Ronnie came in to deny reports that he’d been disobeying Howard’s order to ignore this semester’s lone female intern, Katie: “Maybe I said hello.”
Ronnie claimed he’d also stopped calling her “Smiles”–just as Howard had asked: “I don’t call her anything. Maybe if she has to do the [guest] releases, I’ll say ‘Kate.'”
Ronnie did think Katie owed him “big time” for her gig as the fill-in host of Steve Brandano’s Intern Show: “She got all her fame from me.”
Katie (a.k.a. “Smiles”) then came in to echo Ronnie’s account: “Every time he sees me, he’s like, ‘Oh, hello Kate.'”
Katie also confirmed that Ronnie was responsible for her notoriety: “I guess I kind of owe him credit.”
Ronnie seemed unsatisfied, saying Katie’s Intern Show gig wasn’t due to any kind of raw talent: “She’s the only girl here this semester, so she’s getting a lot of attention.”
