Carlos Amezcua is an Emmy award winning journalist best known for his seventeen years as the original co-anchor for the KTLA Morning News,[1] with Barbara Beck as his anchor,[2] Mark Kriski handling weather and Sam Rubin reporting on the entertainment industry. Airing at 5:00am, the crew became more comfortable with each other and humor crept into the newscasts. Managing executive Steve Bell described the show as, “the first one with the crazy anchors".[3] In September 2007, Amezcua left KTLA for KTTV anchoring the 10:00pm newscast.[4]
