I caught that earlier this morning.  I didn't really hear what he said in the video to get him canned.  Did I miss it?  I listened twice.

Two seconds into the video... the co-anchor tries to act like she didn't hear it... but you can tell, she did...

Not a good first day on the job.

He sure had that bile in the throat look when he realized he was on air, didn't he?

That has got to be one of the worst news broadcast I have ever seen.
It looked like a small College training course on broadcasting.
He shouldn't worry to much about being fired, cause his on air career doesn't look to promising.

Wholly crap Hoss. There is no way that is a Network affiliate. The first two stories I had no idea what he was talking about. The dead silence was brutal. And when his co anchor thanked him for the sports report. His response was priceless. More of a ya right, glad it's over thing.

Just like with a bad acted movie. The pros make you appreciate their talent even more.

It wasn't...I believe it was a college TV station news report, but in this case, they asked this guy to fill in for a guy who was sick.

He was on NBC this morning...whichever national morning show that is.

He's getting his 15 out of this at least.  I'd imagine he'll land a bigger gig soon.

I had figured he'd get a chance to do Dave's Top Ten.  He didn't get that but did get a mention from Letterman in the monologue last night.

Tosh is hilarious. His stand up is great. I just found out about him a few months back. I don't watch to much Comedy Central because of all the juvenile programming they have.
I would like to see him live and hope that someday he will pass through here. The Brady would be perfect.
