As an ode to the "spit" blast uttered last night by Pattie Shieh of Fox 26, Hair Balls looks back at the top 10 on-air fuc_, uh, mess-ups of all-time.
10. Curmudgeon vs. Curmudgeon
Who wins between these two old farts? (Our opinion: The dude who unleashes the "you were [my boss] and are no longer" crack.)
9. Drunk Encounter 1
Potheads will also appreciate these segments by CNN's Anderson Cooper.
8. Blow-Job Jenny From the BlockIf there's an X-rated, Shepard Smith-inspired remix of "Jenny from the Block," we want to hear it.
7. Boom Goes the Dynamite
For
Jim Rome Showfans, here's the origin of "boom goes the dynamite." (And here's
an update.)
6. Funky Fucking ChickenErnie Anastos of New York's WNYW suggests to a weatherman named Dick to do something with his Richard...and Dick agrees. (Continuing with the theme, Anastos also once said
"cock" during a broadcast.)
5. Fuck Off, Traffic
The morning commute in Indianapolis must really effing suck.
4. Drunk Encounter 2Steve Ryan of Las Vegas's KTNV needs to learn a better bitch slap.
3. Bird 2, Reporter 0
This Canadian reporter takes two for the team.
2. Cockroach 2, Weatherman 0A Florida weather broadcaster gets owned twice.
1. And the Winner Is...
A bee in the mouth is apparently worse than bird poop in the pie hole, as illustrated by Isiah Carey of Houston's Fox 26 when he was a reporter in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Keep the Houston Press Free... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Houston with no paywalls.
