"What I liked about Fox were the people," E.D. Hill, who went by E.D. Donahey in the late '90s, told host Josh Levin for the second episode of Slow Burn: The Rise of Fox News. She added: "Most network-level places are not happy, fun places. People are fairly miserable, and they're all out to get each other. And it was the opposite at Fox."
In 1998, Fox X-Press held a contest to see if viewers could come up with a better name for the show. The winning entry from a pool of thousands came from a couple in central Florida, who appeared on the morning show to explain their brainstorm. (According to the Orlando Sentinel, they also saw Jekyll & Hyde on Broadway and went to a Yankees game when they came up to New York City for the taping.)
"Well, it, it has one of those double meanings at the time," explained John Strange.
