Her Personal Life with Husband
McDowell met her now-husband Ferris in 2001 when they worked together in the show Cashin’ In.
In Fox’s show on May 6, 2011, the couple even talked about their comradery in their initial days of friendship. At first, Ferris revealed that he and McDowell met at Fox station 10 years ago.
“We were sort of handpicked. At least I think I was handpicked, I don’t know about Dagen,” Ferris added. “To basically argue in a mutual fun faceoff on the show…cast to because of our argumentative nature.” .box-4-multi-183{border:none!important;display:block!important;float:none;line-height:0;margin-bottom:15px!important;margin-left:0!important;margin-right:0!important;margin-top:15px!important;min-height:250px;min-width:250px;padding:0;text-align:center!important}
