Former KHOU reporter Faxas singing, acting, hawking Miracle Lid
Remember former KHOU-11 reporter Eileen Faxas?
Chron columnist Ken Hoffman saw her in an informercial recently:
So I’m watching Chef Nick use the Miracle Lid to cook pasta with no water, while his sidekick hostess gasps with amazement and gushes over each bite like she hasn’t eaten in a month. You know, it’s the typical infomercial team. The experienced male expert and the wide-eyed female host who can’t believe what amazing events are taking place, all because of this earth-shattering product that could be on my doorstep in 4 to 6 weeks.
Then, as I’m watching, it suddenly hits me …
Hey! I know that woman! The one who can’t believe you can make a delicious pot roast with less fat, less oil, in half the time, from frozen to fabulous in under 30 minutes!
Hey! I know that woman! The one who can’t believe you can make a delicious pot roast with less fat, less oil, in half the time, from frozen to fabulous in under 30 minutes!
That’s Eileen Faxas, the former reporter on Channel 11 News.
She’s doing infomercials now?
“Yes, that’s me, but I’m doing a lot of things now, not just that,” she says. “I live in Miami, and I’m recording my second CD, and I’m about to perform in the first Florida production of Les Mis érables, and later this week I’ll know if I am cast as the lead in another musical,” Faxas says.
Faxas worked on Channel 11 News from 1998 to 2005. She was one of the Defenders, sticking up for the little guy in his daily battle against the world.
When she left, she told Channel 11, simply, “I want to go sing.”
Small world, eh?
