My Work Wives: Katie Cook and Marley Sherwood
Marley Sherwood:
âWe first met when she was a producer on Hot 20. Since then, weâve grown together and Iâm so proud of her. She brings positive vibes on the radio and on the road with her magnetic personality. Sheâs going places and Iâm so thrilled to be part of the Marley journey.â
Katie Cook:
âKatie is a talented pro who I have learned so much from. Sheâs the perfect ying to my yang on Hot 20.Sheâs always so poised on camera and every country star loves her, as do I.â
Good Morning Americaâs Robin Roberts
âRobin shared some words of wisdom with me, âMake Your Mess Your Message.â That idea has really stuck with me and was exactly what I needed to hear years ago. I admire her because she taught me, no matter what life hands us, we all have something that we are working through.Her strength says we can make it through anything.â
Ellen DeGeneres
âWhat an incredible experience it was to meet Ellen. Sheâs a hero to the LBGTQ community and a woman Iâve admired for a long time. We shared beers together backstage once. I remember saying to her, âI have to tell you something, Iâm gay.â She said, âMe too!â and we laughed. She has such a kind spirit.â
Dolly Parton
âI loved her music first, blaring out of the radio in my parentâs kitchen most mornings growing up.Then I remember seeing Dolly on TV and movies and thinking she was funny and so relatable. I still canât believe that I got to meet her years later, and that Iâve had the privilege of interviewing her on several occasions. In person, she is everything I hoped sheâd be and more.â
