Lanise White

Lanise White in 2012
Born Lanise Kay White
August 8, 1963 (1963-08-08) (age 60)
Green Bay, Wisconsin
Years active 1985-present

Early Life

Career

Anchorwoman

Lanise began her career in 1987 at then-ABC affiliate WMWI-FTV (now a CBS O&O) in her hometown of Green Bay as 5 p.m. anchor and reporter. White left for another ABC affiliate, Milwaukee's WXWI (though that station was a Fox affiliate from 1994 until 2010 before switching back to ABC) in the summer of 1989, where she became the noon and 4:00 p.m. anchor.

In 1989, WXWI launched the market's first 4:00 p.m. newscast (Channel 10 Eyewitness News at 4:00, now (ABC 10) Milwaukee's 4:00 Action News) and Bill Randolph, WXWI's news director at the time, prompted at the suggestion of Randolph's close friend, David Imperial, Sr., the president of WXWI's then-owner Imperial Broadcasting, wanted to pair White and eventual co-anchor Kathy Fountain for the September 1989 debut WXWI's 4:00 p.m. newscast. At the time, in the male-dominated world of Milwaukee television news, this was a first time two women co-anchored a newscast and eventually spread to WXWI's eventual sister stations now owned by NoSirGifts Fantasy Television Stations. Both White and Fountain would eventually reunite on the American version of Vote for the Girls.

Vote for the Girls moderator

It was announced on June 9, 2014 that American host and presenter Lanise White from Milwaukee was confirmed as a moderator of Vote for the Girls. White's moderator panel role on Vote for the Girls USA have made her a much-sought after commentator on Milwaukee television that led to her hiring on this American version of Vote for the Girls. She anchored news in Milwaukee from 1989 until May 2014.

On March 5, 2015 during a taping of Vote for the Girls in Marion, Indiana, just 30 minutes into the taping, Tyanna Jones, Loren Lott, Maddie Walker (chosen by Kendra Ray), and Joey Cook were selected to perform for the Top 16 of the fourtenth season of American Idol. Immediately after the resumption of taping, Sarina-Joi Crowe and Adanna Duru (both chosen by Ava Zinn and Kymberly Alvaraz) were saved. White, irate, ultimately received a technical foul after Jax Cole (chosen by Tracia Ward). After Alexis Gomez (chosen by Holly Everman), was saved, but before she could vote, White said, "I hate this nigger country" and punched Tracia Ward. White was charged with second and third technical fouls and was ejected from the taping. She apologized for her actions the next day and was given a one-month suspension and six weeks suspension from NoSirGifts (the syndicator Vote for the Girls and owner of WXWI and WIFX.)

Following the death of Nermal Everman in July 2015, White filled in on the Australian adaptation of Vote for the Girls. Her final pick, Mahalia Simpson finished fifth place on the seventh season of The X Factor Australia.

In a seminar by Ava Zinn on July 3, 2015, it was revealed that Lanise White will remain on the Vote for the Girls panel in the United States and Australia, and Zinn prompted at the suggestion of her former NoSirGifts colleague Melvin Runecraft and the success of the White/Fountain anchor team on on WXWI's 4:00 p.m. newscast would translate to a great Vote for the Girls moderator rivalry.

Because both White and Roberts are from the same market of Milwaukee, White was moved from the pink team to the purple team due to White's dismal 11-47-1 moderator record in the sixth season of Vote for the Girls. Although, both White and Roberts are both females and are on different teams with White on the Purple Team (with duo moderators Ava Zinn & Kymberly Alvaraz, Kathi & Karly Jameson (formerly Karly Ryder, Jr.), and solo moderators Kendra Ray and Julia Passalt) and Roberts on the Pink team (with duo moderators Holly Everman & Perri Johnson, Tracia Ward & Hillary Matthewson, and solo moderators Thia Tola and Kellie Rock); this moderator rivalry differs from the Ava Zinn-Holly Everman rivalry of Marion/Muncie, Indiana and Tracia Ward-Kathi Jameson of Chicagoland as Zinn and Jameson are both transgendered women on the purple team are respectively competing against bisexual women Everman and Ward on the Pink team. This resulted in White becoming the third woman after Kymberly Alvaraz and Karly Ryder-Jameson (as Alvaraz and Ryder-Jameson are respectively in a long-term relationship with Zinn and Jameson) in addition to becoming the first female solo moderator is on a transwoman's team.
