Penny Daniels is an American speechwriter, author, communications coach, and a former television news anchor who once interviewed notorious killer Charles Manson and hosted the TV show A Current Affair.
Born as Elizabeth Penny Comm, Daniels is a native of Highland Park, Illinois.
The program only ran from 1989-1990, but, according to local ratings, was hugely popular in Miami where it beat the famous A Current Affair, then-anchored by Maury Povich and at the time aired on competing station WCIX-TV (now WFOR-TV).
[1][2] Shortly before leaving WSVN, Daniels was caught on the air telling a producer "You suck!"
In September 1994, Daniels left WBBM to join A Current Affair as a New York-based weekday host.
