REMEMBER WHEN

Where Were You When You Heard Osama Was Dead?

By Trisha B.

Trisha B. NBC ANCHOR BRIAN WILLIAMS WAS DOING "what old people do -- catching up on the Tivo" after enjoying dinner out with his wife -- when he checked his Blackberry and found an email from a senior White House official.

At that very moment, the phone rang and someone told him to "you might want to get in the chair as soon as possible." Then the official spilled the news: "They said we've got OBL and this is 'close hold,' White House parlance for top secret. And the last words this official said were 'Tell no one."

Me? I was taking in Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens. Real Housewife Alexis was his only guest. The other guest, Willie Geist, had left for the newsroom after that President Obama was about to make an announcement. Sooooo, instead of hearing Alexis talk about her undying love for Jim, I learned that Bin Laden was dead. Bye-bye, Andy.

Yesterday was one of those days you’ll remember where you heard the news for the rest of your life. Oh, God.

Where were you?
