With his big NBC debut only two weeks away, Tiki Barber is quick to remind everyone that he's no stranger to the television spotlight, or—as he puts it—"it's not like I'm jumping in as a virgin to this." Indeed!

After all, in addition to being a high-profile professional athlete, Tiki was also a morning sports anchor at WCBS-TV in New York (where he first honed his sports metaphors) and a correspondent for FNC's Fox & Friends (where, Tiki admits, he was "just kind of doing it.") Which, incidentally is exactly what Hannity & Colmes said! But while plans to "hit the ground running" as the newest member of the Today show team, there have already been a couple of minor fumbles.

"I have issues with my bald head and how they have to light me," said Barber, who'll turn 32 on Saturday. "The light has to be at my shoulders, otherwise I get a halo effect."

Hmm, "Bald Halo Syndrome?" Well isn't that just the story of Bruce Willis' life! (You know, before he drunkenly made out with Courtney Love—and, somewhat less drunkenly—Drew Barrymore, but after he partied with five coke whores in a single night). Kidding!*

Can't wait to see Tiki's non-virginal debut, though. We're sure he'll wipe the floor with Ann Curry, (or at least with Ann Coulter).
