Dianna Russini is back, with the NFL reporter starting up on social media again and hosting a new show, The Russini Report, which aired its first episode on Wednesday.
And while she didn't bring up the Mike Vrabel scandal, her first guest -- Damon Amendolara -- did in what was a cringey moment.
He joked about the memes that have been made about Russini, who said, "I do think the AI version of me is like an L.A. 10. That's the way I want to look."
Then, he said his favorite meme was the AI version of the Charlie Wilson Tiny Desk starring Vrabel, Patriots players and Russini on saxophone. It felt like a cringey moment.
Russini played it off, though: "The joke I had about it was I actually play the saxophone!"
😂 @DMRussini has seen a bunch of your
memes… and she's got THOUGHTS! She actually wishes she had the nose from her AI-generated version! 📺 Watch the full show: https://t.co/6M35HOJrG6 🎷 And that Tiny Desk meme? Apparently, Dianna played the saxophone! pic.twitter.com/zDNfs3GB6k
