- Victoria Sinclair
Victoria Sinclair (born
April 3 ,1966 ) is the senior anchorwoman onNaked News . She is originally from SouthernOntario .Sinclair was the first newscaster to join the show when it began in
September 1999 , and the only one until Holly Weston signed on later that year. She is also one of the only two current newscasters to have had journalistic experience before joining Naked News, along withMichelle Pantoliano . She took a year's sabbatical afterSeptember 2001 , "to study, and to reconnect with family and friends", and returned inNovember 2002 . Sinclair has been on the show since then.She is recognised for bringing a mark of professionalism to the Naked News, and critics have praised the quality of her reporting. She also started the tradition of reporting serious and tragic news without disrobing, as when she demanded to remain fully clothed to report on the death of former
Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau . However, only the most major tragedies, it seems, warrant remaining clothed: the news routinely includes items related to natural disasters, wars, and crime for which Sinclair, and other Naked News anchors, disrobe while reporting.She is normally part of the most serious and news-oriented segments of the show, such as "News off the Top" and "International News". Sinclair also often does the "Closing Remarks" with one or two other co-anchors.
