Desription:

This dude lost his job after this.

LOL, why?

I tried searching to find out if the description was true. So far I've only found folks discussing the clip.

Looks pretty staged.

Well, there IS a Fox 33 News in Utica, NY. I'm trying to find the broadcaster "Don Shifman" to see if it's real.

EDIT:

Ohhhhh!!! It's real!!

His name is Matt DiNardo, and he's at this station now:

Also, to add credibility there's testimony:

Tourettes-One of nature's blessed enigmas-Perhaps part of the creators editorial on the human condition(FUCKINSHITGODDAMMIT!!!) through sensitive mediums.

I like the goofy grin on his face afterwards.

how is this not comedy?

I'd be more inclined to believe he just screwed up his lines and didn't realise he was "live" than believe it was a bout of Tourettes. Usually Tourettes sufferers have some sort of physical tic and despite what movies and TV would have you believe, it's rare that their bouts are only swear words.

The discarded video has an extra five seconds that make it that much more funnier with his goofy face he puts on after he remembers that it was LIVE!

^ yeah, i thought so too, stingray.

dotdude - consider switching embeds? the one i used is here.
and the extra few seconds of him standing there, adds something special.

also, i'd agree with ^faceman:
> I'd be more inclined to believe he just screwed up his lines and didn't realise he was "live" than believe it was a bout of Tourettes.

probably new, nervous, more accustomed to videotaping.
practicing that bullet delivery all day, and your line is something like:
"complete forecast, all the day's news, straight ahead live on fox at 6."

but live on air, what comes out of your mouth is:
"... straight ahead at the fox live at news ..."

so yeah, i thought that title gives away the punchline, tags made it hard to find.
besides, if you had tourette's, would you agree to do a live newscast?
