Alexis Glick (born in New York, New York on August 7, 1972) is a television personality on the Fox Business Network (FBN), where she serves as an anchor as well as the channel's Vice President of Business News.
She had worked as a temporary host for the third hour of NBC's Today Show in 2006. Glick was also a substitute anchor on Early Today in February 2005 and an occasional anchor on MSNBC Live. Previously, Glick was a senior business correspondent for CNBC. Glick's appearances on Today came to an end, and she was replaced by Natalie Morales. It was announced on September 12, 2006 that Glick would be joining the Fox News Channel as Director of Business News. Glick began appearing on Fox News programming in July of 2007.
Before being removed as a contributor to Today in February 2006, Glick had been considered a possible heir to Katie Couric as host of Today, a post Couric held from 1991-2006. However, Today's executive producer, Jim Bell, called such speculation "nonsense" and said that Glick's increasing face-time on the program is intended to give her greater "experience to be part of the best team in morning TV." [1] When Couric announced her departure from Today to anchor the CBS Evening News, the co-host slot was filled by Meredith Vieira on April 6, 2006.
[edit] Pre-broadcasting career
A New York, NY native, Glick earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Columbia University, and began her career as an analyst at Goldman Sachs in the Equities Division.

She was also one of the top producers on the companies Listed Equity Trading Desk from 1998 through 2001.
She served as Head of the New York Stock Exchange Floor Operations and became the first woman to manage a Floor Operation for a bulge bracket firm. A member of the New York Stock Exchange since September 2002, she was also one of the youngest women to ever achieve the rank of Executive Director at Morgan Stanley.
