Sometimes it's easy to forget that most network news broadcasts are happening live. Normally, everything runs smoothly. The anchors smile and read off their papers or teleprompter, we're thoroughly scared by everything that's happened in the world during the day, and then as the camera pans out, they laugh and make passive aggressive remarks to one another. It's always professional.
Except once in a while, a news anchor slips up, like Ernie Anastos here. In one of those unscripted moments, Ernie decided to get a little too playful with his words after the weather forecast. Rather than use the old phrase 'keep cluckin' that chicken', he replaced cluckin' with fuckin' and hilarity ensued.
Perhaps even more appalling is the fact that the weatherman replied 'I'll do that' without even realizing it. So not only was there usage of foul language on the air, but also a firm promise of bestiality. God bless America's news people. Behind every shiny smile is satanic intent.
Have you seen or heard of any other on-air foul ups?

I think it goes without say that Dari Alexander's face after he says that is completely priceless!
haha. The lady looks like a deer in the headlights. She's probably thinking "don't react, don't react, don't react"... :)
