Background

History

Shannon married Tom during the 90s, back when he still had wavy dark brown hair and eventually divorced him. Tom constantly insults Shannon while on-air and then will quickly retract the statement and apologize for his earlier statements.

Season 2

Shannon is first mentioned in the episode Chickenswhen Tom is interviewing Michael Morgan, Chicken-4-Dayz CEO, about the female chicken that escaped the farm. 

Michael specifies that the escaped chicken is not to be seen as a friend or any ordinary person and that is it not socialized for the outside world, in which Tom responds that she sounds just like his ex-wife.

Seconds later, he immediately apologizes and showing a picture of their wedding day, he tells the audience that he actually shared fourteen beautiful years with her. Tom then goes back to the interview. 

In the episode Hank After Dark, the news anchor talks about the visit of Prince Gustav in Los Angeles. Reading the teleprompter, he says that the prince is a ruthless despot, but he'd still rather share a bed with him than his ex-wife. 

Realizing what he just said, an annoyed Tom tells Shannon that he actually didn't mean it and detracts his earlier statement.
