In July 1997, she joined the Associated Press, handling a variety of both general news and sports stories in the western US.

On the September 2nd 2005 episode of Buzz out loud, she famously stated that a potential "iTunes phone" sounded lame and predicted it would be a flop. 

Molly Wood hates Wednesdays! But she loves Fridays!

It has recently been reported that Molly Wood is currently sporting a mullet.  This was reported on [[Leo Laporte]]'s   This Week in Tech (TWiT) podcast, and confirmed by John C Dvorak (http://dvorak.org/blog)<ref>{{cite web |url = http://themolly.com/blog/?p=36 |title = Molly Wood's Buzz Me blog |accessdate=2007-12-05 }}</ref>. Although this is in jest as they were teasing Molly for not appearing in the program.
