Zap2it: How is it to adapt to working overnights every weeknight on "World News Now"?
Diana Perez: It really is a challenge, because everyone who surrounds the show falls in love with whatever format they've been doing. It was one way when Paula [Faris] and Rob [Nelson] were there, and they had built in a certain amount of time to do certain things ... for chatting or [such segments as] "The Mix" or "The Skinny."

The current co-anchor (with John Muller) of ABC's early-early-morning "World News Now" has gotten accustomed to the hours, having had a permanent seat on the program since February. As a fill-in anchor for much of the previous year, she found what a good fit the often loose, humorous approach of the newscast was for her.
"When I was given the opportunity to go to the network," the spirited Perez says to Zap2it, "it was one of those things where I always thought, 'Ok. Now is when you've got to get serious.' While I still feel I am delivering true news and I am still a true professional, it's just so wonderful to be able to let loose. That is my personality.
