Nice chest with a long face.
Jacqueline,
You have a penetrating tone of voice! Surprisingly, though, I didn’t see or read anything about your foreign practice and assignments. I do want to read about it if any!
She’s a brick house! And that’s meant as a compliment!!
She sure has a gr8 figure…very shapely woman
I knew she wasn’t a true Eagles fan…her commentating during the time of the Super Bowl and parade totally turned me off to her. No matter how articulate and beautiful she is, the insincere enthusiasm is nauseating!
All that and more
She is “stiff” on camera. No liveliness. Dull.
I would like to know about the picture behind her with the cat in it. I think I know but want to be sure. Where can I get one
hey I take what you report very seriously awesome reporter keep up the good work
Jacquelin,
I enjoy listening to you speak. You are professional, beautiful and extremely
likeable. We are so lucky to have you here
in Phila. Good Luck!
Well said, could not agree with you more.
You are the best anchor I have known since I was born. Soft spoken and admirable. Good luck in everything you do.
Absolutely, drop-dead gorgeous! Jacqueline London is a classic beauty…
Jacqulin London is one of the most beautiful women on television.
Her news reporting is clear, concise, articulate and a joy to listen to, and she is one of the reasons, I listen to NBC 10 in the Philadelphia market ONLY, for news!
It’s incredible.
JacquelIine,
You are competent, intelligent, articulate, beautiful, and inspirational. If I were a guy, I’d ask you to dinner and a show. Rock on, girlfriend.
Jacqueline makes watching the news enjoyable (which is tough to do), she clearly is professional, articulate & easy on the eyes. NBC is lucky to have her!
Jackie is one beautiful woman. So professional.
