He always has difficulties reading copy and quite often breaks into his "Kermit The Frog" voice....I just don't get it.
Listen closely next time he does a story about a "fyre" (fire), strong emphasis on the eye sound.

I am a former employee, I got out three owners ago, and it sucked then, and still know a few people that work there, and they say it has only gotten worse.

yeah sometimes I think they should get him to replace Frank Oz's son doing Kermitt, he does a better job.

You know, I can imagine all the stress being at Channel 10... because you know, Altoona-State College-Johnstown-Clearfield is the mecca of news broadcasting...

How A Channel 10 Production Meeting goes down:

PD (Program Director): Alright. Big News day, guys.
Lacky: BIG DAY!
PD: We're tracking 3 major stories... somebody is going to win the Murrah award this afternoon!
Reporters: YAY!
PD: Who wants the 9th annual Cupcakes for Kittens bakesale in Bedford?
Asian Reporter: I want that ah wan!
PD: Who wants the North Neshimmany Overweight Nudists car wash?
Polish Reporter: Me! *swats fly*
PD: ...And who's going to take the weather...

*uncomfortable silence*

PD: Murgo!
Joe Murgo: What do you want?!?!
PD: You're on weather?
Joe Murgo: Awe fuck this! Get that bitch Casey to do it!
PD: He's on the cruise...
Joe Murgo: What about that fat bitch Kelly Goodman?
PD: She's on sports...
Joe Murgo: Oh, sure... give the fucking cow sports just because she's a dyke...
Kelly Goodman: The truth hurts, doesn't it, pissface!
Joe Murgo: Who cares... the weather is for rejects. I'm Joe fucking Murgo... I should be covering big stories... like blizzards... floods... oppressive heat, and extreme cold...
PD: Uh... that's weather, dumbass..
Joe Murgo: SHIT!
PD: The rest of you... uh... the war is still on... check CBSNews.com for stories... Let's go!

I did a search and Bill O'Reilly use to write for him...found this interesting fact when he locked him (Uncle Ted) in a coffin and he was claustrophobic!!


Count Gore De Vol was another bad one!


"...Uncle Ted, the program's host, was usually "blasted out of his mind and taking chemicals you've never even heard of." One Saturday, O'Reilly arranged to have Uncle Ted emerge from a coffin during the broadcast of the evening's movie, "Dracula's Daughter." When Uncle Ted, who was claustrophobic, reluctantly climbed in, O'Reilly locked the casket."




Good ol' Uncle Ted! :lol: The '70s ruled! I thought it had been Friday nights, but apparently not.
My brother would usually be home by the time it was over and he'd switch the channel to a Music show that would feature GREAT Bands - I can never remember the name of that show! :roll: Also, how I saw SNL as well as "Uncle Ted", I have no idea - unless I watched it when SNL was repeats. ...and it would appear O'Reilly has ALWAYS been an ass.

Thanks, but no - that'd be WAY too simple. :) The King Biscuit Flour Hour was one I do happen to recall. I have no idea the name of the other one.

Has anyone seen them bringing that lady in Portage (that had someone kill her husband on Christmas Eve) out of the courthouse? It cracks me up everytime I see it because I've never seen anyone look that confused. She must not be the sharpest tool in the shed cuz she's looking around like, Where am I, Who are all these people? What happened?
And we've mentioned this before, but they must really go out of their way to interview the people in small towns around here that have the least amount of teeth and the worst Central PA accent.
Channel 10 news is a joke, I only watch it because its the only channel I have and I don't get the newspaper.

That would simply be a kind of "Pittsburghese". :) It's more akin to:




"So we's gonna go do da wash naw, and then we's goin' ta SheetseZ, the new one in the old AmeseZ Plaza. Ya gots a problem wit dat?"
