In the wake of her tryout as a placekicker for the LSU Football team in March, former LSU Soccer goalkeeper Mo Isom will appear as an in-studio guest on Tuesday’s episode (April 3) of  the Ellen DeGeneres Show airing at 4 p.m. in Baton Rouge.

The Ellen DeGeneres Show airs each weekday on NBC affiliates across the country. 

The website for show previews the episode by saying, “Then, an incredible female athlete, Mo Isom, challenged the norm by trying out to be a kicker for the LSU Football team. Her amazing story of tragedy and triumph, as well as her remarkable talent will inspire you to take on the world!”

Lt. Governor Jay Dardenne is appointing Ruston native Kyle Edmiston to lead Louisiana’s tourism effort. Edmiston will begin his duties as assistant secretary of the Office of Tourism May 1. He has served as president/CEO of the Ruston Lincoln Parish Convention and Visitors Bureau for six years and was involved extensively in statewide tourism efforts, serving separately as vice chair, secretary and treasurer of the Louisiana Travel and Promotion Association. He also served as president of the Louisiana Association of Convention and Visitors Bureaus and sits on several regional tourism boards.

“I’m excited about the opportunity to work with Lt. Governor Dardenne and the tremendous industry partners to move the Office of Tourism forward,” Edmiston said. “Louisiana has incredible assets in the tourism industry, and I am eager to work with staff to showcase and market those assets to the world.

Edmiston presided over a Ruston Lincoln Parish CVB that realized increased revenue during each of his six years.

CBS News Correspondent Mark Strassman and his producer Chris St. Peter stopped by the station today to do some work.

Strassman interviewed former LSU homecoming queen and soccer player Mo Isom for a piece that aired on CBS This Morning. Isom tried out for the LSU football team, but wasn't successful.

He came to the station to work on another piece which he did in Dallas last week about military homecomings. He voiced the piece and sent it to New York. The story will air tonight, March 14, on CBS Evening News.

Strassman says he's on the road about 50 percent of the time. It's something that doesn't sit well with his family, but that's the reality of  network news.
