Remember Stephanie Abrams from our Hot Girls of the Weather Channel report? Well, the correspondent proved this morning that she's just as resourceful as she is easy on the eyes, when she broadcasted the morning weather live from an elevator. In addition to field-reporting and covering the 2010 Winter Olympics, she's also apparently Al Roker's fill-in weather girl on the "Today Show." Abrams was scheduled to make a cameo on this morning's program from 30 Rockefeller Plaza, which is across the street from the "Today'"s street-level studios.
Instead, with minutes to spare before the broadcast was due to go out live, the elevator Stephanie was riding in broke down. (Our general suspicion is that it was somehow Tracy Morgan's fault.)
With no one else on the show able to wave vaguely at a green screen, Abrams called her producer, who decided to have her broadcast the report from inside the 30 Rock elevator.
Luckily, around 8 a.m., Abrams was "rescued" from the treacherous machine by a maintenance team. The comely correspondent then Tweeted about it, writing "We are OUT and GTG!! first time stuck in elevator! who else has that happened to....stories? in 140 characters or less of course! ha."
Keep reading for the full clip of Abrams gamely doing the weather live without a teleprompter.

It's time that NBC canned this program. I certainly does not peak my interest.

I adore Roker and Abrams.
I wish they could join Sam Champion on my preferred show GMA.

Poor Stephine! She couldn't do the weather on another channel when the storms came up, because she would get blown all over the camera sites! Now, she gets stuck in an elevator!

Of course she could phone it in. Weather people are wrong 75% of the time. Its the only job I know of that you could be wrong that much and not get fired.

My thoughts exactly...Got to that part and couldn't take the writer seriously. On second thought, maybe that's why he was given such a weighty article to write.

I have watched her on the Weather Channel. Hardley a girl. True proffessional and knowledgable adult lady -Meteorlogist.

I admire you, I got stuck one time and will not ride them any more, for instants, four years ago I had brain surgery, I was out any of the time I was on the elevator until time to go home, I ask them to give me a pill to relax me so I could ride down, they said they couldn't, so I said I either didn't go or they let me walk down the stairs.
Yes the Dr gave me permission to walk five flights of stairs down, with two nurses at my side and go slow.
I can't stand to be closed in at all now.

Agree - Matt is becoming a boar or is that boer? Oh well, I didn't go to Harvard so I can't be expected to spell. If fact, they ought to can the whole show and THE VIEW (like who cares. For my money I'd just as soon seen Captain Kangaroo reruns - Mr Greenjeans, what a hoot! Steph Abrams - hot and talented! Good job Steph!
