Dorothy Lucey on Good Day LA, Surviving Live TV, and Life After the Morning News
She woke up Los Angeles for nearly two decades with wit, warmth, and fearless honesty. Dorothy Lucey, the longtime co-host of Good Day LA, joins Steve Kmetko for a surprise-filled episode of Still Here Hollywood that’s equal parts laughter, nostalgia, and truth-telling.
From newsroom chaos to red carpet interviews, Dorothy shares candid stories about her career in television—what it was really like working alongside Steve Edwards and Jillian Barberie, the behind-the-scenes tensions that made great TV, and the morning her boss told her she “made his eyes bleed.” She opens up about the gift and heartbreak of being fired, teaching the next generation of broadcasters, and the surprising turns life takes when you let go of control. Along the way, Dorothy and Steve revisit their early newsroom days together, Madonna’s big break, boozy lunches, and even a baby shower that featured a real Oscar on the beach.

Behind-the-scenes of Good Day LA—friendships, fights, and live TV chaos
