Erin Burnett: Final Day At CNBC

On May 6, 2011, Erin Burnett appeared for the last time on CNBC, the network where she hosted two shows and was one of its most visible personalities.

Bob 'Cool Breeze' Pisani gave Burnett an embrace on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange shortly after 10:00 a.m., which prompted a round of applause from floor traders. Bertha Coombs, Herb Greenberg and Jane Wells also separately gave Burnett a farewell during 'Squawk on the Street.'

Burnett's usually stoic co-host Mark Haines cried like a girl during the final, tear-jerking moments of 'Squawk.'

'Power Lunch' hosts Michele Caruso-Cabrera, Sue Herrera and Tyler Mathisen wished Burnett luck as 'Street Signs' began.

During her final hour on CNBC, Sharon Epperson, Bill Griffeth, Simon Hobbs, Darren Rovell and Rick Santelli said goodbye to Burnett.

The show ended with Erin saying goodbye to Jim Cramer, and the pair crying in each other's arms as the screen faded to black.

[thankGodforDavidG]

Mark Haines of CNBC was the one guy who spoke the truth and had a great sense of humor, an incredibly knowledgeable person. What a loss to all of us. He's always going to be in our thoughts and thank you so very much for your insight and honesty.

all those guys wanted to fuck her

@lee0122333 agree with you.

I WOULD RIP HER PUSSY TO SHRED

[85iceman]

I cannot wait to see her on a regular basis on CNN. So hot, so smart.

Erin would have been the perfect host on the Today Show... Bad move NBC!!!

@KiNPiN1835

Well, I don't blame all those guys that wanted to fuck her.

I wanna fuck her to & I'm a woman.

@onandonandon1234 They seemed to be like an "anchor couple". I feel for the family's loss, and hope the family is ok.

CNBC won't ever be the same. They got too many Wall Street kissups now since the one of the few (if not only) that watched Main Street has passed.

[Steveos312]

I have to concur with many of the most recent posts after his passing. When I watched the goodbye online (since I don't watch CNBC like I used to) Mark's on air emotions were atypical. It made me almost cry. After hearing about his death on Thursday, I immediately thought of May 6th. I know his wife and kids meant the world to him. I wouldn't think anything else other than feeling that he lost his anchor wife figure that was Erin.

She has that rare mixture of intelligence, common sense, and beauty. Also, it is interesting to note that the men who bid her farewell were extremely effusive in their praise. IMHO, if Erin were a guy, they wouldn't be as sappy. Obviously, she is an attractive young woman with a bubbly personality so it is easy to get 'attached' to her. I honestly think Mark had a *major* crush on her, as well as the other guys. Working with her every morning was something he looked forward to.
