Brandon
M. Fox, better know to his fans, as B.Fox, was a late addition
to the "Gettin Later" team. A sophomore secondary
education major at Slippery Rock University, Brandon joined
the staff mid-way through the third season. Brandon was
picked up via television waivers after free agent Gary Coleman
failed to meet minimum height requirements.
A graduate
of Cedar Crest High School in eastern Pennsylvania, B. Fox
was a popular student as well as a standout athlete. An
All-American in soccer and volleyball, Brandon was living
the dream.
He,
as you remember, rose to fame after saving the life of then
Texas Govenor George W. Bush while vacationing in upstate
Montana. Brandon's name was added as running mate to "W"
in the 2000 Presidential election. He had money, bitches
and Pokemon, but fame has its price and Brandon was no exception.
He was taken off the ballot just days before the election
after an alleged attack on Backstreet Boy Nick Carter, who
was seen with current Vice- President Dick Cheney two days
before the alleged incident. Brandon's future tumbled quickly
into a downward spiral. His friends, family and fan base
began to turn on their young hero, thus leading him to years
of alcohol, snorting pixie sticks and watching NBC's (s)hit
sitcom "Friends."
After
a chance meeting with boyhood idol Uncle Jesse of "Full
House" (John Stamos), B.Fox began to turn his life
around. He was offered a part on the series "The Norm
MacDonald Show", but the series was cancelled after
only two seasons. Brandon found himself returning to a familiar
life of "Friends" watching.
Determined
not to fall down that hole again he gathered inspiration
from Steelers quarterback Tommy Maddox and enrolled at SRU.
Now a junior, B.Fox has turned his life around for good.
Thanks to the help of good friends Mike Reilly, Devin Gallagher
and Ryan "Muldo" Muldowney, Brandon has become
an integral part of the WSRU-TV staff. After serving as
an intern for his first semester with the show, B. Fox became
a cameraperson, and, eventually, floor manager and writer.
On the
side Brandon finds creative was to fund his education such
as serving as talent agent to Ryan Muldowney, who is an
up and coming cologne model.
