTD

Sounds like he and Rob will have much to smile about when they're old.

R160, that is really rich. His "wingman" re-tweeting Ryan Seacrest no less, yet ANOTHER closeted (or is it BARELY closeted?) gay!

He's pretty much out of the closet... either that or hiding in plain sight (see link).

Linky stinky, R162

Why on earth would news reporters have to stay in the closet???? And don't tell me it's because they won't get hired.

Sorry R163, I just realized not everyone can see it. Basically Rob posted the other day that he was at a "soiree" with his "sugar" (aka "boyfriend," a model/actor named Shane R Duffy). It's like he's not even hiding it anymore!!

And R164, PLENTY of people are still in the closet for that reason. Not that they won't be hired, but that they won't be taken SERIOUSLY-- especially in news. There is still stigma to being gay like it or not, and many of these closeted men do not have the COURAGE to simply come out of the closet, despite it being 2014.

He's a semi-pretty boy hairy newsreader. He's not a hard-hitting investigative reporter who breaks big stories. I don't think ANYONE takes him seriously...

Anyone who wants to see pics of Rob and Shane R. Duffy can go to Shane's Instagram page. I found a few shots of them together. He does appear to be gay but when I looked at who he follows on Twitter I'm not so sure.

R167, BOTH of these men are PRETENDING to be straight. This is a common theme amongst Rob and the men he PRETENDS to be friends with, when it is CLEAR they are more than friends (flirtatious comments, taking trips together, etc). Notice how there are no girlfriends in ANY of these men's lives (that Rob is associated with, including Rob himself, of course).

Rob anchored the 6:00 news solo tonight and will do the same at 11, with weatherqueen Raphael Miranda. Are they fucking between broadcasts?

say all you want about ROb but he is the hottest man I have ever seen. I am in love this hunk of a man..I wish he was my boyfriend suga or whatever. I wish I could find a way to meet him and get involved with him. When I see him on the news I get so hot!! I truly lust over this man! Rob if you read these its Joey! LOL

Now that hot Latin stud Tom Llamas is leaving WNBC (Friday is his last day), Rob will probably inherit Tom's 5:00 anchor slot and get even more airtime daily than he already has.

That's a good thing.

Rob at 5 and David Muir at 6:30 starting Monday - I'm gonna have to buy some more lube!

I can't believe Rob did not get Tom Llamas' spot! WTF is going on here? Rob is on so little and he is literally the best looking news anchor ALIVE!

I responded with a long message in regards to Rob's sexuality-- considering I know many that know him. But it didn't post!

Since Tom Llamas jumped to ABC looks like he's wearing a toupee.

Is Schmitt from Baastan? He pronounces his own name "Raaab Schmitt."

So, post it again Newyorker!

A lot of you want to desperately prove that Rob is gay because you want him to be gay. I was one of you and have come to realize he is straight.

First, the instagram account that a few of you kept citing (as though it was proof of anything) was actually run by me. "Admityouregay" and I know many of you will be skeptical-- so I've gone ahead and changed the profile picture to address Data lounge. I wrote several comments on his page... ranging from accusations that he was gay to asking him to address his domestic abuse history. He deleted all the comments in relation to his domestic violence case-- he didn't give a damn about the accusations that he was gay. He seems more than secure with his sexuality. And doesn't try to mask the implications that he is gay with named lovers. He brushes it off because that's what you do when you know something isn't true and it doesn't bother you.

But of course that's not all I have.

My group of friends in Florida know Rob rather well. He had his wild years down in Florida. He dated a girl named Kelley that broke up with him after she found out he cheated on her (twice) with a girl. She herself will confirm that-- she's pretty open about it. She didn't have very nice things to say about Rob. Shortly after they broke up-- she even took to her facebook to make indirect comments and post song lyrics.

To address the rumor that he is dating his friend Adam? Wrong. He has known Adam for quite some time and they are bros-bros. Have been good friends and have a circle of good friends that Rob has known since his years in Indiana. Shane-- I'll admit I do think Shane is a closet homosexual. But as far as a relationship between him and Rob? Doubt that. Shane has a few gfs that are well known on the NY scene. One of them an aspiring model that has posted a few scandalous photos of herself and Shane before. I'm not saying that all of Rob's friends are straight-- but it's unlikely that a group of men be so entirely dedicated to staying closeted in 2014 that there's no trace of it. It's not realistic. Not to mention the other men in his group of friends also give off gay vibes but many of them are just metrosexual and are either married or have been in long term committed relationships. (Part 1)

Part 2

What's more is Rob's good friend from Indiana named Bob. He is married with a child. If you look at his instagram profile Rob talks to him the same way that he does all of these other men. There is literally no difference.

Next point. How many gay men do you know that own a total of 5 or 6 t-shirts? Rob wears the same t-shirt at least twice a week. I have never heard of gay men in his position not owning more than 6 t-shirts. He also has on more than one occasion talked about how obscene it is that people spend too much money on a pair of jeans or sunglasses. Again, how many gay men that look the way Rob does have you heard say that? None of them. He might have a taste for luxury but he emulates Wolf of Wall Street Jordan Belfort. Not gay luxury.

He is currently seeing Michelle Thomson. That's his type. Blonde, curvy, barbie doll like. The previous girls he has dated have looked that way and his current interest does as well. (Link attached)

He has traveled down to Florida to see her and she comes up to NY to see him. Now I know many of you have said that Rob strings girls along to keep up the facade. But considering that he puts value in money-- would it not be easier for him to date some blonde in NY to keep up appearances? Rather than fly all the way down to FL to continue to string some girl along? Use logic and common sense.

Next, Rob is awkward and overcompensates for his dorky looks in his past. It's hard for men that looked awkward for the majority of their life to grow into good looks and know how to act. He often times appears to be acting the way he thinks he should act. I have pictures of him from high school and to say he looked like a dweeb is an understatement. It looks like Rob didn't quite fill into being himself until college and he is only 31. A lot of his friends are people he knew in high school and it's clear that he keeps that part of him close.

Next, Rob is actually quite conservative. His family members are conservative and he believes in some things that you would be surprised to learn. Not sure if this adds weight to anything but just putting it out there.

Also just the basic notations. He follows ass blogs on instagram. He writes comments on the pages of hot girls in a discreet manner. He has small habits that in all ways indicate he is straight. Almost everyone in FL has a story about Rob being a dickhead or being an asshole after he sleeps with a girl. By all accounts he doesn't seem to be a good person. But I've tried my hardest to back up the idea that he's gay-- but he's just not.

Well Newyorker, that was an enlightening read. And I think you got a lot right (Rob's conservative background, his cheapness, not being a nice person, etc). But I'll tell you right now, no one has more experience with closeted gay men than me, and I happen to know 3 gorgeous blondes that Rob faked interest in and could have slept with that he didn't!! I'm literally talking perfect 10's. NO straight guy turns down women like this.

Your point about Rob's new ruse in Florida... this is truly the OLDEST trick in the book for a closeted gay man. To answer your question of why Rob would deliberately pick a girl to "see" in Florida practically outs him in it's own right. You're telling me that a STRAIGHT man who wants REGULAR sex with an attractive girl would deliberately pick a girl who lives in another STATE?! Come on! He has his pick of ANY gorgeous girl in NY! (And again, I know several that Rob FAKED interest in and then wouldn't touch.) I actually know another closet gay guy who pulled this too... his "girlfriend" was always out of town!! And then naturally their "relationship" would end just as fast as it began. He even has a built-in excuse!! He can say the "distance" was a problem!!

Also, don't Rob's parents live in Miami now? As you mentioned he comes from an ultra conservative background... you don't think it's a coincidence that his new "girlfriend" would be living down there?

I've actually told a friend of mine a lot about Rob and the different things I've heard, and she is CERTAIN he's a closet homo like HER ex husband. I don't know if Rob will ever come out of the closet, but he is definitely not a completely STRAIGHT man. Shane is pretty flaming, and Adam... where's his girlfriend or even WIFE by now? He's quite a bit older... Why would they want to go on a romantic trip to Europe together just the two of them?

And even if Rob is not having actual gay sex with these men, he is not normal by any means with women either.

I'm just curious Newyorker, did Rob fake interest in you too and then not do anything about it? Is that why you made the "admityouregay" profile on Instagram? Because I really think you unknowingly got it right the very first time. He is just deeply repressed.

It is also worth noting that Rob DOES NOT brush off gay jokes. An attractive brunette wrote on one of his photos #homo and he deleted it! (Among other examples like this-- plus it begs the question, what does she know to make such a comment?) He also acts super defensive on the news about his masculinity and has made several comments reflecting this. Not to mention the comments and practically STALKING that other very obviously gay men have done on his photos!! I have tons of examples.

And just because Rob does not DRESS gay like that flamer, Shane (who wears scarfs around his neck in the middle of summer!), that only goes hand in hand with Rob NOT WANTING TO BE GAY. He is in the closet!!!! He does not view himself as a gay man. But he has no trouble surrounding himself with other gay men (some very flamboyant too-- look up Brett Gursky that he hangs around with in LA-- literally the GAYEST MAN EVER!). This is suspicious in itself because most straight men would not be caught DEAD in a social setting with gay men.

And you said, isn't it unlikely that in 2014 all these men are hiding in the closet? The answer is, NO it isn't! I live in New York too and I can't get over the amount of closeted gay men I've encountered (most of which have faked interest in me because I'm a very attractive woman). Remember the old saying, "birds of feather flock together"?!?!?! That is really what is going on with Rob and his "buddies." It's obvious.

But again, the biggest clue of all, and this is something I cannot believe other Data Lounger's won't agree with me on, is that gay men are FAMOUS for picking "girlfriends" who live in another state (or far away)!!!! I mean this is literally out of the closet fag playbook!! It has nothing do with Rob's "cheapness," because he was constantly going down to Miami ANYWAY (which is know as fag capital, although I have to say NY seems to be worse). I mean Rob could walk down the street outside 30 Rock RIGHT NOW and find at least TEN girls that are as attractive or MORE attractive than this girl "Michelle," yet he DELIBERATELY isn't doing it. The question is WHY? I think you know the answer.

You bring up some interesting points. I would like to provide more information but honestly I feel I would expose my identity. He never hit on me. He dated a very good friend of mine.

Let's chit chat on a different medium. Without revealing our true selves of course.

Let me know.

What medium do you suggest? I really don't want to reveal my identity either because I too am a girl Rob "dated," which is how I have this kind of information!

I just wonder, if your friend "dated" Rob, what sparked you to make the "admityouregay" profile? Clearly you (and I assume your friend?) thought he was gay at some point, or you wouldn't have made the profile...?

On tonight's 6pm broadcast, there was a story about a lot of couples getting married today, 12/13/14. They then mentioned the next time a sequence like that happened again wouldn't be until 1/2/34, and Rob finished by saying he probably wouldn't get married until then.

Rob looked more than a little worse for wear during the 11:00 broadcast tonight. I wonder if between newscasts he went and hit some of that Santacom action - seems right up his alley.

Yes R184, I caught that. So typical... His only cover is that he's a "confirmed bachelor."

He's a real Ken Doll - no thanks.

R49 I prefer Jeff Verzyla!

So is this Schmitt? He is a hot fuck.

Cute

He looks a bit cachexic, R188.

He looks hotter on TV, R191. That's a weirdly toothy photo of him.

So who's had him?

Rob Schmitt is very Hollywood handsome and is Half German / Half Italian. That is why he is so hot ! Thick, wavy jet black hair, steel blue eyes, thick eyebrows, a noble nose and chiseled cleft chin !

Rob is hot, but he either needs a closer shave or better foundation makeup. He's got a 5 o'clock shadow at noon.

Wish he would just admit he is gay and end all this mystery. I think he is hot as hell and would love to have a hot affair with him. Yea I am a guy and I lust over him!!

Well he spent New Years (yet again) with his beloved Adam! And his Florida ruse was nowhere to be seen! If he wasn't so heavily involved with another man, you might have a better shot Joe.

I can't believe you people still watch network TV news. Stuck in 1999, eh? Pathetic.

Definitely fudge packers!!

If this is what Rob is banging, screw Rob. I want Shane!

Yes, Rob certainly has good taste... But it is a safe bet they're screwing. They look like cats who ate the canary in the latest picture.

He's hot. Any nude or shirtless photos??

Gio is much hotter than this dude.

Eww--there are much hotter news guys in L.A.; Mark Mester, for instance:

Better picture of Mark:

Mark is attractive but supposed to have a very small tool.

That picture of Mark with the two women looks like one of Rob Marciano with the same two women. Hmmmm

Bump...for Mark Mester!

On the noon news today, Rob mentioned he doesn't have a Valentine's Day date. Sad sad sad.

If he came out, he'd have to beat the boys off with a stick.

Rob wore a pink shirt on-air for his Valentine's Day broadcast at 6. For the 11, he had switched to a white one.

Why does he keep missing days? I miss his hot ass!

Watching him now for the first time, thought he had gay face, looked him up. Great thread!

Any current gossip?

What makes Rob's face look "gay" is the perfection of it. Straight men do not look like this... At least not anymore.

Rob wore a pale oatmeal-colored suit the other day and when he did his standup in front of the green screen, the outline of his large dick was clearly visible hanging down his right leg. Pretty face, nice body, big dick. Who could ask for anything more?

Rob must be sucking off the right guy at NBC... The man works about 2 days a week at most!

When Thomas Roberts came on the set tonight at 6 to plug his 6:30 broadcast, he and Rob were dressed exactly alike: dark blue suit, white shirt, light blue tie, white pocket handkerchief. Thomas even said to him, I see you got the memo about wardrobe, and Rob said you mean the one that said I should dress like you.

I wonder what else they're sharing besides wardrobe? That would make one hot pair.

R217, it's so funny you mention this because my mother saw this and said the same thing! Definitely something going on between those two. Thomas Roberts is gay and married to a man, but there was a blind item recently saying that an "out" and married news anchor was caught cheating... wonder if it was with Rob! There sure was a lot of flirting going on between them.

And we all know Thomas could never keep it in his pants, even with a boyfriend (now husband) at home

Has Rob been fired from NBC? He's not been on in weeks...

Sad to say but Rob has left WNBC for a job at FOX NEWS. Maybe he's Shep Smith's new boytoy...

Yes, Rob was fired. He did not leave WNBC of his own accord.

Actually, he did, R222. His contract was up in July and when they hired Stefan Holt to anchor the new 4 pm news instead of promoting Rob off weekends, he thought it was time to not renew but look for opportunity elsewhere. He found it at FNC, where he anchors weekend afternoons from 3 - 6.

His contract was not renewed and was not going to be renewed. He was canned.

R223 & R224, you seem to know a lot about the situation... any other inside news on Rob you'd like to share? Like who his new boyfriend is perhaps? Or is it really Shep Smith?! That would certainly explain a lot!! LOL

I heard he died

When, R226?

Did anyone see Rob reporting on the hurricane in Texas? Really pathetic to see how far he's fallen. They literally only send him out in hurricanes anymore. I honestly think he wrecked his career by being another self-loathing closet case.

I remember him from NBC here in New York. Damn he was HOT!

For those girls up early, s/he is now on Fox News 4 to 6 am. Pretty hot. Off the charts handsome, extremely well dressed, in shape bod on the slender side. Straight men his age have started to let themselves go, usually they can't maintain the sexy slender bod and fantastic legs. Gay of not Gay? Still a mystery. We'd like him to be on our team. Looking at his social media seems to be in our favor, but until we have his own or a credible source, ? Hotter than Gio who is a bag of donuts away from being a porker. Hotter than Marciano and Muir. Some one in NY media knows.

He appears to have put on some weight since that mug shot. He's flabby bellied and saggy titted now. And he looks like he probably thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread.

R230, he appears to still be carrying on with the same two lovers, ex NFL player Adam & washed up "model" Shane!

He pretended to have a girlfriend in another state for 5 minutes a while back. But naturally that didn't last. And that's one of the oldest tricks in the book (the "out of town girlfriend")! But he's ALWAYS around men (particularly the same two I mentioned above)!

Rob is still Gorgeous!

I just love him - but coke, booze, douchery, and laziness appear to have taken its toll careerwise especially. Question as to whether he’s gay/bi though.

He was the weekend anchor in the local NBC affiliate in New York. Couldn't take my eyes off of him. I'd do him in a New York second.

Rob is a gorgeous man and is a 10 in my book.😚

Rob is a 10 and a DL 10!

He was an anchor at NBC News in NYC for a while, I always wondered what happened to him.

Here is his Instagram page I remember I had a big crush on him when he was on NBC tv in NY, loved his furry chest.

I remember lusting after him when he was on NBC4. Then he vanished, I never thought of him again until this thread. Out of sight, out of mind apparently. It’s fascinating how people can be like wallpaper sometimes.

Still closeted. Now descended to Newsmax.
