Dermatologist delivers skin cancer diagnosis to TV host live

A Fox News TV host was left stunned after discovering he has skin cancer while live on air. Mike Jerrick (pictured), co-host of Good Day Philadelphia, brought dermatologist, Dr. Joanna Walker, on air before the pair discovered a likely-cancerous spot on the hosts' elbow.
Walker reassured him that it was 'very treatable,' as it is one of the more 'slow growing' types of skin cancer. She told the host that he would need to have the spot removed, to which he asked: 'What are you gonna do to it? Burn it off?'
'This one probably needs to be cut and stitched,' Walker said. 'What!' Jerrick exclaimed. 'And then stich me up? So this one is a very slow growing type of skin cancer, it's not gonna spread to anywhere else on your body,' Walker said. 'But it needs to be removed so it doesn't keep growing and taking over normal skin,' 'Oh, good lord,' Jerrick responded.
He further told Fox News that he was entirely shocked by the discovery. 'I did say that we should have had her bring her [micro]scope because I wanted to check out of couple of things on my arms, so that part was planned,' he said. 'But I never really thought it was going to be skin cancer.'
His co-host Alex Holley asked if he needed to make an appointment fairly soon, to which Walker firmly said that he should. 'When she blurted it out, I didn't get alarmed or anything,' Jerrick said. 'It was just like, "Oh dang, I should have done this a long time ago."' 'I was more shocked that she said she was going to cut it out instead of burn it off- that's where I got surprised,' he added.

She's got a music career and is a Fox News host...can you name this Trump family member?

She also has a regular segment on Fox News and recently released a single The 42-year-old conservative figure has direct access to the White House She's a singer, a television host and a mom-of-two - but do you know who this leggy blonde is? The 42-year-old conservative figure has direct access to the White House and a regular segment on Fox News - and even her own column and segment. While most members of the general public can name and identify many members of the Trump family - such as the U.S. President's wife Melania, and their son Barron - other members are not as easy to name, especially in throwback photos. So, can you name what member of the Trump family is in the photo? It's Lara Trump - the wife of Eric Trump, the third child of U.S. President Donald Trump. Before the White House and Washington D.C., Lara Trump - née Yunaska - worked as a TV producer job at Inside Edition. The Fox News personality, who hosts the weekend show My View with Lara Trump, has been married to Eric Trump since 2014, with the businessman popping the question after six years of dating. The pair, who reside in Jupiter, Florida, with their two young children, met in 2008 while out with friends and began dating three months later. The 42-year-old conservative figure has direct access to the White House and a regular segment on Fox News - even her own column and segment Lara ended up switching her career, going from TV producing to working for her father-in-law's campaign. In March 2017, she was officially hired as a senior consultant for the Trump reelection campaign, and also started producing and hosting the weekly Real News Update, giving updates on the Trump presidency on Facebook in 2017. In August 2020, Lara spoke at the Republican National Convention, calling the Trump family 'warm and caring.' 'My seventh-grade English teacher, Mrs. Bee, used to tell us, "Believe none of what you hear, half of what you read, and only what you're there to witness firsthand." The meaning of those words never fully weighed on me until I met my husband and the Trump family,' she gushed during her speech. The proud family member continued: 'Any preconceived notion I had of this family disappeared immediately. They were warm and caring. They were hard workers and they were down to earth. They reminded me of my own family. They made me feel like I was home.' Lara started working as a paid contributor for Fox News in March 2021. However, she left in December 2022 after Trump announced his third presidential campaign in 2024. As per AP, Lara served as the co-chair of the Republican National Committee from March to December 2024, with the publication naming her a 'key player' in aiding the Republican party in being reelected in the White House and securing control of the Senate. She won't seek a seat in the U.S. Senate for her home state of North Carolina, and instead, will support her former colleague and Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Whatley in his bid for the seat, a spokesperson for the president's daughter-in-law told the Daily Mail. Before the White House and Washington D.C., Lara Trump - née Yunaska - worked as a TV producer job at Inside Edition. Pictured in the White House in 2025 Lara and Eric also share two children, welcoming their eldest child, Eric 'Luke' Trump', in September 2017 and Carolina Dorothy Trump in 2019 Eric, Lara,, Donald, Barron, Melania, Vanessa, Kai, Donald Jr., Donald John III, and Ivanka Trump pose for photos on stage after Donald Trump announced his candidacy for the U.S. presidency at Trump Tower on June 16, 2015 The pair, who reside in Jupiter, Florida, with their two young children, met in 2008 while out with friends and began dating three months later. Pictured in November, 2008 The mom-of-two is also dipping into a singing career, announcing the release of her latest single, Eyes of God, produced by Miami-based independent entertainment company First Class Label Group. As per FOX5, the 'faith-inspired' track is now available on all major streaming platforms and will headline her upcoming debut album, Just Lara, which officially drops August 2025. Lara and Eric also share two children, welcoming their eldest child, Eric 'Luke' Trump, in September 2017, three years after they tied the knot. Eric made the announcement on X (formerly Twitter), writing: '[Lara] and I are excited to announce the birth of our son, Eric 'Luke' Trump at 8:50 this morning,' he wrote, sharing the first photo of their newborn. In 2019, Lara announced her second pregnancy and the couple welcomed the couple's daughter, Carolina Dorothy Trump. Eric also announced their daughter's birth to X in August 2019, writing: '@LaraLeaTrump and I are excited to welcome Carolina Dorothy Trump into the world. We love you already!' Luke and Carolina are Trump's 9th and 10th grandchildren, and also his youngest after Donald Trump Jr.'s five kids and Ivanka Trump's three children. Their family home also has ties to the President, with Eric and Lara purchasing a $3.2 million estate in Jupiter, Florida, inside the Trump National Golf Club gated community in 2021. Eric is the youngest of Donald Trump's three children from his first marriage to Ivana Trump. His siblings are Ivanka Trump and Donald Trump Jr. He serves as the executive vice president of the Trump Organization, managing the Trump family's luxury real-estate ventures.
