[God Magnus]

From Gawker:

Video guru Richard Blakeley (who's explored reportorial bloopers before) collected ten of our very favorite meltdowns by people whose job it is to not curse on TV. Some of these went out live, some were stolen from satellite feeds, but they're all golden. From Jim Ryan telling Dick Oliver that he'll explain how to be a reporter later to broadcast legend Bill Plante throwing a tantrum at the White House to vintage Sam Donaldson and Leslie Stahl, it's a cavalcade of rage and frustration. Like life. Click to watch!

Meltdowns

Gold!

 

[Kadratis]

She's awfully mad at the boat. Wasn't it supposed to be going straight?

 

[nevermore]

I dunno. Probably just me. But it just baffles me that in this day and age, people still call in to complain about this sort of thing. As in, somebody hears this and gets so offended that they take the time and energy to pick up a phone and wait on hold in order to tell somebody what they already know about a swear word.

...I honestly can't form a mental image of such a person that doesn't include wrinkles, werthers original, and aspercreme.

Seriously. These people lead sad, bitter pathetic lives.

Yes, just like the ones who complain about people complaining.

It's a messageboard...

What about people who complain about people who complain about people complaining? Hey, I just found an endless cycle

Thanks for picking up on that.

Meltdowns

My favorite is the Good Morning New York one where the two are going at it on air. That rocks.

That's what I thought at first too. Maybe she doesn't like cruise ships, or something.

 

[Super Grover]

I love stuff like this.

 

[John Picard]

Gee, Bill O'Reilly sure lost it

 

[exodus]

I loved Jim Ryan.

"Yeah, you were and are no longer. How'd that happen?"

 

[Greg Cox]

Anyone know what she was reacting to?

 

[Swarles Barkley]

Anyone know what she was reacting to?

Chuck Scarborough's shoe mirrors, no doubt.

 

[The Lady Eve]

Anyone know what she was reacting to?

WNBC/Ch. 4 anchor Sue Simmons says she "went numb" Monday night after using the F-word during a live news tease.

"I thought we were taping a promo," Simmons said in an e-mail to The News.

She said she saw co-anchor Chuck Scarborough out of the corner of her eye scribbling on his notes and "playfully and crudely" tried to get his attention.

Did she sound like she was being "playful" to anyone else here?

Dance remix of O'Reilly's meltdown.

 

[Gepard]

Dance remix of O'Reilly's meltdown.

That is priceless. Too bad the Colbert Report couldn't air it--they'd have to bleep out all the good stuff.

Where's Eric B. & Rakeem when you need them?

 

[Rat Boy]

Now we know what really set Bill off.

 

[JonathonWally]

I would enjoy the news more if there was more cursing. Liz Cho is still my favorite. Steve Bartelstien is awesome too.

Only New Yorkers will know who I'm talking about huh?
