Comedienne, YouTube Phe-mom Anita Renfroe Joins ABC’s...
(Nashville, Tenn.) March 20, 2008 – Fans of critically acclaimed comedienne Anita Renfroe, described as “this generation’s Erma Bombeck,” will have the opportunity to see their favorite YouTube “Phe-mom” regularly on ABC’S “Good Morning America.” Renfroe recently signed a national television agreement with the popular, top-rated morning show to become part of the “Good Morning America” family and will appear as a regular segment contributor throughout 2008. Following the debut of her “Bad Hair Days” segment on February 15, Renfroe’s most recent appearance on Monday, March 10 may be viewed at http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=4295982.

Known for her estrogen flavored musical comedy and slightly offbeat take on All Things Female, Renfroe’s first appearance on “Good Morning America” took place last October after a YouTube clip from her “Total Momsense” video, the 2 minute 55 second song about motherhood to the tune of the “William Tell Overture,” went viral. Now seen by over 15 million viewers, the video clip, along with Renfroe’s unique wit and personality, was embraced by the “Good Morning America” audience and staff resulting in subsequent appearances, including “the Breakfast Club” segment with host Diane Sawyer and “Anita’s Estrogen Theatre.” In upcoming comedy segments, Renfroe, as a special contributor, will address issues important to women and crucial to everyday life, such as beauty, mammograms, pantyhose, the ignominy of sweatsuits, fighting for carts at the grocery store, menopausal side effects, etc.


“Once she (Anita) was here on the couch sitting with Diane (Sawyer) and Robin (Roberts) and instantly comfortable, you just knew,” Margo Baumgart, a senior broadcast producer for ABC, said of Renfroe in a recent New York Times feature about the comedienne. “She gets inside the mind of American women. She gets inside moms of all ages. She says the things you think but don’t say. Bottom line, you want to be Anita’s best friend.” (The New York Times, Sunday, February 24.) The entire article can be viewed at http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/24/magazine/24renfroe-t.html?_r=2&oref=slogin&oref=slogin


Renfroe adds, “I am so delighted to be a part of the ‘Good Morning America’ family, although it feels a bit surreal. It's like one day I was in my bathrobe, eating my bagel, drinking my coffee and watching ‘Good Morning America’ in my kitchen and then - poof! - someone pushed me through to the inside of the TV. They still have the bagels and coffee on the ‘Good Morning America’ set, so the only difference is that I'm not allowed to wear my bathrobe on that side of the camera.”


In addition to “Good Morning America”and The New York Times, Renfroe has been featured by such top media outlets as “Dr.Phil,” CBS’s “The Early Show,” Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” XM Satellite Radio Network’s “Oprah & Friends,” Inside Edition, and others. She has also performed in front of more than 400,000 women during the 2007 Women of Faith’s Amazing Freedom conferences, and will again be a featured speaker during this year’s Women of Faith 2008 Infinite Grace conferences hitting 29 cities across the U.S.


Anita Renfroe is a multifaceted creative artist combining comedy, music, speaking and writing. Following the success of her “Total Momsense” project, Renfroe recently completed her newest “live” DVD project entitled, It’s Probably Just My Thyroid, releasing this spring. She is the author of five books: Songs in the Key of Solomon, (co-authored w/ her husband John), If You Can't Lose it, Decorate It, If It's Not One Thing, It's Your Mother, The Purse-Driven Life and The Purse-Driven Christmas. She also has four comedy videos and vocal CDs to her credit, including her current project, Total Momsense, and is featured in an Emmy Award winning episode of Bananas. Renfroe and her husband live in Atlanta and have three children, Calvin, Austin and Elyse.
