Allison Gargaro surprised the FOX 26 Houston KRIV morning crew with her pink-themed pregnancy announcement, which the anchors thought was a typical story.
Melissa Wilson and DaLaun Dillard read the introduction to a story about a dog eating cake, warming hearts. The video appears on the screen of Gargaro, her husband, Gilbert Gilmore, and their dog, featuring a gender reveal. The KRIV production crew even threw a box on screen over the video of the AM anchors so we could see their surprised reaction [WATCH BELOW].
"Best surprise in a long time," Wilson told mikemcguff.com. "I was so busy concentrating on what the dog was going to do so that I could respond to the 'dog story' (watching our small monitor), I wasn't paying attention to the humans to realize it was our Allison!"
"We are forecasting a little ray of sunshine," the weekend morning meteorologist posted. "A baby girl will be joining our family in September! We are so excited to share this news. Ryder is going to be the BEST big brother!"
"We had no idea, we just happened to be wearing pink today! lol," co-anchor DaLaun Dillard added. "Congrats Allison!"
Gargaro joined FOX 26 in December 2023 from FOX 35 Orlando WOFL, where former KHOU 11 meteorologist Brooks Garner now works.
She has since filled in for FOX Weather twice.
