Hey guys,

On November 17th, blowing out 50 candles is none other than....

Television/Cable Emcee Daisy Fuentes

Born in Havana, Cuba and standing 5'10" Daisy Fuentes is an Actress, Model, Former VJ, TV/Cable Emcee and Revlon's first Latina spokesperson to be signed to a worldwide contract

One of the most recognized faces of the 90's, as an actress, Daisy Guest Starred on an episode of The Ghostwriter for Public Television's PBS as Galaxy Girl and starred in the TNT Original Film Shutterspeed w/Steve Borden Better known as The Icon STING Produced by Eric Bischoff & Jason Hervey of The Wonder Years Fame and the film was taped in Vancouver, BC Canada

But she is perhaps best known as a VJ for MTV as she broke barriers as the network's first Latina VJ (signed to MTV and MTV Latin America simultaneously) and from January 1998-May 1999, she teamed up with Former VH1 VJ John Fugelsang as the host of America's Funniest Home Videos and they also introduced the segment called The Bad News/Good News Segments

Daisy & John replaced the original host Bob Saget and their version of AFV was the only version that never aired on its Traditional Sunday Night Time Slot on abc

In January of '98, it became a mid-season replacement for abc's Monday Night Football and during the 98/99 Season, the show moved to Saturday Night, but in the Spring of '99, their version moved to Thursday Nights competing against NBC's Thursday Night Juggernaut and Prime Time's #1 Sitcom Friends and as a result, the ratings suffered during this period and both Fuentes and Fugelsang left the show after two seasons in 1999

Their last episode – which aired on May 6 of that year – was taped at the House of Blues in West Hollywood, CA

During their time on AFV, Daisy & John appeared as Hosts in Las Vegas for Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve '98

She hosted the ALMA Award, the 1998 World Music Awards, the 1999 Billboard Latin Awards, and the Miss Teen USA, Miss USA, and Miss Universe pageants

after which, Daisy Fuentes appeared on VH-1 I Love the 80's and she was also a spokes person for Winsor Pilates

She also hosted a program for We-Women's Entertainment now known as WeTV and she also appeared on Hollywood Squares with Tom Bergeron who replaced Daisy & John as host of AFV for 14 Seasons

Is Daisy Fuentes still the spokeswoman for Kohl's? Because when I first started shopping at Kohl's when my city opened a Kohl's store Kohl's used to have the Daisy Fuentes line and Mom and I always liked the clothing the Daisy Fuentes line had and I even have a handbag of Daisy Fuentes as well. And if my memory serves me right Daisy Fuentes also promoted and appeared in commercials for Pantene shampoo in Spanish. It's amazing that Daisy Fuentes is fabulous and when Mom and I used to watch America's Funniest Home Videos when Daisy Fuentes cohosted it we liked her a lot. But one of my favorite sayings that Daisy Fuentes always says that appeared on tags for her clothing line from Kohl's is this saying
"If you want to do something do it with style"

Can't stand her, I used to date a girl years ago that was a classmate of hers & she showed me the yearbook to prove it. I was told that she was a stuck-up snob then and that she actually attended their high school reunion & made her grand-entrance in a helicopter that landed on the football field. :rolleyes:
