David Muir gets cunty in off-air, behind-the-scenes video

Wonder if she acted like that with Peter Jennings?

Yassss David, get your minions in line, you da head bitch!

Actually, he might be giving J. Savitch a run for her money. These line up pretty well. David:

Jessica:

He's sweatin' like a whore in church! And he has major dry mouth.

Someone should've thrown a glass of water in his face to cool him off.

Oh, David Tyler Muir....

OP, you have a pretty mild idea of what constitutes "cunty." There isn't anything diva-esque in those clips, nothing at all that matches Savitch.

He is just being professional. I wonder if people like the OP are the same ones who cry at my workplace?

Jessica was more masculine.

Cunty? No

[quote]He is just being professional.

Being whiny and demanding is not at all professional, especially for a man.

He's so hot!

When he asks for a towel, there are flames, FLAMES on the side of his face!

I like him better cunty.

Huh? It was obviously hot, asked for a towel and said thank you. Said thank you again later on. How is this behaviour cunty?

OP is the cunt.

As a print journalism major, luckily, I don't have the pleasure of working with broadcast "journalism" talent often. When I did frequently, it was a diva horror story, the men as bad as the women.

Muir was a dream to work with, compared with many of those I work(ed) with, who weren't nearly as well-known.

DL fave, queen Adam Joseph thinks he's an expert on lighting, but always complains when his lighting and (heavy) makeup aren't to his liking--which he's invariably dictated in advance.

Trust me, Muir is no diva about makeup. He actually looks better without it, as you see on the field.

I'm sure your wise choice to get a "print journalism" degree prepared you well for your cashier job at Wal-Mart, R16.

R17 = OP, pissed that this thread is not going the way he intended.

The clip is cued to halfway through the video for some reason.

His numerous Mary! moments are fun to watch from the beginning.

HIs boyfriend is a bitchy queen, too.

National newsreaders are performers who have been vetted by the federal intelligence agencies to report on the powerful in accordance with the needs of the powerful, many of whom live and operate all but invisibly as far as the general public is concerned. This man either is or will soon become a member of the CFR or some such. He is in the pockets of those he reports on. He is selling us on the legitimacy of Jeb! Bush the way Nancy Walker sold us on the desirability of Bounty paper towels. He has the act down pat and you know he'd sell his soul to get the gig.

Thanks, Pauline/R21. Let us know when the shuttle lands.

[quote]Let us know when the shuttle lands.

Will do. Let us know when man really does go to the moon, Matt Mason.

He has a face like a horse. It's all long. I keep waiting for him to say "Willlllburrrr"

I'm voting Not Cunty.

The other side of David Muir what a cunt...a male bitchy mood bastard. NOT a happy dude...misses GIO ;O LOL

Smile David it's not that bad you're fucking making $5M a year BITCH! YOU NEED TO GET LAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have more respect for David after seeing that video. He's professional and serious and the exact opposite of cunty.

Am I sweating guysssss? Can I have a tow-el?

I laugh at most of the comments thrown his way here but in all honesty, he was most likely just frustrated that his staff was unprepared and he just wanted to get through the apparently hot-assed day. I wonder where he was on location; it DID appear hot as balls, and I'm sure he couldn't wait to rip off that jacket & take a cold shower. Any of us would be impatient as f (or worse) in the same situation.

Still, was a fun watch.

And don't worry David, your hair still looked great!

There's nothing that bad or unlikeable about David in this video and I'm not a fan at all. The crew are the ones repeatedly fucking up and he's being polite as he possibly can. The only funny or interesting thing about this video is his off air femme mannerisms and gay voice. Just come out already David.

He seemed to know his shit pretty well. Seems like he was more professional than the crew.

David has a huge cock.

I don't mean to give any special break but I get why news anchors for a major network have to be completely "non-political."

And like it or not, coming out is seen as a political statement. We all know they're gay Republicans--many post on DL--but being openly gay seems, to the general public, to be making a statement.

David Muir is as close to open as a male anchor for the "Nightly News" can be now.

He doesn't beard--unlike that "little queen" who wanted his job.

I'm not embarrassed for or resentful of David Muir at all. I don't think he's ashamed of being gay; neither is Gio Benitiez. It's about looking professional.

Damn! Damn! Damn! I thought I'd be the last person to defend the closet.

But Barbara Walters (also, mostly ABC) bearded for, and continues to defend, the most evil closet case ever: her beloved fiance Roy Cohn. When Baba Wawa comes clean, and ABC admits to their complicity in the lie, then I'll put David Muir on the griddle.

I like that Muir is bitchy. Scott is dry as the desert. Lester puts me to sleep.

[quote]But Barbara Walters (also, mostly ABC)..

Before someone corrects me, I'm well aware of the Today show on NBC.

But anyone born after, say, 1970, would associate her with ABC.

Wake me when Muir matches this.

At least he didn't lie about having cancer.

Della!!

That was hilarious. I ♡ U.

Haven't seen you in a while but I'm not around as much as I once was. Work and all. My bf has a son--5-years-old--so that's all new. Great, but new to me. (I never thought raising a kid would be in my future. )

I'm trying to buy him TB pajamas Now, Della, you remember me. I was shocked by you. No matter, TB is all but cleared and TB pajamas are sold out!

Love ya, stay around.

PCMA

Smooooooches, PCMA at r39.

I am not a fan, he wasn't being cunty but he did let his rainbow flag fly.

Sweaty David would be nice.

10 on-air news meltdowns. Funny stuff.

I agree, though, Sue Simmons was hilarious!

What am I missing? Where is he acting up? Give me a time stamp from the video? I don't see it.

C'mon, he was a little "special snowflake" in that clip. Would hate to work with him.

Says please and thank you a lot. The opposite of cunty. OP is the right cunt

The number of posters saying he was not cunty is not surprising, most of you are cunty queens on your jobs as well.

Seriously, where is he being a cunt? Time stamp please, I honestly don't see it.

I just imagined myself being just below the camera blowing David!

What cunts here! All of you have too much time sitting at your keyboards, I say from here in my office, and what he does none of you have the ability or talent to do the job Muir does. He is good at his job. Deal with it. Not cunty, not a sissy, just younger -- how that must hurt -- and better at things than you are.

Met him once in studio. Tall, very pleasant and professional, and his crotch is astounding. Whatever is in there looks substantial.

What a phony business. I majored in TV journalism and could not stand the ridiculousness of the happy talk and especially the local news which is undoubtedly where I would have started and probably stayed. The worst!!

David is no Jessica and never will be. Jessica had a point when she politely and firmly told the crew to get it together.

He's not very good. Thomas Roberts has it all over him and TR is actually handsome and well built. DTM is a light weight and a nothing.

R31 must be Muir. I can't imagine anyone else being so invested and angry over this.

Savitch would have gotten a pen and marked those pages herself. She certainly wouldn't have stood there wasting time making sure numbered was perfectly enunciated to the staff. And what's with the standing around shuffling your feet? Women get called bitches for far more professional behavior.

Sorry, I mean the peach at R50. Hi Mr. Muir!

He seems very professional in the clip.

Contemporary society has such a hard on for the word professional.

God, a closeted albino turd named Anderson Cooper was worshipped here on DL for 10+ years. When the Vanderbilt heiress deigned to come out, it still got praise here.

David Muir has been out to his friends, and to ABC, through his entire network career. Never bearded, never lied like AC.

But the cunts here eat him alive. How is that? Why so much love for AC and so little for Muir?

I realize the vicious DLers don't come close to representing the "gay community" as a whole, but you still might hope even the most bitter, nasty failures on DL would find some pride in DM's success.

[quote]Why so much love for AC and so little for Muir?

Muir is a closet case. "Out to your friends" is not "out" when one is a public figure. Who can respect such cowardice and falsehood in the year 2015?

Who can respect such cowardice and falsehood when your (theoertical) grandchildren need not work? Rich beyond imagination and still a little frightened mama's boy...Pathetic.

I'm confused, R61. You think AC being closeted was pathetic but you defend David Muir being closeted. What accounts for such selective outrage?

I couldn't work for him, he's a total control freak, talks very condescending to the people working around him and has 'gay voice' when not speaking on camera.

DTM is just a more successful Anderson Cooper. DTM is no more out than AC was. He is strategically glass closeted. My only concern is that people who treat their staff badly are usually not good people. You can tell he was just one sweat rag away from an all out diva fit.

"What accounts for such selective outrage?"

I wonder.

Reading comprehension problems?

His only job is to tell you the news... he doesn't need to tell the world he is gay. Apparently after you reach a certain salary you seem to be obligated to disclose your personal information on this site? You queens sucked too much cock in your young age and left you brain damaged :(

AC reads the news better and with AC's muscles, he could whip DTM in a rasslin' match.

Watched the whole thing and he seemed a total pro. The only time he bordered on cunty was at the beginning when he let some irritation creep into his voice regarding the page numbering.

[quote]His only job is to tell you the news... he doesn't need to tell the world he is gay.

Part of that job is maintaining an aura of credibility and trust. Closet cases are dishonest. Who can trust a liar?

He's pissed off because Andrew Roberts stole his title as first openly gay achor of a national nightly news show. This is what happens when you're a closet case, you take your bitterness out on everyone else.

[quote]You queens sucked too much cock in your young age and left you brain damaged :(

lmao. Anderson Cooper was only worshiped by a handful of basket cases here, and after he came out his popularity plummeted. He only got attention after coming out when his man was caught doing dirty stuff in public.

I like DTM for representing for the sistas and all dat. But these queens are all huge divas behind the scenes. Anderson Cooper, Gio Benitez, Don Lemon, Thomas Roberts, Shepard Smith. All the people that work with these guys likely dread having to deal with their egos. You know how gay men act once they get their status and start pulling in some major coins.

[quote]You queens sucked too much cock in your young age and left you brain damaged

You are the one who posted earlier about fantasizing about blowing Muir behind his desk. F&F for the self-loathing cocksucker.

R72 What!? I am not self-loathing. I only question why you guys insist that DTM comes out when it has nothing to do with his career. He is not a politician or policy maker. He just reads news from a teleprompter or w/e. The you suck too much suck line was for dramatic effect, I love sucking cock too (albeit not so much that it is damaging)! Can we kiss and make up?

R73, news readers are presumably truth tellers. Passing for straight is dishonest. We live in an increasingly dishonest society and having a passel of proven liars deliver the news is more than some of us wish to accept.

But you are forgiven for your crass cock-sucking comments.

Muir doesn't seem cunty - he seems like a stressed perfectionist. Remember that all those people off screen aren't the ones with egg on their face when shit goes wrong. Muir is the one front and center. So if he is covered with sweat, or screws up his news reading because the staff didn't get the copy to him in a timely organized manner, it is his ass that is on the line not theirs. So I would be a little sharp and demanding too - but he seems insecure and needy and looks as if he doesn't have a good support system from his co-workers.

I could never imagine Thomas Roberts being that rude and cunty to his staff. As my Grandmere used to say, breeding will tell.

I don't live in the US and really don't know the guy's work, but the clips show a consummate professional on the job.

It's funny that anyone would think he's being "cunty".

I'm surprised ABC news doesn't have a make-up person on hand to take care of the sweating. It's national television.

Can the "He's just being professional!" queens and fraus just fuck off already? Muir is a bitchy little queen, but that's okay. You can stop defending him, he's never going to let you blow him.

While David Miur is anchoring the ABC News, R78 is watching it from his mothers living room.

If it makes you feel better about yourself to think that, r79.

He's a bitchy perfectionist and control freak who is more worried about how he sounds and looks than really reporting the news. I dislike the way he speaks to his staff, very contemptible.

[quote] He is just being professional. I wonder if people like the OP are the same ones who cry at my workplace?

LOL. Agreed. Today, simply expecting everyone to show up and be prepared is grounds for a hostile work environment lawsuit.

There needs to be a corollary to Godwin's Law where any tedious dull-wit who accuses another poster of living in his mother's basement is automatically declared the loser of the argument.

So was David really upset when Gio dumped him for Tommy, anyone know the details of what happened? They were such a hot couple.

Were they actually a couple...or just two gay pals? Not all gay guys date or fuck each other.

[quote]Not all gay guys date or fuck each other.

True, but a rarity. I honestly dont think they hooked up. All jokes aside, they both are extremely driven guys and likely value career over all else, so dating a coworker is out of the question for either. But that doesn't mean David is not a little jealous of Gio. David used to be the young one with great potential and now its Gio. Its hard when you realize you are getting old. Gio represents the new school of gays that just live their lives openly, while David likely spendt years hiding. David must feel some type of way that young Gio is flaunting his hot boy while rising in the ranks at the same damn time.

Not cunty but if you put some short shorts on him and gave him a perm he'd be gayer than Richard Simmons.

I hope someone gives him a fuck her right in the pussy someday.

Chances are he hasn't seen pussy since his mama pushed him out.

[quote]news readers are presumably truth tellers.

So I've heard.

HILARIOUS how David switches to gayvoice each time it's off-camera and then switches it off when the camera is rolling. Gurl we HEAR you! You're as straight as Anderson.

OP, you're the cunty one. Your clip showed professionalism. As the face and voice of the broastcast he has a team to assist him get a job done. He was courteous.

Bump and sweat.

Jeez, if he's that insecure, he probably apologized to the staff off-camera for being snappy even though it wasn't even shown (well, publicly).

Such a kween.

Why does he speak through the side of his mouth? He looks like pitbull, ridiculous.

[quote]AC reads the news better

AC has giggle-fits like a 14-year-old school girl.

The only bitchy thing I saw was when he was like, "I don't know!" Whatever the..." or something like that.

Didn't seem at all cunty to me but I was surprised (very surprised) at the ultra sissy voice he has when not on air. Time to COME OUT Davey!

I saw no vaginescence.

And points go to R83. I nominate "off your meds," as well.

No way is this queen a top.

He was wearing his mother's panties by age three. Zero doubt about that.

I want to feel his bulge.

[quote]He just reads news from a teleprompter or w/e.

Except, not. The anchors of the network evening news are much like a newspaper editor in chief. They have considerable control over what makes it on air, and the tone of the broadcast.

I don't think he was cunty. But he sure as hell was gay.

Still, I think it may be too much to expect a national news anchor to come out at this point (a correspondent, yes).

I cannot believe he is only 5'10", he looks taller.

R104 Except Thomas Roberts is out.

Gay gay gay gay gay!

And through 1:10, worse lip-smacking dry coke mouth than Jessica Savitch ever exhibited.

DTM is really one 5 feet tall with 10 inches of hair.

[quote]HILARIOUS how David switches to gayvoice each time it's off-camera and then switches it off when the camera is rolling. Gurl we HEAR you! You're as straight as Anderson.

Gurl yes, he is like a well trained actress! David, you are quite amazing

I can't stand him as a news reader. I do find him incredibly attractive. Though he does have that bad news vibe going on around him. Even knowing he makes a huge salary, if I ever brought him home I'd still feel like I had to hide my small electronic devices and small change.

"The pages are going to need to be numbered" KAHWEEN!

None of you have any idea! At least get him a FAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

He's being a little bitchy when he's asking for the pages to be numbered, but you can tell he's overheated and sweating and unhappy--it doesn't seem like he's always that way.

I love the sad widdle girl voice he uses when he asks for the towel! LOL

[quote]Even knowing he makes a huge salary, if I ever brought him home I'd still feel like I had to hide my small electronic devices and small change.

lol, why do you say that?

David truly out-queen'd himself.

R113, so true about the towel! He certainly doesn't seem very authoritative.

I say that, and I could be wrong I'm to lazy to Googie him, but he has the drive and eager to please look of a childhood in poverty. They never really get over their stinky fingers stage. He looks like he'd shank you for a cigarette or rob your 401K if he needed to.

I wish he would wear a tie - this jacket and sans tie look is so fucking played out...

Those arms though

I don't even know what this occasion is...

That picture just set my computer on fire.

Does anyone have a link to the video of DTM reading the news as a high schooler or college student? Gay voice for days!

Meanwhile, back in the day:

Weird, how camera angle makes a huge different, handsome in R118 hot in R119 and not hot in R120

Two - count 'em TWO - DL FAVES together!

Dapper:

Cap and Gown:

Everything looks better in black and white:

Oops sorry ^

Does he make the ladies moist or are they aware?

Hands on:

Man of the Earth:

Sweaty:

The Right-hand Man:

R130: Yes and yes.

And then there's the Disciple:

R133 Sweaty and so gay! There should be more stories of running into him queening it up all over the place.

[quote]He doesn't beard--unlike that "little queen" who wanted his job.

Who was that? George Stephanopoulos? Dan Harris?

Anyone have any photos of his sweaty feats?

He really is hot. But like I say underneath the hotness I suspect damaged goods.

Not especially "cunty". A bit sharp tongued and crisp but he's doing live TV. No time for leisurely niceness.

Pings...a lot.

R29 'And that towel better be a chilled eucalyptus one at that!'

Was that a recent video? It must be uncomfortable to do live footage in the summer heat with make up and a suit on. I think the perceived cuntiness is him being uncomfortable plus a bit vexed at assistants.

How no idea what big of a queen he was, has his gay voice ever slipped out while live?

I'm a regular viewer of both ABC Nightly News and 20/20, and I've never heard the gay voice before. Jeez, come out already! It must be exhausting to go back and forth.

I can just see it R145. One day he will slip in one of those off air/on air mistakes reporters do and it won't be pretty :P. Just like the lady at R37, just a gayer version.

I wonder if he actually spent money on elocution lessons. If he did it was well worth it, he sounds real butch on air. I wonder if he'll let his inner sista out on air if he decides to leave the closet

I just wish Walter Conkite would come back from the dead.

Will he be anchoring all of ABC's election coverage next year? Because that could lead to a classic meltdown, like when his predecessor was drunk.

Not the entire legendary clip of David as a youngling at IthacaCollege, but here's a snippet of it:

WABC Insider, any truth to the rumor that David Muir and Peter Jenniings were closet cross dressers and that's why they got together at the Empire Hotel?

He does not have an old school newsman vibe that I get watching Lester Holt and Scott Pelley. All he has going for him is looks, Muir seems two steps shy of being a diva, it was not secret that he wanted Diane Sawyer's job and I heard from people who use to work at ABC that he is kind of bitchy.

The fake, non-sissy voice he uses on air makes him sounds like his nose is plugged up. Come on out David....you will be alright.

If David Muir is gay, do you think Perter Jennings knew it?

[quote]He does not have an old school newsman vibe that I get watching Lester Holt and Scott Pelley

Yeah, that's because he's not OLD! David is young and hot which is what the viewers want hunny!

R,155 if you want young and hot then look at male models and porn stars, they are a dime a dozen, I don't want a model to read me the news.

Maybe David will transition next? His real speaking voice is more femme than Caitlyn's.

Go David

Lol if he's straight, lol, there's nothing unsexier than a straight guy with a high pitched queeny voice.

What r30 said. What a tedious job. He's trying his best not to go all Jane Craig on the crew but the least they can do is number the pages of the script. He looks so much better without make-up. Quite handsome. No way did that clip live up to the cuntastrophy promised by the OP. OP is the Donald Trump of D.L. I'll take Muir over the Albino Vampire Bat any day.

How do I make R158 go away!? This gayling can't handle vaginas... yuck!

He's so precise with the switching on and off of his gayvoice! What vocal command he has. His off-camera aka natural/real voice is hilariously kweeny.

Ku ku kween!

Does anyone else notice at around the 2:56 mark he seems to step off an apple box, a curb or something? I guess they adjusted his height for the camera...I don't know much about this line of work but I thought it would just be easier to lower the camera instead of standing him up on a higher surface?

That photo at R140 has been proven to be photoshopped.

Here is the closest we'll get to a Muir shirtless shot - from last summer's Ice bucket challenge. Not only is David smooth as a baby's ass (probably spends hours getting himself waxed and enjoying the sensation), his titties are nearly as suckable as Gio Benitez's - and look at the size of those beautiful nipples!

What straight man looks like that under their suit?

And as for a beard, David was often seen at social events with his "steady", GMA weathergirl Ginger Zee, until she met a REAL man and married him last summer.

What R10 said.

David Muir was Eve Harrington to Peter Jennings' Margo Channing. He'd do anything to get where he is today. And did! The question is what he did with Peter?

If Peter Jennings was 100% hetero, what could he have seen in David Muir to take take "under his wing"?

What the fuck happened to the JC James thread?!!!

Yes, why did Muriel shut down the thread on the good doctor?

Get off my thread Dr. James (and the rest of you narcissistic pretty boys)! There is only room for ONE here...

I want to suck on your nipples Mr. Muir while you whisper your dreams in my ear.

What a prissy queen.

I expected a real meltdown, but that clip didn't show him acting obnoxiously or excessively mean and nasty.

Yes, definitely a misleading headline on this thread. I was expecting to see him in full blown diva mode when I saw the headline.

Nothing cunty, or even even excessively demanding. Hes asking people to do their jobs properly. He even says thank you when they give him the towel.

I wonder how he asked Peter Jennings for a towel after they showered together?

[quote]I don't want a model to read me the news.

Then go watch an old fuck read you the news. God knows there are plenty.

Is ABC the only channel you receive? You need to adjust your rabbit ears.

What about Phillip Mena?

Why do some people who've had nose jobs always sound congested?

[quote]Except Thomas Roberts is out.

And Thomas "Grindr" Roberts isn't the anchor of a major network evening news broadcast. He filled in 1 (one) time recently on a Sunday night on NBC.

Male DIVAS at ABC!

Lol everyone wants to go to Cuba now.

I want to see the leaked tape of those two queens fighting it out.

They should have just sent Gio over there since it would be neutral. And yes, I said that because he's Cuban. But, it would be his biggest story to date. Give him the young buck more opportunities!

*Give the young buck more opportunities, I sometimes wonder if English is my first language after all...

I can believe that there is tension between David and George.

David Muir is very ambitious and zealous and he was always after Diane Sawyer's job. In broadcast media, seniority tends to overule and ABC basically worships George but I always believe that evening news anchor was a bigger deal to doing a morning show program.

Anyone have a new link? "ABC" had the video taken down.

I agree with r184. George needs to sit is old frog looking-ass down and David needs to stop being a huge egotistical cunt.

[quote] Yes, why did Muriel shut down the thread on the good doctor?

Cuz we don't fucking care!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From Friday's GMA - David and the Gun Show (and that skank, Lara). Does David overdo his arm work to compensate for his oversize suckable nipples and/or his undersize cock?

Gurrrl, I am sad to report from the Gio & Tommy thread that more evidence is building in favor of David Tyler being a HUGE BITCH.

Those peons at ABC better have David's shit together, he is going have their heads roll out the closest door!

I'd much rather tongue Thomas Robert's sweet asshole any day!

Well, we know now that Michael K is a DLer.

R193 that last paragraph gave me a good laugh. What a mess this is turning out to be.

Flee the country for now, David, but come back to us!

[quote]David Muir, the Disney prince who left the Magic Kingdom to run off to NYC to become a TV journalist,

What a perfect description of this guy

Is David heading towards the much feared Mid-life Crisis?

[quote]David Muir, the Disney prince who left the Magic Kingdom to run off to NYC to become a TV journalist,

You can always trust Michael K to get to the gist of the matter. Because really, he manages to encapsulate this thread and our feelings about David Muir in a brief paragraph (deny it if you must):

[quote]If there’s an ounce of truth to this, it’s really not nice of Dreamboat David to take it out on the crew. David, who is reportedly a resident of the glass closet, should take out his frustrations by yelling at me. I can take it. But if David’s going to yell at me, he needs to take off his clothes, because I don’t want him to get all overheated, pass out and hit his head on the floor. David may pass out anyway, so after he takes off his clothes, he should lay down on me to be safe. Then he can yell all he wants. Scream at me, take it out on me, Anchor Monster!

See what power and a $5M a year salary do to you

[quote] Weird, how camera angle makes a huge different, handsome in [R118] hot in [R119] and not hot in [R120]

"Camera angle"??

Mary, more like RHINOPLASTY!!

He also had just worked out or done whatever he had to do at the event.

This is what happens when you're over 40 and still in the closet. The inner anguish and self-loathing has to have an escape valve, so you take it out on everyone around you. Come out, David, you'll feel so much better, and once you're honest about who you are, your audience will like you more.

Uh, no, Anderson @R201. I didn't have money growing up.

R133, R200 you know, he probably looks a lot like this after a marathon session of....

R201 true no closeted male should be in the closet at 40 WTF he'll be 41 in the fall ...it's called inner suffering ...release it David and come out!!! I get a boy friend already!

David seems like a workaholic, which is will make you act like this. Add the closet and you certainly will have a monster. I hope he can get it together.

I think he'll actually be 42-3, not sure if that makes this worse or not...

There's nothing wrong with being 40 and working so hard you just don't have time to date.

Words of advice David: Work isn't everything as you signed a $5M contract for 5 years with ABC so all work no play will make David a closeted angry monster even more! So come out and play before you reach your peak ;O and get laid more!

David is awesome.

Does anyone think David Muir would ever actually come out? I mean before he gets old and gray and/or his career is over.

I've always thought maybe he'd do it if his ratings really started tanking badly enough and he wanted to draw some attention his way (in other words, for all the same reasons many others do it).

Come out come out David, we'll love you even more!

Conducting a good and effective interview is much much HARDER than many people realise...

...especially when you have to do it in front of the camera:

David should post more on Instagram like the dude that seduced and used him to get head ooops ahead at ABC ~ Gio...you need more followers David and find a BF to take your edge off and just lighten up...we still love ya ;)

I saw part of the news tonight and David seemed sad and subdued.

I think he went into this with unrealistic expectations--about ratings, about being able to come out--asom of which were encouraged by ABC.

And, yes, he needs to spend the weekend in bed getting repeated good, long, borderline rough fucks, one right after the other.

Gio, how about helping an old friend out?

No wonder he sweats like a pig with all that chest hair.

R211 I wonder what he's thinking (if anything) in that photo...

R215 getting, or giving them?

asom of which = some of which

My phone's creative.

R217 Well, both if he's versatile, but right now I think he just needs someone like Gio to take control, strip off his clothes, throw him on the bed, and fuck all the tension out of him.

The chest hair photo is a famous 'shop. As we all saw when David did the ice bucket challenge, he's smooth as a baby's bottom with sweet suckablle titties and huge, delicious nipplage...

Well we know those titties are cold and not getting sucked on, with the way he's been acting out.

Muir is all about his image, he is typical cocky man that you see walking down Madison Ave thinking that he is a big shot. He also does not a newsman aura, he has more a corporate salesman persona.

Lester Holt has a newsman persona and carries himself very Presidential. He conveys more trust and calm then David Muir.

Am I the only one who does not find this guy attractive? That long horse face is just awful.

damn r221 & r222. Yall must be David rejects. Tell us how you really feel!

He looks like Seabiscuit

r223 How could I get rejected by someone I would never even go after in the first place?

R,223--I am a news junkie and watch both three evening newscasts. Muir has been upset cause his ratings have been horrible despite his big interviews.

I am saying outfront that David Muir does not have the right delivery for evening news. He looks good but evening news is not a beauty contest.

Lester Holt is killing in the ratings cause he has the right appeal for evening news he carries himself Presidential and more importantly there has not been any dirt about him and has a reputation for being the nicest guy in news business.

I agree that he needs to get laid more as his sex life is non-existant from what I hear...

If true, I would think that's because he's probably laser-focused on his career. He probably needs to try to find a balance, then maybe he'd be happier (as would those who have to work with him).

I definitely prefer down-to-earth Lester over David. Something about David just screams famewhore.

R229, It was well known behind the scenes at ABC according to sources that David is ambitious and wanted Diane Sawyer's job as evening news anchor at ABC. He felt that he was the natural successor for the job if she were to step down. Yeah basically a famewhore who wanted the job for his own ego.

At NBC behind the scenes, according to sources, Lester is highly valued and staffers love him and he never wanted Brian Williams job but he was getting tired of weekend duties for 12 years and thought about stepping down from NBC.

I realize this is the David Muir thread but any gossip on Dan Harris? He's always been a hot little fuck, though I do think he's not as hot now as he used to be.

And can't believe no guy is getting the pleasure of Rob Marciano's ginormous (but gorgeous) ass. Talk about a waste.

Rob Marciano is hot all over but he's a douchebag.

R232, how so?

I don't think Lester is good looking enough to be one of the big 3 anchors.

R230 Well, why else does anyone want a particular job? Honestly, some of you are just reaching....

Well, aren't you bitches who defended this cunt through the entire thread embarrassed now!

R234 Sadly for you America disagrees - there's a reason Lester's news program is the highest rated and has the most viewers.

R234. I don't know what rock you have been living under but a lot of women love Lester Holt and think he is very handsome and guys like Lester Holt and see him as a real man's man.

Can't say that for David Muir.

[quote]I don't think Lester is good looking enough to be one of the big 3 anchors.

Yea, because Cronkite, Huntley, Reasoner, McNeil, Lehrer and all of the other iconic anchors were such lookers. 99% of the Ken dolls toiling at the affiliates rarely make it to the networks - their career pinnacle is reading the local 11 o'clock news sitting next to a pretty young newsreader half his age. Peter Jennings and Brian Williams are the only two exceptions and Jennings was a real journalist. People want gravitas, trustworthiness and confidence, not a pretty face. It's why Holt is doing just fine.

R239, never thought Brian Williams was that good looking, the two sides of his face had no symmetry and he had sad looking eyes. You are right about pretty boys not making it, I rarely see model looking newsman make it to the big time. Majority of the big time anchors male/female did not look like models in catalogs.

It is also about pereception, guys can connect to Lester cause he does not seem like a man preoccupied with himself and his looks. He has never carried himself like a diva and became enthralled with the glitz of the business. Lester Holt has a mature handsomeness and wisdom about him that people naturally gravitate too and people see him a genuine person. If a tragedy were to occur who would you turn to be informed and keep a mass audience calm during an emergency.

I can't imagine a average joe wanting to watch a pretty boy tell him the news. Average men generally have a instint distrust towards pretty boys.

Muir would have been a great anchor in about ten years. I find him really hot now but with some age and seasoning he's going to be hotter.

Let's not get carried away here. WNT was actually the ratings leader when David took the seat last year, and as recently as a couple of months ago. And these news ratings are highly influenced by the programming that surrounds them.

And all this talk about pretty boys etc makes you all sound like ridiculous haters, and old too. The only decision average people make when they watch news these days is what they were watching that led up to the news, and they leave the channel there. If football was on the night before, the broadcast will obviously get a lot of male viewership. If there was a debate on, the viewers will be older. And so forth.

Send the bitchy queen back to 20/20!

He'd be a better fit on a morning show.

Um no r244. David likes to stick to scripted news so he can turn on and off his butch persona, and do another take as seen in the OP's video! Morning shows would require him to engage in spontaneous banter about his personal life and he might slip up and reveal something.

Now Don Lemon is who I want to see on messy morning TV!

Dave prolly didn't get his hot beef injection for that day

I say replace him Thomas Roberts!!!

There's something fishy about this whole story. David may be cranky--lack of cock, perhaps--but I doubt it's ratings. ABC is steadily climbing in both ratings and demographics, while NBC is declining.

Following the logic of R240 et al, Scott Pelley/CBS should be #1 instead of #3. Actually, ABC must have found their "pretty boys" test pretty well with the public. They have a whole staff of them: David, Rob Marciano, Gio Benitez, Tom Llamas, Matt Gutman, etc.

ABC has always been known as the young and female oriented network whereas CBS and NBC is masculine

Majority of those pretty boys won't last very long in the national news network.

The only show on NBC that is losing viewers is the Today show, overall Nightly News is killing David Muir in the ratings.

I can't see Thomas Roberts being promoted cause him putting his homosexuality out there will turn off consverative viewers.

Peter Alexander and even Carl Quintanilla are the most promotable to be solid #2 for Lester Holt when he is not around.

R219 shouldn't people know this by now? Thanks for reposting that photo; it never gets old.

It's not as though he's going to broadcast topless on location, much less in studio. Heck, if he had to be in a pool for a story, he'd probably wear a full wetsuit. Imagine that.

Aaaaand...here is the actual video of that ice bucket challenge, if you want to see how it all goes down. Bunch of crazy people screaming, but kind of fun.

Action starts at 2:45. Enjoy!

David should go on a date with CNN's new hottie, Jeremy Diamond

[quote]Dave prolly didn't get his hot beef injection for that day

"prolly"

Oh Dear, you prolly should be shot.

I love how DLers post their opinions (or fantasies) as the one, irrefutable truth and sign them something like "The Truth Fairy" or "Blunt Talk."

Did you even bother reading R248's link?

[quote]The only show on NBC that is losing viewers is the Today show, overall Nightly News is killing David Muir in the ratings.

Well, no.

[bold]Season to date, ABC News “World News Tonight with David Muir” is averaging 461,000 more viewers, compared to the same time frame last season (8.314 million vs. 7.853 million), while “NBC Nightly News” is posting a 204,000 average loss (8.680 million vs. 8.884 million).[/bold]

Maybe you should sign future posts as Blunt Lies.

I'm still winning.

And I'm nice.

And I have a cute son.

Is Lester's son bi-racial? He looks like a cross between Lester and Zachary Levi.

Yes, Lester's wife is white.

As would, I have to guess, one of Lester's parents.

I think Tom Llamas is a good journalist. He was probably the first one with the balls to go after Trump at one of those press conferences about his immigration stance but got very little notice (or credit) for it. Would love to see him go far in the business.

Both of Lester's parents are black. He's MGM.

David showing off his guns and his titties in a tight polo shirt. Tease!

And now the moniker "Anchor Monster"

R258 Tom Llamas did the Sunday news last night and was very good. I don't always see it so I don't know if he does the weekend evening news every week. I think they rotate people.

TL is cute, too. He may not be a "Disney prince," but he's not bad.

R262 Are you serious? What do you think we've been discussing, you lazy fuck?

R263, I think TL does it every Sunday. A female anchor does it on Saturdays.

Thanks for the laugh, R264

David Muir coming up on Jimmy Kimmel tonight...he will probably be in those tight blue jeans, brushed brown boots, dark blue shirt and blue jacket...This is the only thing he ever wears....so boring David!!!!

he always wears this outfit and those dirty stinky boots for years now!

Those are John Varvatos boots I'll have you know!

oooh R267, watch and let us know how it goes. Will he discuss Anchor Monster, or is that off-limits?

He wore a black v-neck sweater with black jeans and those boots. Talked about being the anchor of WNT for one whole year. Why does he always wear black when he's not in his anchorman costume?

Cool people in NYC wear black. Didn't you read the instruction booklet dear?

It would be interesting to see him in something other than dark navy or black. He did wear that chocolate brown polo once, and I guess he got (good) shit for it since it showed off his arms, as R261 just posted above. Other than the light blue or white button down under his suits for World News, I can't think of the last time I've seen him in color. Maybe he should try...lavender? Seriously, men in a deep shade of maroon/burgundy (shirt or accessory such as a winter scarf) do it for me; he would be no exception.

I heard Sofia Vergara was on tonight as well. Joe has nothing to worry about! Well, black IS slimming. Thanks for being on the lookout, R271

I wonder if David and Joe shared workout tips (or something more) in the green room while Sofia was out front with Kimmel.....

Cute David strutting his stuff taking the back alley way into Jimmy Kimmel (his show, that is).

Trust me, David knows his way down the back alley VERY well.

Which one of Lester Holt's sons is supposed to be the cute one? The one with the big ears, or the one with the big nose?

whore muir needs to shut the fuck up and swivel down hard on my cock

Ooooh shit!!

[quote]ABC brass worry that David Muir's makeup is hurting ratings

[quote]Insiders at ABC are partly blaming the ratings decline for “World News Tonight With David Muir” on the anchor’s makeup, with one insider telling Confidenti@l he “looks like an Oompa Loopa” on air.

[quote]“David likes to do [his foundation] himself and needs to be told that you can be too orange."

lol these stories about David lately are just ridiculous. Somebody at ABC just does not like him and is planting all this shit on blogs.

It seems so, doesn't it R281. There has been a steady drip of unflattering clips and tales about Muir for the last month or two. I'm sure the brass are not happy with the ratings he's producing right now. Frankly, he just comes off as inauthentic - and that's a tough perception to overcome.

Two queer points:

That little "Hey" at the end of R276 's clip - does David use that line when he picks up his tricks?

The makeup story - what serious newsman even cares that much about his makeup? Only the queer ones. That whole article is so full of gay-baiting, I'm surprised they didn't mention that he also does his own hair!

This is so ridiculous that now his makeup is the issue? He may be no Kevin Aucoin, but he probably does a better job on makeup than some females.

Many a gay man has gone overboard with the Bronzer. David is far from unique in that respect.

R285: you mean like this?

[quote]lol these stories about David lately are just ridiculous. Somebody at ABC just does not like him and is planting all this shit on blogs.

Exactly. What do you want to bet he turned down some fat, fugly queen who's exacting his revenge.

You see I'm not vain at all. I post unflattering selfies of mine:

Gunshow!

Glad they let me in:

Black and White:

[quote]Exactly. What do you want to bet he turned down some fat, fugly queen who's exacting his revenge.

I doubt it's merely a spurned staffer. I think it's coming at the orders of those higher up who are planting the seeds for his eventual sidelining.

Why sideline someone who's increased ABC's ratings over the previous anchor and is beginning to close the gap between ABC and traditionally higher rated NBC.

No, this is sour grapes from disgruntled underlings.

I was thinking the same thing, R292. The evening news race is very competitive and if David appears to be unable to take the #1 spot from NBC and hold it, then TPTB at ABC may start to consider other options (i.e., replacements). In his favor, however, I think the ratings would have to completely collapse before this would happen in order to make getting rid of him look justified and not like panicking.

Well, now we know why he was such a bitch-- Gio is engaged!

[quote] “David likes to do [his foundation] himself and needs to be told that you can be too orange."

Ooooooo weee! If that ain't shade, I don't know what it is!

lol r296

So. do we think David will go the wedding?

I need him between my legs.

David will be jumping out of the cake -- and then bitch-slapping Tommy-- at the bachelor party.

Of course David will go to the wedding. He'll probably bring along a beard (Lara Spencer, maybe?) and get too drunk and do or say something inappropriate and be told to go into rehab and be replaced in the anchor chair by someone like Tom Llamas and the brass will like Tom better and when David gets out of rehab he'll be stuck with that other drunk Elizabeth Vargas only doing 20/20 while Tom's ratings soar past Lester Holt's and David will be a bitter closet case drunk the rest of his life.

I speak from experience.

Tom Llamas has done nothing but sit and look pretty while reading the news.

He has no reporting background to speak of, other than the fluffiest shit at local. They are not going to put him in the main anchor chair unless/until they ship him off to war a few times.

He was a third-stringer at WNBC, anchoring the noon news. He must have the best agent in the world to go from that role to network weekend anchor.

Maybe no one's out to get him. Maybe he really just is a huge cunt and the minions had enough and decided to go to the media.

It's not because he's gay. I'm sure everyone behind the scenes knows he's gay. Although, maybe they think that if more of the public is becoming aware that he's gay they won't want to watch him. Too bad he's not brave enough to come out.

Maybe now that Gio is being made into an honest man, he will be groomed to replace David.

Maybe I'm blind, but is he really radioactive/toxic orange like Valentino?

I wonder if he's 'tan' all over or if it's just the face makeup...

Wear short sleeves more often so we can determine, unless you're trying to hide tattoos or something!

[quote]Too bad he's not brave enough to come out.

Even if he wanted to come out, maybe ABC would ask/demand that he not? How much of the decision is truly just his alone?

What are they going to do fire him and set themselves up for a huge lawsuit?

David must be listening to his handlers. His face had less Bronzer on that usual on tonight's broadcast.

r306 No, they'll simply move him to a less prominent position, much like they did to Diane Sawyer.

So David learned that his Orange Julius doesn't bring all the boys to the yard?

Everything you want to know about ABC’s Gen X Walter Cronkite. by

News anchor David Muir knew he wanted to be a journalist by the time he hit double digits. Around fifth grade, he began broadcasting from inside a cardboard box in his family’s living room in Syracuse, New York. Soon he used his allowance to buy a cassette recorder at RadioShack and began to interview his sister’s teenage friends. Fast-forward three decades and his interview subjects have a tad more gravitas—Barack Obama, Tim Cook, and Bill Gates, to name a few. Since he became the anchor of ABC’s World News Tonight, last September, the broadcast has edged out its competitors in ratings, placing Muir in the same pantheon as his newsroom heroes Diane Sawyer and Peter Jennings. Now that he’s been at the helm for one year, Muir talks about life as a new breed of evening anchor, his embarrassing dearth of real vices, and tweeting during commercial breaks.

HE IS “Dr. Muir” now. Earlier this year his alma mater Ithaca College (he was class of ‘95) gave him an honorary doctorate.

BUT DON’T call him “doctor”—at least not in public. “Here in New York, people will probably want ‘scrips,’ ” he says.

AS A teenager, he spent his vacations working at WTVH-TV 5, the local CBS affiliate in Syracuse. “They had a growth chart on the wall on a doorway in the newsroom,” he recalls. “When I would come in on school breaks, they would march me over and measure how much I had grown.” (He’s now five feet eleven inches.)

THE HISTORICAL event he wishes he could have covered: “D-day, because of the incredible bravery and sacrifice. Of course, I would have been terrified.”

HIS BIGGEST adrenaline surges come during interviews just before he drops an H-bomb question: “I’m sitting across from Mitt Romney, and I know the next question is going to be about the rate he paid on his taxes.”

HE HAS no plans for a sign-off line, such as Walter Cronkite’s famous “And that’s the way it is.” “There’s something about a sign-off that seems predictable,” he says. “I just say whatever comes to my mind, to the pleasure and horror of the control room, I’m sure.”

HE TWEETS to viewers on set during commercial breaks with “the hope that people will think that I’m like them. Their anchor should reflect the times.” As of now, @DavidMuir has more than 200,000 followers.

HE HAS a signature selfie face in pictures with fans: three-quarters toward the camera, with a slightly pouty smile. “My head always looks three times the size” of everyone else’s, he says.

HE WOULD like to assure viewers that his head isn’t actually three times as big as theirs. It’s just the angle, he says. (He’s usually in the foreground.)

DESPITE BEING comfortable online, he gets a lot of his daily news in print, from The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, and others: “I still like the physicality of papers.”

LIKE A real New Yorker, he takes the subway to work every day.

HE HAS a very specific office soundtrack. “There are Radiohead days; there are Coldplay days. My assistants love the Chet Baker days.”

HE BINGE-WATCHES House of Cards and was obsessed with Mad Men, which reminded him of his childhood in Syracuse.

Part II

HIS PERSONAL style is “classic but understated.” Most of his suits are Zegna, his jeans are A.P.C., and his signature sunglasses are Randolph gold-framed aviators. “I did a story on them,” he says, adding that part of the allure is the company’s decades-long contract with the United States Air Force. Other famous wearers of the shades: Robert Redford in Spy Game and Jon Hamm in Mad Men.

UNLIKE DON Draper, he has no bar cart in his office. There are, however, a handful of Emmys arranged in a neat line, the wings all facing the same way. (He’s not a neat freak, he claims, just a fan of “clean lines.”)

HIS VICE of choice: venti red eyes, i.e., 20-ounce Starbucks coffees with a shot of espresso.

HE PLAYS tennis but doesn’t take it too seriously: “My backhand is better than my forehand, which isn’t saying much.” Nor is he an equipment snob. He bought his racket at an upstate Walmart.

WHEN HE’S running on the gym treadmill, he unabashedly listens to a Spotify playlist called Teen Party. “It sounds ridiculous,” he says, but the songs are “what everyone will be listening to in a few months.”

THE LAST books he read: The Flamethrowers, by Rachel Kushner, and The Lowland, by Jhumpa Lahiri. He tends to “gravitate to dark studies of the human condition.”

HE LOVES long flights: “No one can really reach me … ” On a recent long flight, he watched The Notebook for the first time, which reduced him to tears in front of the stewardess.

HE BLISSES out whenever he’s on his way back to Syracuse. “When I turn onto I-81 and drive into those hills, there’s nothing I love more than rolling those windows down. Nothing can match that feeling.”

How can a national anchor, someone who wants you to believe he gives a shit about the world, shop at Walmart? Maybe he needs his gay card revoked, or do closet cases not even get a gay card?

Christ, now I know why someone stole all the August 2015 issues of VF from my gym. With this article and coverboy Channing Tatum, I didn't stand a chance.

and

[quote]HE TWEETS to viewers on set during commercial breaks with “the hope that people will think that I’m like them. Their anchor should reflect the times.”

it is pretty clear that David is an arrogant ass who thinks little of his viewers. It makes reports of his diva behavior much more believable.

If you follow him on Twitter, you can see that all the tweets he sends out during the news are to frauen who think he's "hot". Narcissism at its peak.

Interesting that the VF "in-depth" questionnaire does not ask about his personal/love life. Hiding something?

R314 I missed that "people will think that I'm like them" line. Jesus, he is officially insufferable.

Must be a sad life to have nothing to do but sit around grasping at straws, looking for a reason to dislike a stranger.

But, as is apparent from the Gio Benitiez thread, all it takes is being gay, hot, and, successful to set the killer bees swarming.

Forming an opinion of someone based on their public statements is hardly grasping at straws.

R318 it certainly is when you reach to put the worst possible spin on a statement.

It was a puff piece in VF. That alone should tell a person of average intelligence that none of the statements were controversial.

Traditionally, David hasn't been much of a social media person--only work related tweets. Thus he's trying to use Twitter more to be "more like" the viewers.

R319, I agree with you in general, however phrasing carries a lot of weight. Saying "I want people to think that I'm like them" carries a connotation that the speaker does not believe he is like them. Swap "know" for "think" in that phrase and it becomes one of inclusion rather than division. The little things we say speak volumes about us.

A counter with "you know what he means" would not work well here because the vast majority of us only have quotes like these to go on for getting an impression.

David clearly appears to be trying to connect with his audience, and I find that commendable. I think he needs to be a bit more careful of his words to come across as just another person rather than a king in commoners clothes.

Do straight men admit to crying over 'The Notebook'?

[quote]HE LOVES long flights: “No one can really reach me … ” On a recent long flight, he watched The Notebook for the first time, which reduced him to tears in front of the stewardess.

[quote]was obsessed with Mad Men, which reminded him of his childhood in Syracuse.

Geez-- how old IS he? I'm 63 (born in '52), and "Mad Men" covered MY growing-up years.

R320

A fair criticism of an awkward choice of words. I sincerely doubt his short tenure as anchor of WNT has blown his head up terribly. For years now, since his days on the overnight news, all we've heard is what a nice guy he is. The negative publicity is very recent, and sudden.

Maybe he pissed off the wrong persons(s), maybe he's been bitchy lately for some personal reason, maybe he's stressed out by the job. Or some combination of the above.

On a lighter note, his makeup looked better tonight. I never thought he was LiLo orange, but the foundation was all wrong. It was much toned-down this evening.

David Jason Muir was born November 8, 1973, making him 41.

r322 The attitudes and mood of the Mad Men era continued on into the 70s. Yes, the times were changing, but still some attitudes held on for a long time. So, yes, the show could easily have reminded him of his childhood.

R324, I also find the Mad Men statement confusing. I am almost exactly one year younger than David and grew up about a 6 hour drive west of him in Cleveland. In 1980, that would make us 7 and 6 respectively. What kids that young are meaningfully informed by the times? For people our age it was all about the 80's and Reagan. I would be interested if David clarified what specifically reminded him of his childhood.

He was, like Dick Whitman, raised in a whorehouse.

David's problem is that he is too much of a pretty boy.

Pretty boys don't last long on national news. When you are an anchorman perception is equally important as credibilty and Muir does not have the right perception or look. Men watch the news too and generally average joes and heterosexual men have a dislike or distrust towards pretty boys.

Lester Holt is not a bad looking guy but he comes across more authentic and alpha male then David Muir. Lester Holt comes across as more husband material whereas Muir is more like boyfriend/lover material.

The husband is who you want to live, vow, love and stay loyal to the rest of your life

The boyfriend/lover is a cycle of intense heated passion and then it is over and out of your system.

[quote]He was, like Dick Whitman, raised in a whorehouse.

And like Dick Whittington, some of his best friends are pussies but he never fucked one let alone married one.

R327 Has printed virtually the same thing TEN times in this thread. Did you think we didn't understand the first nine times.

You think real men like Lester and that David is a "pretty boy" who won't last. This despite Muir being nearly 42, hardly a boy, and having been on ABC since 2003.

You don't have to watch David Muir but if you continue to pretend he's some flash in the pan, you're either psychotic or a troll.

... or Scott Pelley.

Someone commented in the "Anderson Cooper is starting to look like shit!" thread how shitty David Tyler Muir looks. Poor DTM, they are working him to death. Somebody get him a scarf before he catches a cold!

I'm sure just needs an hour+rubdown (as in, massage). Treat yourself DTM for all your hard work!

He'll be back to (his version of) normal on Monday for sure.

Well, hell. No longer available. I'm always late to the party. Anybody seen my Ethel Merman disco album?

They can't get his makeup right. My mother said his skin looked gray when he was filming on the streets of Paris.

He may be tired, too. He's worked odd hours for so many years and now that he's gone as high up as he can at ABC, he's probably wondering if it's worth it.

His friend and coworker (and maybe ex-lover) Gio Benitiez is getting married and David's alone. He's at the height of his career and has no one to share it with.

I'm also sure he's aware time's running out for true love. Within a few years, if it hasn't already happened, the only guys who'll approach him are much younger guys looking for a sugar daddy. And I think he's intelligent enough to know how ridiculous and pathetic that looks to others.

So, ABC staffers, if he seems a little cranky at times, he's going through a rough period now.

David looked gorgeous on last night's debate, radiating even. He clearly has gotten some much needed R&R. His calm, smooth voice the result of years and years of elocution lessons.

That profile is tough though

Handsome enuff 4 ya?

Nice house, but still a lightweight journalist.

[quote]David looked gorgeous on last night's debate, radiating even. He clearly has gotten some much needed R&R.

Or maybe some hot sex the night before?

Isn't St. Anselm's (the college where the debate happened) an ALL-BOYS school?

Biceps:

Arms and pecs - and no hair gel!

David has nicer tits than Gio, and looks so much better without that sculpted hair.

yeah his stylist should try to forgo so much product in his hair when he's in the studio. David has was more sex appeal when he does his own hair

Off-duty David:

So butch. The pecs and arms have deflated.

Nice bag, gurl.

Hot ABC 3sum

I think that on Friday nights, David scarfs Chinese Food and guzzles Pinot Grigio while flipping through photos Gio took of him years ago, and he cries.

...................

Scruffy and unshaven, he looks so hot. And without all that sculpting gel, you can see the grey streaks in his hair - also hot.

I love how everyone assumes that David is lonely after his (alleged) relationship with Gio. I'm sure he gets plenty of sex whenever he wants it.

He's such a dirty, delicious man-whore!

Allegedly.

He must hire escorts, since he's never been seen at straight or gay bars, or anywhere else where one might find a sex partner. For years he was seen socially with Ginger Zee the weathergirl, but then Ginger married Ben Aaron and since then David has been seen stag at social events. You never saw photos of him and Gio out and about...

Considering the times we do see him out of a suit (obviously not in THAT way, but in regular everyday clothing), he tends to gravitate towards the same type of wardrobe: dark denim, a button down or pullover in navy, black, gray, or neutral tones. Nothing outrageous or flashy, but simple and probably still on the mid-higher brand range. So besides the suits he wears for work (thinking Zegna or Armani), he doesn't seem to spend a lot on that kind of trendy lifestyle. At least to the public eye.

He's never been seen out at the theatre, restaurants, bars, etc. That photo of him with the floppy hair in the subway was posted by him, so of course he does get out occasionally.

R354 may be right; perhaps that is exactly how he spends his hard-earned (hush) money.

R355 Yeah I'll tell you what he spends his money on....

his HAIR.

(And the removal of it from anywhere but on his head)

There's a nice man bag at r347.

[quote]I love how everyone assumes that David is lonely after his (alleged) relationship with Gio. I'm sure he gets plenty of sex whenever he wants it.

Just because someone can go out and get laid doesn't mean they aren't lonely.

Being lonely is a more complicated concept than that. It means you are without a soulmate or without a friend.

He needs to blow his nose.

he's gotta be getting laid and having SEX with someone??????????????????????? No gossip???

It's got to be a sad existence — to be at your professional peak with no one to share it with, as someone said upthread.

And not just that, but to be age 40 and never to have been able to date normally because you're afraid you'll be found out ... that has to really fuck you up mentally.

He either has no sex, or has it with escorts with airtight NDAs (gross), because there hasn't been a peep about him other than the Gio rumors.

I tol' em that lil queen washn't fit to take my throne.

Whaddan embarrashment to the nedwork!

He doesn't need sex, he runs on ambition and bitchiness.

Not everyone is obsessed with sex.

Some people can go without it.

Why does David always stand with his right hand covering his left pinky? There are tons of photos all over the internet (incl. his own instagram) with him in this same position. What is he hiding? Is it a purity ring of some kind? Or is the pose a signal to a secret boyfriend ("I can't jack my penis but I'm jacking my pinky thinking of you"), like when Carol Burnett used to tug her ear to signal her grandma?

R365 That's a common nervous tick.

or carpal tunnel, R365

Is he cut or uncut?

Would love to know if he's a top or a bottom (though my guess would be vers).

For some reason, I'm thinking cut-

R369 versatile but he loves ass ;O

He is Roman Catholic according to his bio.

Really should be the Most Elegible Bachelor of the Year:

Sexy:

How's the accent and grammar ?

I wonder if David's Spanish has improved after his time with Gio...,

Is David part-Hispanic?

[quote] because there hasn't been a peep about him other than the Gio rumors.

Which only exist here on Datalounge and are started by one obsessed poster.

Bill Hemmer is much better looking and built.

[quote]It's got to be a sad existence — to be at your professional peak with no one to share it with, as someone said upthread.

Which is simply your opinion and one you're wrong about. Just because YOU don't like something doesn't make it universal. I guess you must feel all blind and deaf people have a sad existence just because you are sighted and can hear. Some people can live very filling and happy lives despiste not living up to your expectations. I bet plenty of straight people feel that way about gays.

[quote]And not just that, but to be age 40 and never to have been able to date normally because you're afraid you'll be found out ... that has to really fuck you up mentally.

How do you know he doesn't. You just assume because the Internet doesn't say so? You're the one that is obsessing over him instead of actually going into the world and living your life.

Welcome to DL, David/R379.

R377 I don't think so, but he probably took Spanish in high school.

Also, he did study abroad over in Spain during college.

someone say cunty...merry christmas DM ur straight? NO!?

David's Spanish is adequate, but he's no Tom Llamas...

But then Tom is Hispanic isn't he, so he has the advantage of being a native speaker [or at least his parents are]...

Tom Llamas is fucking hot.

[Quote]How's the accent and grammar ?

David's Spanish is very "gringo" sounding, but you can tell he rehearsed the hell out of questions before going on the air. It's stiff sounding, but he gets an A for effort.

Jeb sounds pretty damn good. He has a Mexican accent, with American English influences. But he speaks it rather smoothly and confidently. But Jeb sounds like he typically uses his Spanish for casual conversations. I think he would be awkward having a debate in Spanish, for example.

Ya call?

With Tom Llamas, you just know that dick is big and thick, plus he just looks like the type who can't ever get enough sex.

Damn, his wife is lucky.

Tom Llamas is as dumb as a post. He was a second- to third-string newsreader on WNBC (doing the noon and 5pm news, definitely not the 11) and was only an occasional reporter for vanity's sake, so the fact that ABC hired him as the weekend anchor / a serious journalist was shocking to those in the industry.

R389=Gio Benitez

Why do you think Llamas always has that little smirk on his face? He's got what everybody wants!

Merry Christmas from DTM

R392 So that's six glasses for: David, his mom, (step)dad, sister, brother-in-law, and...

Screw the champagne. Can I please suckle his tits for New Years?

Look at those nips! Salivating at just the sight of them.

I wonder if nipple play is in his repertoire? You expect that he would due to those things, but people surprise me sometimes.

Wait...we actually have people in this thread who doubt Muir's homosexuality? Stop being dense.

R389, Llamas was on NBC for a while, he seemed ambitious filled in on the Today show. ABC News can't be taken seriously as a real news organization when it is run and owned by Disney.

Windswept!

He took a photo very similar to that last year r399. Also, someone commented that he should come out and be free next year on this post.

Someone's taking those photos for him, & I doubt it's the whole, 'Excuse me, can you take a photo for me?' situation of asking a stranger. There's been others like this, posted by Muir himself.

Doubt he's single, he's just discreet. Perhaps he's been partnered for years with someone who doesn't want to be in the spotlight.

Or, dtm is embarrassed by him/her, R401.

i'd love to cream inside his cunt!

My cunt is sufficiently creamed, thank you, R403.

r402 If DTM was involved with a woman, you would see photos of them everywhere.

People don't closet their heterosexuality.

Well DTM had Gio, but that obviously didn't work out. I wonder if DTM sacked him because Gio was starting to "get ideas" about having a future together.

I think he'll come out in 2016. In some sort of exclusive sit down with Barbara Walters, and he'll reveal that he's been partnered for years, but neither of them like enjoy the spotlight.

Given that he's now the anchor of WNT, you'd think they'd stop having him sub for George on GMA when George is on holiday break. Seems like kind of a "comedown" of sorts for someone with his status at the network.

Also, not sure if I agree he's in a LTR with someone (though it's certainly possible) but have no doubt that he gets/has plenty of sex with someone who knows to keep his mouth shut about it (or is paid to).

R400 here: jfkcape43Be brave in 2016 David, come out and be free like Anderson!🌈

Wouldn't it be hilarious if jfkcape43Be is out journalist Jonathan Capehart?

'Cause Jonathan probably knows the truth, seeing as he and David travel in the same circles...

R410 not

Anyone watching GMA this morning notice how DTM was kind of flirty with the Aussie chef Dan Churchill?

R408, yeah generally the evening news anchor has higher status then a morning show host. David and George do not get along from what I heard, they are constantly competing for assignments and spots.

David was very flirty this morning with that Australian Chef. David prolly got a boner

He is one of those guys, who in some pics look good in some he doesn't. Weird. Nevertheless I'd like to knee in front of him and taste his dick through his jeans.

Dear God, R382. Why? WHY?

[quote]Nevertheless I'd like to knee in front of him and taste his dick through his jeans.

Hopefully he is cut.

R417, He was born here, and back in the 70's. Most likely, I'd say he is.

a dan and david sex tape would be amazing

Remember me? I'm a big deal at CBS now.

Any dish on Dan Harris? I know he's married with child but would love to know if he's ever had any experience with the mansex.

Has Diva Tyler Muir placed a permanent ban on showing the Gio-Tommy New Year's kiss on ABC?

Anyone seen David Muir naked in the locker room?

David & Dan

............

Anyone ever see David's feets? Even socked on a plane.

................

I watched that clip from GMA. David was definitely flirting with Dan during that cooking segment.

Sorry [R216] that photo has been identified as fake.

I don't know how anyone could look at the pic at R424 and question David's red-blooded heterosexuality.

i want to get my cock inside david muir's arse cheeks! i have heard it will be a snug fit

Who's to say he was only "trying," R431 -- maybe he got it!

When David is just casually standing, he poses like a gay hustler.

muir played the part of the meat in that sandwich

Has David weighed in with his memories of Bowie, and how Bowie touched his life and taught him how to live out loud? Or is David more into Karen Carpenter?

On Monday he reported WNT live from Arizona where the Alabama/Clemson game was playing. He definitely mentioned David Bowie's passing along with the El Chapo story. I didn't get to tune in tonight; this was just one of those 'coming up next' segments I saw.

Anyone else?

Agreed - his tone was perfect while being able to gather information

David's trademark wide manly man-stand!

In Europe 's Terrorist Capital:

The Future is Dim...

R441 Looks awfully suspicious to me.

So funny to read this thread a couple of years later. All the predictions of failure. Now ABC w/Muir has the highest number of viewers and the largest growth (up 8% over this time last year).

Only because I quit
