See how SEAtoday Editors Alina and Madeline made their KING 5 debut? Very demure, very mindful.

That’s right — if you tuned into KING 5’s New Day Northwest yesterday, you probably noticed two very familiar faces. Alina and Madeline discussed Hot Topics with host Amity and Executive Producer Joseph Suttner.

From internet trends to pop culture moments, the segment’s main topics included:

  • What is SEAtoday anyways? (You all know the answer to this one.)
  • What do we think about Straightaway’s new canned cocktails?
  • Why is Blake Lively facing some heat on her press tour right now?
  • Where did the “very demure” internet trend come from?

Madeline also tried their first pork rind. Take a peak and keep an eye out for more — we’ll be back on your TV screens soon (and that’s a threat).
