Tonight we take a look at one of the reasons YouTube was invented in the first place…newsroom bloopers.
Did you know Tony Danza isn’t the biggest fan of local news?
Someone didn’t get enough rest last night. Or maybe she forgot to eat breakfast.
She lost her WHAT? Well, she better get that back or her shirts won’t fit correctly.
Here’s a classic. Does anyone recognize her? Did she recover?
And another – Shep Smith reports on J.Lo.
I can’t tell if this weatherman is joking or serious.
We interrupt this newscast for a special announcement.
This is hysterical. I don’t think we’ll see this guy on the Discovery Channel anytime soon.
And this has to be the best anchor vs. reporter fight I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen, maybe…one.
“I can’t tell if this weatherman is joking or serious.”
That’s Chad Myers. He’s intense. I’d like to say he’s also insane, but I’m not a psychologist. I saw that one live just before Katrina hit. You know what? He is insane.

I can’t watch that grape-stomping one anymore, those sounds of agony just hit me where I live (probably because I’ve broken my own nose,) but I never get tired of that one with the lizard. OOBID LOGGITY GOOK!

Man that anchor vs. reporter fight was awkward to sit through. Sort of like being at a friends house when his parents are fighting.

Joe M,
That grape one WAS hard to watch, and *I* have thankfully never done anything like this to myself on or off camera.
From the source of the clip on YouTube, there are a LOT of extremely mean-spirited /bordering on crude responses

I cannot watch that lizard video enough! HA!
And that anchorman vs. reporter was something you’d see in a movie (like Anchorman)!

Man, Tony Danza is a jerk. Don’t ever complain about local news when you’re prepping for an interview!
