PBS Promotion spot

You know the promotional spot for PBS which has the father and daughter sitting on her bed, with him reading "Little Red Riding Hood" to her? Several PBS personalities appear to continue the story, with twists relevant to their shows. It includes one of the "This Old House" guys telling them that if they'd just installed a certain kind of lock that bad old wolf couldn't have gotten into the house, Charlie Rose and Jim Lehrer adding their news-related bits, "Arthur" inserting something, and then it closes with Bernadette Peters (did I ever mention I love Bernadette Peters?) telling the little girl goodnight.

In the midst of these people is a pretty blonde woman. Who is she? I don't recognize her, and I thought I knew most of the PBS stars.

I've seen the ad, because I remember Norm Abram (of TOH) talking about the lock. The blond turns out to be Lara Spencer, who was apparently on Antiques Roadshow for awhile.

And, after a quick Google, a former Good Morning America reporter.

Thanks. It was annoying me not to recognize her.
