Jennifer Ann Wilson, WXYZ

Post by Rose Lorraine » Wed Sep 08, 2021 12:46 pm

Anyone have any idea what happened to her? She has been off the air for a few weeks now. Still on Facebook but not answering any questions about her whereabouts.

I wasn't terribly fond of her work.

Agreed. Jennifer Ann Wilson always seemed so awkward when she was doing her on the street stories.

I looked at her Twitter profile. She has herself listed as a storyteller. I had a professor in college who was also a storyteller. Apparently that was her main gig. Never fully understood what she did.

She had a whole 'nuther life before being a reporter on 7. Who knew?

According to IMDB:
"Jennifer Wilson was born on October 5, 1980 in Warren, Michigan, USA as Jennifer Ann Wilson. She is an actress and producer, known for BYRDwatch (2011), How I Met Your Mother (2005) and Chase the Slut (2010)."
They also list for for a bunch of other credits going back to 2004. No mention of her as a reporter.

She also shows up in their list of "Female actresses Over 5'10" ". She is the tallest in the list, even towering (at 1" more) over Brigitte Nielson, who is 6'1". At 6'2", she's tied with someone named Monika Schnarre.

Today she returned from having gone quiet on her social media to say that she didn't renew her contract and that she's craving new adventures and challenges.

"I did not renew my contract this time around, I am craving new adventures and challenges, but while I am excited for the next chapter, it is sad to end this one."

On How I Met Your Mother she played one of the daughters in law of the Eriksen (Marshall's) family. The joke is that Marshall (Jason Segel, 6'4") is tall and his parents (Bill Fagerbakke, 6'6" and Suzie Plakson, 6'2") are also tall and Marshall's brothers (Ned Rolsma, 6'11" and Robert Michael Ryan, 6'7") are tall and Jennifer Ann Wilson is 6'2" and poor Alyson Hannigan who plays Marshall's girlfriend is 5'5". The joke is she visits Marshall's family for Thanksgiving and learns that her hips are too narrow to birth an Eriksen child. So it seems Jennifer was hired for her height.
