TRIVIA:

She has stated in interviews that she was adamantly against the trashy, 'Jerry Springer' (qv)-inspired direction that the content of her talk-show was taking in its later years. She states that she was under constant pressure from network execs looking for big ratings and, rather than quit, stayed on for the benefit of her long-time co-workers, whom she considered family.
Had corrective laser eye surgery, so she longer needs to wear prescription glasses. However, Sally says she still wears her trademark red-framed glasses at the behest of her producers. Not True. Never had surgery.
The source of her famous red-framed glasses goes all the way back to her first broadcast news job. She was about to start taping on her first day of work when she tripped, breaking her glasses in the process. With only minutes before taping, she raced to the nearest store to find a replacement pair. She found that the only pair that matched her prescription was cheaply made, with red frames. This soon became her trademark.
