Live Fungi Splatoon 3 4.1.0 patch notes reaction

Putting it under a readmore because I've been informed it's a controversial one

Alright so we're starting off strong with some COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY shooter buffs, as if they weren't already the oppressively dominating weapon class at the moment. Oh boy.

Meaningful buffs to a blaster? Now THAT'S interesting! I speculate that they're doing this to make luna less of a downgrade compared to other short ranged weapons, especially against mid-air S-Blast '92. This is pretty good, in my opinion! But I'll wait to see what the blaster professional Chara has to say on the matter...

SERIOUSLY? OUT OF ALL WAYS YOU COULD BUFF THIS THING, THIS IS WHAT YOU DO? People on Twitter have been yelling at you for MONTHS about the terribly inconsistent paint output and the laughable damage, AND THIS IS WHAT YOU DO??? Ohhhhh man.

Alright, automatically a good patch for me. I've been trying this thing for the past week and I'm in love, but I don't have the resources to throw a build together- and they're fixing the ink consumption? For me? Trying to get on my good side, I see... (Also, they're REALLY burying Dynamo with this one LMAO)

I don't know how to use the weapon so I can't really comment on this, but this might be an interesting change...

This could be interesting... Not very meaningful, though.

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO TRI STRINGER MY BELOVED JUST KEEPS ON FUCKING WINNING!!!!

I was hoping that they'd do something more meaningful given that not a single new kit got lethal bombs, but I guess that it COULD have been worse. Sprinkler's a slightly better paintbot. Angle shooter, however... As a Slosher Deco main, I am pretty interested in this development 👀 although I do understand that it doesn't make a difference in the grand scheme of things

These seem to be pretty good, in my opinion!

TriZooka I wish they would've adjusted the hitbox because that thing simply does not work, but I can accept this compromise.

Ink Vac's been needing buffs for a WHILE now. I don't think that this is going to make it a lot better because the concerns brought up by comp players were unrelated to this buff, but I would like to believe that it's a step in the right direction.

Super Chump might now be a viable special in competitive, and more effective to use in general! Wahoo!

I saw some concerns regarding Inkjet potentially becoming an unhealthy special, and I'm happy that was addressed :}

Oh boy, points for special are coming up...

I almost JUMPED when I read Carbon Roller, but then I realized that it wasn't Carbon Roller Deco. Still, quite the W!

Ballpoint also had the points for special nerf coming for a WHILE now... But where's splash? And why is Rapid Blaster Deco still 210p???

The rest, I find... a little confusing? I COULD understand clash, but the resit? What are you doing, man?! Why are you giving Tri-Slosher Nouveau a harder time competing against N-Zap '85?! This is so dumb...

I haven't found any relevant bug fixes to cover, so let's go through the closing statements.

Dude, you cannot be saying this with a straight face. The shooter bias you're showing is INSANE. Also, where the fuck are the brella buffs? Hello???? If you want to encourage weapon diversity, stop neglecting an entire class, for fuck's sake. At least they did something about Luna, which actually supports this statement...

Listen man, you can't say "sub weapons" in plural. The buff to Angle Shooter as a combo tool is nice, but I'm gonna be real with you here: I don't think the 3 extra seconds of sprinkler's proper painting mode is gonna go a long way. It's just not. The fact that this is the most popular sub weapon is INEXCUSABLE. Get it together, man.

This I can actually get behind of. I find the Super Chump and TriZooka buffs and the Inkjet nerfs promising, HOPEFULLY being a stepping stone to Splatoon 3's best meta in the future... But with these shooter buffs, the threat of a shooter meta might be right ahead of us... But until then, this is a mixed patch. Better than a negative one! :D

All-Stars -Story Mode- [CHAPTER 3]

I thought I put the third chapter before Day 45 is over, this day had been quite inspiring thanks to the people I had tagged and re-edited the forth chapter. So give @gulliblepineapples and @sampoststuff a lot of thanks. 🤭 I hope you guys won’t mind if I had put your ideas in the story. Still, I’ll do Day 46 when the clock strikes 12. So, be expecting it later. I hope you guys enjoy.

[EDITED]

-Chapter 3-

Frisk found themself not been able to control their body and gotten scared once they realized they had also a knife in their hands and it was stained in crimson liquid, they knew it was the blood of their victims as they reached the hallway that is colored with gold and orange.

They had reached the SAVE file and saved the progress as they looked at it in horror.

[Chara, Level 19 HP 92/92, Judgement Hall] 1 left…

Frisk fought for control as the entity that’s doing this then processed to through the hallway like it knew this was going to happened. Frisk walked until a figure stepped in, a short skeleton in unzipped blue hoodie with white t-shirt/sweater along with the black shorts with white stripes and had a pair of sneakers/slippers. He had appeared out of nowhere like a ghost but Frisk knew is going to happen next.

‘’Heya… you’ve been busy, huh?’’ the skeleton began, Frisk was shaking with the thought of needed to wake up before they could get into a battle with Sans.

‘’So, i’ve gotten a question for ya. Do you think even the worse person can change? And anyone can be a good person if they just try?’’ Sans asked to the fallen human, whom took a step forward towards him, making him laugh at this threat.

‘’Hehe… okay, i’ve gotten a better question for ya: wanna have a bad time? Because if you take another step forward, you really not gonna like what happens next…’’ He threaten with his eye sockets black as the dark.

Frisk struggled to not to go forward but, a demon in them… made them take another step forward towards Sans, crossing the line.

‘’Welp… sorry old lady, this is why i never make promises…’’ Sans said everything around them had turned white and black as the colors fade away, Sans, had always been a skeleton, keep a grin on his face.

In these words he spoke ‘’It’s a beautiful day outside... birds are singing… flowers are blooming… on days like these, kids like you…’’ then raised his left hand as his eye had cyan-yellow pupil and glowed with wraith of justice after patience had drained from it as he finished this sentence of the previous.

‘’S H O U L D B E B U R N I N G I N H E L L .’’

Then the human felt gravity betrayed them as they flew up to the ceiling and down to the floor then to the walls as they avoided the bones.

Frisk struggled, begged, pleaded or anything they could but the demon, _ _ _ _ _ was thrilled, they truly loved every time they both died and reset to fight Sans, each time he dodges their attacks. Oh! How they wished this moment could last forever.

Sans was getting tired after dodging so, he had to hold the human down to the floor with his magic gripping tight on their soul. But he gotten so tired, he fell asleep and allowed the human to attack but the skeleton suddenly woke and dodged it on time.

‘’Did you really think you really could-’’ Sans asked but he was interrupted by a sudden attack from _ _ _ _ _ themself, Sans was slashed across the chest and blood begins to bleed out as he held the fatal wound.

‘’So…’’ he spoke with his final breathes ripping out, ‘’i guess this is it? Huh? Just didn’t say i didn’t warn you…’’

_ _ _ _ _ was expected more from him but Sans stood up and walked away with a limp as he said ‘’Welp… i’m heading for Gribbly’s… Papyrus? Do you want anything?’’

Frisk, in pure sorrow, screamed as Sans is reduced to nothing but dust…

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Frisk was jolted awake from the nightmare by Cuphead shaking them to wake them, Frisk looked around and realized their still in the bunker, then… they cried as Cuphead looked at them with confused painted on his face.

‘’F-frisk? Are you alright? It looked you just fought a demon in you.’’ Cuphead said to Frisk then suddenly been pulled into a hug by the human. ‘’Frisk… You had a nightmare?’’ Cuphead asked, Frisk nodded as Cuphead hugged back ‘’I… I can tell that it’s not a pretty one…’’ he said, comforting the human child.

‘’Cups? Frisk?’’ Mugman said as he enters the room after he heard the crying, ‘Is everything alright? I heard crying.’’ he said as Frisk continued crying while Cuphead turned his head towards his brother.

‘’Frisk had a nightmare, I am not sure what it was but I can tell it’s not a very good kind.’’ Cuphead explained, Mugman looked at them and said ‘’I never thought they would have one. Specially with a very bad one.’’

‘’I know Mugs,’’ Cuphead said ‘’Is Boris making breakfast yet?’’

‘’I guess he is making it right now, Bendy said that he can help him with that.’’ Mugman spoke, ‘’As long if Bendy doesn’t destroy anything while doing it.’’

‘’Well, can you least tell us what that nightmare is all about Frisk, we can keep it a secret, we can promised that.’’ Cuphead asked, but Frisk just shook their head.

The two brothers looked at each other as Frisk continued crying their eyes out then back at Frisk, Cuphead comforting Frisk a little longer as he said ‘’If you don’t want to talk about, then it’s alright to not talk about. Okay? How about breakfast first?’’

Frisk nods to the thought of eating breakfast first, but first they gently pushed Cuphead away and rubs their eyes to pull themself together after that moment.

Mugman smiled warmly as Frisk pulled themself back together and Cuphead gently smacked them on the back as they climbed down from the top bunk and into the living room, the smell of bacon and eggs filled the air for the trio to smell it with their tongues licked their lips.

At the wooden wire spool table is Bendy placing forks and knives on the tables as he sings a song as he felt it was related to him somehow, he sung the verse he liked.

‘’I am alive, Immortalized. You're the creator, you traitor. Hey! There's no vaccine to cure your dirty needs, for now you must build up our machine. You die tonight!~’’

Frisk walked to Bendy with curiosity in their heart as Bendy finished up setting things up, Bendy brushes his gloved hands off and stop to admire his work when he felt a tap on his shoulder. ‘’Hmm?’’ He murmured as he turned around and sees Frisk standing behind him.

Bendy smiled and he said ‘’Hey Frisk! Morning, I just finished setting the forks and knives on the table. You are welcomed to wait for breakfast if you like.’’

>[What song were you singing?] [Okay then.]

>[What song were you singing?]<

‘’That song?’’ Bendy said ‘’I am not sure but I think that the title of it is ‘’Build Our Machine’’ sung by someone named Will Ryan or other. I just think it’s catchy for me, ya think?’’

>[I think it suits you well.] [Good luck with that then.]

>[I think it suits you well]<

Bendy blushed, ‘’Awww. You think? Hehehe… Thanks. I’ll keep that in mind,’’ he complimented as he walked over to his seat at the table as Frisk walked over to the chair beside him.

Cuphead and Mugman walked over and sat with Bendy and Frisk as Boris finished making the breakfast and passed out ot everyone on the table as well with his own.

They all giggled and laughed while they ate breakfast, they enjoyed their morning as they gotten ready for the day ahead to go back up to the surface. ‘’Are you sure you don’t want to come with us Bendy?’’ Cuphead asked to the Ink Demon, ‘’I am sure that we can use an extra hand with the supplies.’’

‘’Nope, I‘m sorry but someone needs to be on the other side of the door so they can opened it from the inside of the bunker.’’ Bendy answered, ‘’Well, alright, I am not going to stop you. We will be alright when he get back.’’ Cuphead explained, to winch Bendy nods.

With Boris by their side, they made it up the ladder and into the surface and back to the old abandoned elderly home. They looked outside through the boarded-up window and sees that it’s now partly cloudy as the sun poured through the clouds, they smiled as they are glad that the ray of hope is still there like they had been through a nuclear fallout and come out from that unscleathed.

But there’s no time to admire the light in the sky, they had to search for supplies then returned to the bunker. They were aware of the soldiers as well with zombies while they walked down the ruined streets of the 80-year old war torn town with Boris leading the way. Tommy gun in the wolf’s possession.

They all looked around at the surroundings, they could see cars that had nearly been rusted over, buildings remained vacant and empty of life but it does looked like it had been evacuated when a war had just started unexpectedly.

They hid behind fallen pillars, broken cars and inside of the most nearly destroyed buildings to keep out of sight of the Helghan soldiers so they can’t see them all being really there.

They had gone to the stores and looked around for anything, ‘’Is there anyone like us here?’’ Mugman asked to his brother, ‘’I’m not sure Mugs,’’ Cuphead began ‘’If there are different people that we’ve never encountered before then there’s nothing we can handle.’’

‘’And about those zombies… if they were dead and try to kill us, then I am sure we can be handle this if things go wrong.’’ Mugman said to his brother, ‘’if there are anyone trying to survive out there, we’ll find them.’’ Cuphead said as he looked around.

They were walking around for about 2 hours till they found the food and water. They were about to head back until they heard voices, thirteen voices from far, 12 of them males and one muffed by some kind of a gas mask.

They wondered on who they are and decided to check them out but with caution, they crawled down on the the dusty ground and made their way to the cliff as their viewing point.

When they got to the cliff and looked down, the two cup brothers saw the most unusual thing they had ever saw in their lives.

There are a crew of 13 men but one of them, they can’t make out if the one in the gas mask is a male or a female.

There are two Germans, one in the a leather vest with blood vials wrapped around his chest, he had green-blue eyes and dark black hair that is crown-chopped, with a cut on his cheek under his left eye and was wearing a dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up, a leather vest with straps that seemed too tight around his chest with one of them had vials of blood with numbers labeled on them, blackish blue pants with red lines going down to his strapped boots, he had a pouched on his side of waist with a some type of pumping device attached in it. who is talking to what appears to be a field medic but wears a doctor’s coat with medical emblem on each sleeves and wore glasses over his blue eyes and he had a strange-looking backpack-like device on his his back. They can tell they are Germans because of their language and it reminded the two brothers of Werner Werman who happened to be a literal rat.

Then there are two Russians, one had a mustache and a beard, ocean blue eyes, wearing a bulletproof chest plate and a pilot helmet with goggles while other is a giant bald man with a Bavcon, belt of bullets going across his chest and wears a red t-shirt with a vest going over it, also talking in their language.

Four more men are Americans, one of them has a brown hair, sky blue eyes and a mustache, brown jacket, t-shirt, yellowish green pants and wore gloves with weird transmission device on his wrist,

other one is a man that appears to be a soldier with a helmet nearly covering his eyes, with a red jacket with rocket emblems on each sleeves like the medic had,

same thing goes to the other one that is a Texan with the wrench emblems like the previous two, he has a construction helmet that is backwards and wears goggles that hardy revealed his eyes, wore a shirt and overalls with one glove on right hand and the last one in their group is a young man with a cap with an headset, he had sky blue eyes like the first one but unlike him, he had a backpack with a strap across his chest as he had his hands had been bandaged and had pants with socks and shoes, he had red shirt with sleeves rolled up to his shoulders and had buck teeth. He looked like a baseball player.

One of them is Asian with green shirt but with the sleeves ripped off and with the goggles around his neck as his hands are bandaged like the other and he has a katana sword by his side, he had brown eyes and his coal black hair had tied into a bun, like the american and Russian, had mustache and short beard.

He appears to be avoiding the other man sharpening his kukri, that’s taller than him as he wore a hat with one end bended up and sunglasses, red button-up shirt with emblems like the others and the vest with bullets in the vest’s upper pocket, rifle case on his back with a sniper rifle in it, grayish-green pants and shoes. He is muttering something under his breath as he continued on sharpening his weapon while avoiding the Asian as well as they sat against the old rusted truck.

Other man is wearing some kind of a mask that only revealed his evening sky blue eyes, eyebrows and his mouth, wearing the sharp suit, black gloves and shoes. He is smoking a cigarette as he seemed to be busy.

The next man is black african with an eye patch covering his left eye and wore a cotton beanie on his head, he wore some kind of demolitions expert protection clothing/uniform with six pipe bombs on his chest, he still had his good brown eye to make bombs on the nearby wooden wire spool table with a claymore sword on his back.

Last one in the group with the gender is still yet undetermined, they were wearing a gas mask and a red fireproof suit with flare grenades on the strap across their chest with boots and gloves, they just sat down and watch a dead body burn with their legs crossed, seemed to admire the flames.

Most of them are talking among each other while others stood in silence, till one of the group with the sunglasses muttered ‘’Bloody hell, this is strange…’’ in the Australian accent, that caught the Asian's attention as he turned to face him.

‘’What do you mean Sniper?’’ the Asian in a Japanese accent said, ‘’I’d expected there would be people here in this bloody backwater town but no one’s here.’’ now named Australian answered, ‘’There’s no one here, no sounds of the city nor cars but only things that are here: are a bloody army from outer space and walking dead wankers with no life here mate, I am not sure if this is the world we knew anymore Takeo.’’

‘’I know Sniper,’’ now named Takeo said looking down at the ground, ‘’But I am from mine and now, somehow in fate, we end up here by an unknown force.’’

‘’Yeah yeah…’’ Sniper muttered as he stopped sharpening his kurki then looked at him,

‘’You know, it’s not the first time I have ever been to other world nor timeline,’’ Sniper stated, ‘’We were like you wankers, but it was in the bloody medieval times and there wasn’t like ours when Soldier had angered a wizard. Demoman was the one that helped us win against the BLUs in Degroot Keep castle. Now we both it’s now different than that, expect this time there’s no bloody wizard…’’

Takeo nodded as he understood this situation they were in, then looked over to the figure who is staring at the fire, very focus in fact, as he asked ‘’Your friend is very strange, do they?’’.

‘’Ya mean Pyro?’’ Sniper said as he looked the gas-masked figure, ‘’Yeah they are mate, we wish we knew why they like the fire so much. I guess they just like burning anything they could find on the ground.’’

‘’True but we both know that it’s your team’s responsibility to watch them,’’ Takeo stricted to the tall Australian, ‘’To watch them to make sure they don’t accidentally burn someone in their way unless it’s an enemy.’’

‘’Yes we know, Pyro is our pyro and our responsibility for this.’’ Sniper said as the German with emerald green eyes looked in their way. ‘’Is your Pyro always like zhis?’’ he asked, ‘’Of course zhey are, Herr Richtofen.’’ the one in the doctor’s coat answered. ‘’Vell, at least we still had time for zhis. Do remind me again, vho are ve going to rescue from zhe other vorldly soldiers?’’ Richtofen asked.

‘’Zhe fräulein named Mrs. Pauling, she vas zhe one vho hired us und now coming to her rescue as any mercenary vould do.’’ the doctor answered, ‘’Ah yes, now I remember Medic but still; I cant believe zhat zhis is happening.’’ Richtofen said, Medic nodded.

‘’Well, we are all in this whole mess of f****ups together,’’ The man in the suit said in a french accent ‘’But I can’t believe that we all managed to survive this long without one of our own dying from a zombie or the enemy we’re up against. Even the ones who are from different timelines.’’ as that sentence caught the man in the jacket’s attention as he turned to look at him.

‘’Better watch your mouth there Spy.’’ he said, ‘’Keep talking like that would get you even more trouble than that.’’

‘’Tank, come on man! We’re already gotten into even more trouble than that! With soldiers and zombies runnin’ around, we’re all going to die out there for sure!’’ Other in the cap said till one in the helmet yelled ‘’Don’t you dare to lose faith in everything Private! We are going to survive this war!’’

‘’Yeah, like you know what it was.’’ he said as he grinned like it’s no big deal but in reality it was.

‘’Boys, arguing isn’t gonna get us anywhere and if they come waltzing here, it’s just gonna keep happening and happening.’’ the one in the hard hat said in a Texan accent.

‘’Little Engineer is right about it.’’ the giant Russian said, ‘’Arguing is for babies, working together is now full time job if we are going to survive problem.’’

‘’I agree with Heavy, there is no point to argue.’’ The other Russian said with a strict yet concerned look on his face, Tank and Spy looked at each other for a minute before turning their glazes away from each other.

Boris, Cuphead, Mugman and Frisk are all up on the cliff, just listening to what was going on from above. Different world? Are they really been taken from theirs and then brought there?

That explains the town had been abandoned for quite long time but can something else explain the reason they were here?

As for the 13 men we had met, I know what you were wondering the same thought how they met, let’s do a flashback thing, will we?

Sharyn Alfonsi (BA 94) isn’t one to get rattled or star-struck, but hearing the voice of her childhood TV star crush outside the hair and makeup room as she prepared to guest anchor “Good Morning America” had just that effect.

“I heard a voice I knew I recognized, and it was Kirk Cameron,” she says. “I loved Kirk Cameron growing up. I had rollers in my hair, and I was like, ‘Get these rollers out, I have to see Kirk Cameron!’ I was so goofy and excited to meet him.”

Now a lead correspondent for CBS’ “60 Minutes Sports,” Alfonsi has enjoyed a busy journalism career, traveling the world and tackling assignments with a mixture of seriousness and humor, awe and toughness, humility and confidence.

Friend and colleague Mike Solmsen, senior producer for “CBS Evening News,” was impressed with Alfonsi’s talent and wit from the first time he met her in 2003.

“She’s kind of a ball to work with,” Solmsen says. “She’s not happy unless she’s getting dirty and meeting people. She’s very funny, disarming and always the first with a joke. Sharyn’s also a great writer and willing to do anything it takes to get the job done. There aren’t many reporters who are totally at ease living out of an RV, riding a tractor, covering a war in Israel, interviewing Martha Stewart, Willie Nelson or Bill Clinton. She’s at ease in all those places and with all those people.”

A native of McLean, Va., Alfonsi knew from an early age she possessed a knack for stealing the show in front of a camera.

“My parents have videotapes from when I was 10 or so of me and my brother doing the news,” Alfonsi says. “They’re really embarrassing, but I guess that’s when the seed was planted. As a kid, appointment viewing in our house was football and ‘60 Minutes,’ so I always watched ‘60 Minutes’ from the time I was little.”

A natural athlete, Alfonsi graduated from McLean High School in 1990 with her sights set on Ole Miss’ track-and-field program. She enrolled the following fall with an interest in studying journalism.

“The first time I visited Ole Miss, I knew that’s where I was going,” Alfonsi says. “I wanted to go to school in the SEC and was visiting other schools for athletics. Ole Miss was just kind of along the way, and so we stopped in and thought, ‘Hey, this is nice.’ I ran track for four years and did gymnastics through the club program as well.”

A member of Delta Gamma Fraternity and a James Love scholar, Alfonsi enjoyed football games and tailgating. But perhaps the most memorable and formative time she spent at the university was in Farley Hall’s Student Media Center.

“I worked at the college station at the time called ‘News Team 12,’” Alfonsi says. “I auditioned when I was a freshman and was a horrendous weather girl for a couple of years. Then they let me anchor the news, run the teleprompter and kind of do a little bit of everything.”

Alfonsi is best remembered by her former co-anchor for her incredible sense of humor.

“First of all, she was special,” says Wilson Stribling (BBA 94), morning news anchor and reporter at WLBT in Jackson. “When I first got to know her, we were summer school students at Ole Miss. She was a mainstay at the station already, and we got to be good friends. She was funny, bright, driven and had all of those characteristics of somebody you feel is going to be successful. She was so much fun to be around.”

Alfonsi’s experience both behind and in front of the camera at “News Team 12” laid the groundwork for a thriving journalism career that continues to evolve, but her path to “60 Minutes” was met with the typical rigors and daily grind most aspiring reporters experience.

“The way it used to work is you would send out resumé tapes with a label on it that had your name and contact information to news stations,” Alfonsi says. “Most people would just put it in a pile or reject it, but some news directors would send back notes.

“Some would say you have too much of a Southern accent or you really need to cut your hair – you heard it all. One person actually said I looked too equine. People are rough on you and think you’re bulletproof. They forget that there’s a person inside, but the result is you get really tough. It’s so hard at first and takes a lot of hours making no money. But you kind of see what you’re made of and if you’re into it.”

Reporting Live

Alfonsi with Zdeno Chara, Boston Bruins defenseman

Alfonsi landed her first job out of college in 1994 at affiliate station KHBS-TV in Fort Smith, Ark., serving as a weekday reporter and weekend weather forecaster.

After a brief stint in Arkansas, she spent the next several years building her resumé, working for local markets in Rhode Island, Virginia, Seattle and Boston, covering career-defining stories such as the Catholic Church sex-abuse scandal, Michael Skakel trial, Rhode Island nightclub fire and World Trade Organization riots.

Soon Alfonsi got the break she had been looking for with CBS Network – laying the foundation for an extensive career in network broadcast journalism.

“I worked for affiliate ‘CBS Newspath’ doing 150 live shots a day for people at all the different CBS stations,” Alfonsi says. “After ‘Newspath,’ I got hired to do the weekend ‘CBS Evening News’ as a reporter under Dan Rather. I remember the first time I sat behind the ‘CBS Evening News’ desk, which is Walter Cronkite’s desk. The music came on that plays in the beginning of the newscast, and I got chill bumps. That’s when it hit me that I was going to anchor the news. It was a great moment.”

Alfonsi stayed with CBS for several years, covering numerous national stories during her time as a correspondent including the school shootings at Virginia Tech and the war in Iraq.

In 2006, she reported from the Israel-Lebanon border covering the war with Hezbollah and, later, the violence in Gaza. She served as substitute anchor for the “CBS Evening News” weekend edition and appeared regularly on “CBS News Sunday Morning.”

Alfonsi left CBS to join ABC News in 2008 as a New York-based correspondent for “World News Tonight,” “Nightline” and “Good Morning America.”

Then CBS came calling. Again.

Tick, Tick, Tick

“CBS was starting this ‘60 Minutes Sports’ show and asked if I wanted to come back to do it,” Alfonsi says. “I couldn’t say yes fast enough. I started doing ‘60 Minutes Sports’ in 2012, and that’s turned into kind of filling in and anchoring across the street whenever they need me.”

On March 1, 2015, Alfonsi reached yet another career-defining moment, making her debut on CBS’ “60 Minutes” with an investigative story about fraud after Hurricane Sandy.

“Being on ‘60 Minutes’ was a dream that I couldn’t even say out loud, so that was pretty amazing for me,” Alfonsi says. “I got so sick the week before that I had to get a steroid shot just so I could speak. It was three days before the story was supposed to air, and I had no voice. I thought, ‘Well, God has a sense of humor.’

“That was a dream, and I loved the story because it was about fraud and corruption. We were able to give a voice to a lot of people who had been quietly and not so quietly suffering. That’s why you work late and get up early – because there are stories that need to be told.”

Alfonsi with reporter Jay Nix at the 2014 White House Correspondents Dinner

Former co-anchor Stribling couldn’t be happier to see his friend’s career grow over the years.

“It didn’t surprise me when she went on to do big TV jobs, hopscotching her way across the country,” Stribling says. “I was thrilled when she ended up at CBS the first time around and then at ABC, and now to be on ‘60 Minutes’ is, of course, the pinnacle of journalism. It’s a thrill to see her doing that and to tell people in my newsroom when she pops up on the TV monitor that the first time I was ever on TV was right next to her.”

Coming Home

While Alfonsi’s assignments have led her around the world covering international news, she hasn’t forgotten the impact that small-town Oxford and Ole Miss had on her career.

“There’s no way I would be where I am today without Ole Miss,” Alfonsi says. “The school gave me a platform to figure it out enough to get my first job. That campus TV station that we thought no one was watching turned out to be pretty good practice for four years. I truly believe that Ole Miss has one of the best journalism (schools) in the country. There was always plenty of opportunity.”

On May 11, 2013, Alfonsi returned to Oxford to give the commencement address for the Meek School of Journalism and New Media, securing a National Public Radio nod as one of “The Best Commencement Speeches, Ever.”

“When I was asked to speak, I literally thought, ‘You must be kidding,’” Alfonsi says. “It was so fun and just great to be back in Oxford. Some of the graduates I spoke to have kept in touch, and that’s really cool.”

Alfonsi credits two UM professors in particular for having a hand in developing her into the journalist she is today.

“Dr. Jim Pratt, who has passed away, was always a big cheerleader along with Ralph Braseth (MA 92, EdD 96), who was a journalism professor,” Alfonsi says. “The night of my ‘60 Minutes’ debut, I got an email from [Braseth] that almost made me cry. He told me he was proud of me, and out of everybody I heard from, he was the one I wanted to impress. He was great and always encouraged us to try things.”

Seasoned Advice

While the demanding, ever-changing schedule that comes along with being a news reporter can be challenging, and sleep-filled nights are few and far between, Alfonsi wouldn’t have it any other way.

“I love not being in an office,” Alfonsi says. “Being out and talking to people are the same things that drew me to the job from the first day. It’s a blast. I’ve gone places I never thought I would go and get access to things I never should have access to. In this job, you can ask people questions without generally offending anybody, and that’s kind of amazing.”

In an industry historically dominated by men, Alfonsi knows she wouldn’t be where she is today without several successful women forging the way.

The halls of “60 Minutes” have seen the likes of broadcast journalists Meredith Vieira, Diane Sawyer and Lesley Stahl, to name a few.

“I have very distinct memories of watching Meredith Vieira when I was young, who was one of the few women to be on ‘60 Minutes,’” Alfonsi says. “I remember her doing an interview with [hotelier] Steve Wynn, where she asked him a question, and he flips out, pulls the mic off and walks out. I remember thinking, ‘Whoa, that’s the power of a really good question.’ I watched her and Diane Sawyer and admired them, but I didn’t have the confidence to ever think that I could do those things. But I knew I’d like to try.”

Friend and colleague Mike Solmsen, senior producer for “CBS Evening News,” was impressed with Alfonsi’s talent and wit from the first time he met her in 2003.

A native of McLean, Va., Alfonsi knew from an early age she possessed a knack for stealing the show in front of a camera.

Alfonsi landed her first job out of college in 1994 at affiliate station KHBS-TV in Fort Smith, Ark., serving as a weekday reporter and weekend weather forecaster.

Soon Alfonsi got the break she had been looking for with CBS Network – laying the foundation for an extensive career in network broadcast journalism.

Alfonsi stayed with CBS for several years, covering numerous national stories during her time as a correspondent including the school shootings at Virginia Tech and the war in Iraq.

Alfonsi left CBS to join ABC News in 2008 as a New York-based correspondent for “World News Tonight,” “Nightline” and “Good Morning America.”

Then CBS came calling. Again.

Tick, Tick, Tick

On March 1, 2015, Alfonsi reached yet another career-defining moment, making her debut on CBS’ “60 Minutes” with an investigative story about fraud after Hurricane Sandy.

Former co-anchor Stribling couldn’t be happier to see his friend’s career grow over the years.

Coming Home

While Alfonsi’s assignments have led her around the world covering international news, she hasn’t forgotten the impact that small-town Oxford and Ole Miss had on her career.

Alfonsi credits two UM professors in particular for having a hand in developing her into the journalist she is today.

While the demanding, ever-changing schedule that comes along with being a news reporter can be challenging, and sleep-filled nights are few and far between, Alfonsi wouldn’t have it any other way.

In an industry historically dominated by men, Alfonsi knows she wouldn’t be where she is today without several successful women forging the way.

The halls of “60 Minutes” have seen the likes of broadcast journalists Meredith Vieira, Diane Sawyer and Lesley Stahl, to name a few.
