1. LAUREN SHEHADI 👑
Legs: 10
Performance: 10
Consistency: 10
Hose Game: 5
Shoe Game: 8.75
This is the one ranking pretty much everyone can agree on. Queen Shehadi is arguably the most consistent sportsbabe in history, a guaranteed leg show every day; her inhuman level of production is unrivaled. Her one-in-a-million combo of supermodel length, hardbody muscle tone & unique shapeliness add up to the Best Legs on TV in my opinion... and thankfully, no one is more eager to show off her gams than Queen Shehadi.
Every season is better than the last for Lauren... the hemlines get higher, the leg-crosses get riskier and this year she finally checked "Pantyhose" off her to-do list in epic fashion. MLBN is savvy enough to revolve the show around Lauren's Legs like planets around the sun. Keep in mind that she just turned 40 (and looks so much younger) so she's just approaching her prime... she can easily dominate the game for another decade.
Forget competing with the current crop, Shehadi is on her way to surpassing Robach, Couric & NatMo on The G.O.A.T. list.
2. DYLAN DREYER 👑
Legs: 9.25
Performance: 10
Consistency: 9.75
Hose Game: 10
Shoe Game: 9
Dylan is actually 1B to Shehadi's 1A, two royal LEGends at the top of their games. However, for the sake of this list I had to rank Dylan #2, which is more of a testament to Shehadi's all-time greatness than a shortcoming of Dylan's.
Nobody, not even Jen Carfagno, does "Cute but Sexy" like Dylan. Even without her beloved hosiery, Dylan's bare sleek legs are outstanding and she keeps her dresses short enough to expose her meaty, dimpled thighs. She's in the midst of another historic summer, maybe the best of her illustrious career, dropping bombshell after leggy bombshell. She does whatever it takes to put us in the Bone Zone, from removing her shoes (and driving Foot Fanatics insane) to laying facedown in a beach chair wearing a short dress & heels.
However, we all know Dylan shifts into a higher gear once Pantyhose Season arrives, so when Shehadi gracefully bows out after baseball ends, Dylan can put the finishing touches on her umpteenth championship run and win the crown for 2023.
3. JEN CARFAGNO
Legs: 9.5
Performance: 10
Consistency: 9.5
Hose Game: 9
Shoe Game: 8.5
Perennially popular Jen C never leaves my Top 3, this is exactly where she ranked on last year's list. The combined power of Shehadi & Dylan is the only reason Jen isn't #1. Her smoldering hot sex appeal is so effortless, some people overlook how epic her legs are... but Jen has one of the best pairs our lil' community has ever seen. Her beautifully-sculpted thighs and calves are products of intense exercise, tanned to a perfect shade of bronze. She's the most active participant in Hose Season after Dylan.
Jen is a well-oiled machine (literally, cuz those gams are glistening) who has perfected the Art of Subtle Seduction, teasing us mercilessly with an innocent smile, taking delight in pushing our buttons. Dylan is the only one who can surpass her in that realm but Jen has her own sweet & spicy flavor, like "Oops, did I just show my Spanx? Aw shucks." 😊
She doesn't go on runs, she goes on marathons and the current one has lasted several months; every single day is a legfest at TWC. Jen's walk from the weather monitor to the couch (capped with a sexy "Sit & Cross") is must-see TV.
4. EVA PILGRIM
Legs: 10
Performance: 8.5
Consistency: 8
Hose Game: 0
Shoe Game: 9
Even when the great Amy Robach was active, I said Eva is the only one with the musclebound legs to rival her. When pretenders like Ally Rhiannon kept Amy's vacated throne warm, I wanted Eva... and the Gam Gods rewarded my faith. I've been the conductor of the Eva Train since she joined ABC and right now she's exactly where I want her to be.
Amy is a cornerstone of my Mount Legmore but I'm not blind to the fact that Eva's beautifully-shaped, power-packed gams are of the same extremely high caliber. Shehadi's length is always the tiebreaker for me but outside of that one advantage, Eva may very well have the best legs on this list.
Eva's penchant for short suits put her exceptional assets on display unlike anyone else in the biz. Some will say she shouldn't rank this high yet but she's putting in game-changing work these days and hasn't even scratched the surface of her infinite potential. Her performances continue to improve at record speed.
I said it last year when she made my UNSUNG GAMS list: At full throttle, Eva is unstoppable. She has an abundance of tools to join Amy in the Upper Deck of the G.O.A.T. List. Whenever Eva is fully invested in being #1, the crown (and more) is hers.
5. MARYSOL CASTRO
Legs: 10Performance: 10Consistency: 9Hose Game: 5Shoe Game: 8.5
As far as I'm concerned, Marysol solidified a place in the Hall of Fame a while ago. Her name should never be left out of the "Greatest Legs of All Time" discussions, although she's often overlooked. She has one of the sexiest, most flawless pairs to walk the Earth... and her dedication to fitness chiseled her perfect gams into hardbody Weapons of Mass Seduction.
If Marysol's H.O.F. pedigree was ever in question, this year's career-defining run should remove all doubt. She's gotten more risque with age. Her hemlines are up in the nosebleed section, exposing her rock-solid thighs as she teeters on the border of UppieVille (a line she's crossed multiple times this year).
Her partner Alex Lee performs at an All-Star level but Megastar Marysol does a bulk of PIX's scoring these days, maximizing their revamped leg-friendly studio. Castro has several "Legshow of the Year" entries to bolster an airtight case for 2023's crown and more importantly, elevate her status on the G.O.A.T. list.
6. JENNA BUSH HAGER

Jenna's case for Best Legs on TV is just as LEGit as Shehadi's, Eva's or Marysol's. She worked hard to forge the perfect pair of pins and works even harder to show them off. Her legshows come at a premium but each one is worth its weight in gold; the definition of quality over quantity.
Not many newsbabes can outdo Jenna as a performer. She gives up thigh meat by the ton and each one of her clips is "Legshow of the Year" material. That's why despite her limited output, she ranks so high on this list (exactly where she was last year).
Jenna's always within striking distance from the crown and if she ever gains the consistency of Shehadi or Dylan, she can leapfrog them both and conquer the Throne. She has the once-in-a-generation legs to do it with relative ease.
7. HOLLY MORRIS
Legs: 9
Performance: 10
Consistency: 9.5
Hose Game: 0
Shoe Game: 7.5
I'm forever indebted to my man NewsBabeLegs2 for introducing me to Holly at his channel. She's a throwback to the wild legslingin' days of the early 2000's, giving us the unadulterated leg action that made us fans of the genre. Holly would've fit right in on the Outnumbered couch during the infamous Ailes Era, going to war with the leggy likes of Smith, Tantaros & Roginsky.
Hurricane Holly crosses with reckless abandon, swinging her sexy stems like a pair of nunchucks... not since the heyday of Stephanie Ruhle and Gretchen Carlson have we gotten this many blatant, wide-open uppies. There's no shame in her game, making Holly one of most popular and rapidly-rising newsbabes in This Thing of Ours.
She's slowed down as of late, maybe due to pressure from nervous execs at FOX5 DC. But she's already a LEGend as far as I'm concerned... her catalog is stacked with electrifying highlights.
8. AINSLEY EARHARDT
Legs: 9
Performance: 9
Consistency: 9
Hose Game: 1
Shoe Game: 10
Fan favorites Emily Compagno and Carley Shimkus are widely considered the Queens of FOX (and it's certainly warranted) but I believe Ainsley Earhardt has quietly been the best and most consistent at the network for a while now. The seasoned Ailes Era vet still has one of the sexiest pairs of legs ever and continues to use them like it's 2013.
Ainsley's dignified yet seductive legcross is the hottest in the biz and the way she positions her expensive heels is unmatched. As classy and professional as she is in the studio, Ainsley doesn't mind getting down & dirty in her skirt and heels, participating in any physical segments thrown her way.
She's worn the #1 Leg Queen crown numerous times over the years, so Ainsley knows exactly what it takes to be win championships. She made the Hall of Fame a while ago so she's just padding her stats at this point.
I believe Carley will ultimately dominate FOX & beg recognized as the best at any network, her lengthy legs are too exceptional for that not to happen. Charly Arnlot is a budding megastar gearing up for an inevitable title run. But for now, Ainsley's wealth of experience keeps her a few paces ahead.
9. ADELLE CABALLERO
Legs: 9.5
Performance: 8
Consistency: 8
Hose Game: 5
Shoe Game: 9
Adelle became my pick for Rookie of the Year after taking the reigns from the LEGendary Lauren Scala (one of my all time favorites) and now she's creating a LEGit LEGacy of her own. NBC going from Scala to Adelle is like Green Bay going from Favre to Rodgers, greatness following greatness without missing a beat.
Adelle has a stunning pair of compact but beautifully-shaped legs worthy of the Top Tier. She maximizes her unique assets with the best stances on TV (Stance Game: 10). She pivots on her heels like a figure skater, shifting from one foot to another, strolling around gracefully... it's tent-pitching to watch her exceptional legs in motion. On February 2nd 2023, Adelle blew our minds and finally wore sheer black pantyhose in a nod to her predecessor (hopefully she makes it a habit).
She's fallen off a bit after a scorching hot start this year and her YouTube clips aren't as abundant as before. But make no mistake about it, Adelle is still Upper Echelon and has all the tools for title contention. Her best days are ahead of her.
10. VICKY NGUYEN
Legs: 9
Performance: 9.5
Consistency: 9.25
Hose Game: 0
Shoe Game: 9.5
Vicky doesn't get nearly as much airplay as the others and still made the Top 10... give her starter's minutes and she'd likely be #1. She made my Unsung Gams list last year but did more than enough to join the elite. I thought about giving this spot to Bianca Peters but Bianca's summertime resurgence isn't enough to neutralize Vicky's year-round consistency.
Let's keep it a buck: Vicky has carried Today on several occasions, either all by her lonesome or by out-legging Dylan (a tough task). She's a thrilling performer with an elite shoe game as the cherry on top. Vicky has extremely long legs for such a petite woman & milks them for all their worth... the exact opposite of SHYnelle (who needs to swap places with Vicky).
She's criminally underrated but Vicky has one of the leggiest highlight reels of any newsbabe over the past few years. Ironically, NBC is her biggest obstacle because if she were the main anchor (or at least co-main) she'd be a Hall of Fame candidate by now. If she ever ends up at a network that gives her Shehadi-like power, Vicky is next in line for the crown.
