Daryn Kagan

which is really how I've had the most success over my entire career anyway.

You know, I think to get to CNN, so I was working in Phoenix.

They had made me sign a five-year contract for $19,000 a year since we like to talk money here.

No outs.

I mean, no outs.

Yeah.

I mean, Diane Sawyer could have keeled over and ABC could have called and said, we want Darren.

And that news director would have said, hell no, she's under contract for $19,000 a year for the next 10 years.

No, it was a five-year contract.

No outs.

I counted down to the end of that like my whole life was going to change at the end of that five years.

And it got to like year four and it was like nothing was kind of really happening.

So that's when I got the idea to do sports.

And so I went into that news director.

Oh, that news director, by the way, I was the only brunette on that station.

Everybody else was blonde.

And when I would go in.

Yeah.

So I was a reporter.

And I would go in kind of a chance to anchor and he would say, Darren and TV, there's just this it.
