CNN 20: Natalie Allen Remembers 'CNN Today'
ANNOUNCER: Bringing you the world for 20 years, this is CNN.</s>NATALIE ALLEN, CNN ANCHOR: There are so many days when you come to the set pretty much knowing what the day's going to be, and it's nothing like you planned. And it can happen and change in a nanosecond. That's how quickly news breaks out.</s>ALLEN: For the latest on what's going on in Daytona Beach...</s>ALLEN: Slowly, all of the CNN resources start gearing up, and next thing you know our correspondents are there, we have people on the phone to interview. It's raw when it's on during the day, and the people at home are seeing it as we're seeing it when it's breaking news.</s>ALLEN: It seems extraordinary what we have to report now on this day, the day before the world mourns Princess Diana, on the day of her funeral, but we have just learned that Mother Teresa has died.</s>ALLEN: Lou and I have worked with each other for seven years so we know how to play off one another, and we enjoy that. When he's getting the latest news, I can be doing an interview. And then it's his turn, my turn. So we really know each other well. Overall, we have a good time. You really have to work well with your partner at CNN because you're not just reading scripts and going along with the format. It's -- you throw the scripts up in the air a lot. I'd be pretty lonely sitting up there all by myself all day.
