Most unprofessional anchor ever

[markvid]

This buffoon threw a fit over newroom layoffs in January, tried to be a big martyr and resigned, then came back 2 days later.

This is his latest:

 

[JR]

Wow. I liked the pencil/pen toss.

 

[Freelance Hack]

Wow. I liked the pencil/pen toss.

I loved his smart-ass intro after the commercial break.

This dude's in Hawaii. You'd think he'd be a little more mellow.

Perhaps he needs a lei. Or a lay.

 

[markvid]

Hey, Luggie, if anyone in your shop ever pulled that crap, is their desk empty the next day?

 

[CentralIllinoisan]

Screw him. It wasn't going over the air. You deal with the echo or you nicely go to commerical break and not make a snide comment about the system. What a buffoon.

 

[markvid]

Exactly.
If you are professional, you deal with it.
This guy needs a diaper change.

 

[OnTheRiver]

Figured this thread was about our friend Stuart Scott.

Oh well.

I can tell you my assistant news director watched the video, laughed his ass off, and said he would have fired the guy before they came back from that commercial break.

I understand his frustration, though - from everything I've heard, those automated systems are an absolute nightmare.

I've been to Hawaii a couple times this year and happened to catch this dude doing the news one night. He's a bit of a character.. He rambled on for a few minutes about the 24 episode that was on that particular night and this was at the start of the newscast.

 

[TigerVols]

If you close your eyes when you listen to the clip, you'll swear it's Bill O'Reilly.

This isn't the one I saw but here's a sample of his chats about 24...

 

[HandsomeHarley]

I thought this thread was about Hawk Harrelson. :P

 

[HejiraHenry]

Dan Rather. End of thread, for me at least.

 

[PEteacher]

At least he was wearing a tie.

That's hilarious.

The TV station lets him do his own BLOG before the newscast. ???

Well, I guess it beats "if it bleeds, it leads".

Good stuff, Webby.

 

[slappy4428]

I thought it was about DJ Stuey, who has spent the first couple minutes of SC tslking about "Woody" and "T-Woody"

 

[estreetband75]

If we're talking about 'most annoying' and doesn't include ESPN anchors (too easy), the discussion begins and ends with
ol' George Michael with Ch. 4 in DC

My immediate reaction: BULL****. No way!

Then you get the YouTube proof. I cannot believe he's allowed to do that -- Oahu or not. Goodness.

I thought the "24" ramblings were awesome. Local news doesn't have to be 100 percent, deadly serious all the time. I would totally watch that guy.

 

[FishHack76]

It's local television news. Nobody's watching except for old people who don't remember who they are and need someone to wipe up their drool.
