Imagine buying a used SUV from a dealership, only to walk outside weeks later and find it GONE from your driveway. It wasn’t stolen. It was REPOSSESSED! The dealership says there’s more to this story, and you might be surprised by what I uncovered.

I love our viewers! I was across the street doing an interview in this Florida heat when Kathy spotted me and apparently noticed all the sweat pouring off my bald head! 🤣 Next thing I know, she comes over with a towel! Now THAT is ON YOUR SIDE.

JUDGE JUDY: So this is about a bird? KELLY CLARKSON: It was an automata. JUDY: Amma wamma what? CLARKSON: It's like a bird that moves on its own. STORE OWNER: Like a robot bird. JUDGE JUDY: Did I say you can talk yet? Go on sweetheart. CLARKSON: It had a sign.

This Emmy nomination feels different. 🏆 I’ve been fortunate to receive Emmy nominations before, but this is the first for Ask Anthony — and that makes this one incredibly special.

“Why can’t our kids get a school bus?” That’s the question a group of St. Johns County parents brought to me. They describe school drop-off and pickup as chaotic, frustrating and a daily headache — and they believe bus service could help solve the problem.

I spoke with Colleen Slemmer’s mother, May Martinez, after she traveled to Tennessee expecting to witness Christa Pike’s execution. Instead, Pike survived the execution attempt after complications during the lethal-injection process. May called me on her way home to Florida.

“The state owes me a big apology” I spoke with Colleen Slemmer’s mother following the halted execution of Christa Pike. She’s currently driving back to Florida. Slemmer was brutally murdered by Pike in 1995.

Christa Pike was given the lethal injection tonight in Tennessee — but she did not die. According to witnesses, Pike received two doses of pentobarbital during the execution. But more than 40 minutes later, witnesses say she was still alive.
