Deborah Duncan
Beyoncé might be her dream role, but chatty career keeps TV personality on top
From the University of Texas School of Journalism to a stint in New York with the Lifetime network to television talk shows in Houston, Deborah Duncanenjoys her chatty career in front of the camera and just might parlay her intelligent, talkative talents into a nationally syndicated program.
She has shot a pilot for Good News Friends and if the show gets picked up she could be headed to Los Angeles. In the meantime, the much-beloved talk show host keeps her Great Day Houston morning program on KHOU Channel 11 rolling and her personal appearances around town in high gear. In addition to her gift for intelligent gab, Duncan enjoys a talented singing voice, which she has shared for non-profits on numerous occasions.
Raised in a military family with assignments in the Far East, Duncan ultimately settled in San Antonio when her father retired. She credits the constant moving in her youth with helping develop her interviewing skills. And she believes that her brain aneurysm, suffered in 1997 while in New York, gave her a new perspective on life. As she says, "When you set goals, make sure you make room for life because you never know when life is going to intervene in your plans."
