"The smoky-voiced Kori Turbowitz started her career off as a voicemail operator. But her delivery of "You have...THREE new messages" was spoken with such flair and irreverence that the next thing she knew, she was the number one radio host in the Bay Area, and one of the top Piston Cup reporters on television."[1]

She appears four times in the film: when interviewing Lightning McQueen after the first race, announcing his trailer's arrival in California, visiting Radiator Springs to thank Doc Hudson for revealing McQueen's wherabouts, and finally as a non-speaking appearance in the crowd of reporters when Chick Hicks is celebrating his victory after rear-ending The King off the track. Like everyone else, she is disgusted with Chick's behavior and attacks him with rubbish and debris to make him leave.

Quotes[]

Kori Turbowitz: "We're here in Victory Lane, awaiting the race results. McQueen, that was quite a risky move, not taking tires."
McQueen's crew: "Tell me about it."
Kori Turbowitz: "Are you sorry you didn't have a crew chief out there?"
McQueen's crew: "Hah!"
Lightning McQueen: "Oh, Kori. There's a lot more to racing than just winning. I mean, taking the race by a full lap... Where's the entertainment in that?"
McQueen's crew: "Hah!"
Lightning McQueen: "No no... I wanted to give the folks a little sizzle."
McQueen's crew: "Sizzle?"
Lightning McQueen: "Am I sorry I don't have a crew chief? No, I'm not. 'Cause I'm a one-man show."
McQueen's crew: "What? Oh, yeah, right."
Kori Turbowitz: "That was a very confident Lightning McQueen. Coming to you live from Victory Lane, I'm Kori Turbowitz."
