- Stephanie Edwards (TV personality)
Stephanie Ann Edwards, born November 8, 1943 in Kenyon, Minnesota.
Edwards was co-host of ABC-TV's "AM America", the forerunner to "Good Morning America", in 1975. She was also the co-host of the Tournament of Roses Parade on Los Angeles television channel KTLA with former game show host Bob Eubanks from 1978 to 2006. She has appeared in a number of other television shows, including Marcus Welby, M.D..
Tournament of Roses parade
For the 2006 KTLA Rose Parade broadcast, Edwards was replaced (after twenty-six years) as Eubanks' co-host in the main booth by KTLA morning news co-anchor Michaela Pereira and reassigned as an on-street reporter (having to stand outside in the rain while giving periodic live updates). Although all three were equally billed as co-hosts, the move created a storm of controversy and was seen as insensitive by many of Edwards' fans, as well as by local TV critics, although Edwards herself remained gracious.

On September 15, 2008, KTLA announced that Edwards will rejoin Eubanks to co-host the 2009 Tournament of Roses Parade coverage on KTLA. [Braxton, Greg - Roses for KTLA's Stephanie Edwards.
