Click on image to view video — Perhaps the worst TV show in history. This is what video podcasting is going to be like, you watch.
Click on image to view video — While on the subject of weathermen. Here’s a guy who obviously has Tourrets syndrome. It’s the only explanation I have for what you are about to hear (caution: cussing). Personally I think that with that particualr handicap they would have an excuse to keep him on the air and people would watch religiously! I would.

These have been floating around the net for about six months but I only recently saw them. I wish there were more clips of the “worst weatherman.” I’d watch them all!
There is a reason why the first one is so bad, it’s because it’s “probably” from a college TV station, and the guy probably had no idea how hard it was gonna be. Still funny, but understandable.
Now the second one…. 😀
There was a funny one that showed up on digg awhile back. Here’s a direct link:

Re: the first video – from WOUB – Ohio University – so those are probably students and the guy has no clue what he’s doing.

The second one is suspicious. It appears that WFXV doesn’t even have a local news program:

However, I did find a bio from the weather-cusser, whose name is Matt DiNardo.
http://www.wric.com/Global/story.asp?S=1787662&nav=menu28_3_4
There is no mention of any stint at WFXV. Googling for “Matt DiNardo” WFXV brings up one site mentioning the video. If he did work for WFXV I’d imagine that there would be some indication of that on some website somewhere.
Nor is there any mention of Tourettes Syndrome.
I’m guessing it was a joke. I used to work at a TV station and the staff would create “funny” videos all the time. I’m guessing this is one of those.
This is confirmed by the fact that the bio mentioned that he worked at WKTV in Utica for 11 years. WFXV is also located in Utica, thus they are competitors. Thus it’s quite obvious that the staff of WKTV were making fun of WFXV.
at the time WKTV and WFXV were affiliated and ran same news but at different time slots.
Yes, I’ve seen the video from OU before. I remember those college TV days. We always had someone turn in a performance like that once a year (I went to Ashland University, also in Ohio), and it’s what made the blooper reel worth it.
I suspect the guy on the second one was recording a tease. I can’t imagine that was live, but certainly someone found it funny enough to get it out into the open.
i like second guys retarded smile at the end
Beelzebub, I agree. That stupid smile made me laugh out loud every time I watched it, and I watched it about ten times. Hilarious stuff. It amazes me that some little blurb on the net can be a hundred times more funny than the most highly rated prime-time drivel.
wow the first one is just painful. If i have a bad day i’ll just remember i’m not him. Second one would get me tuning into their newscast every night.
The 1st one is from a kid in college… give him some benefit of the doubt there. Trust me… That’s about the kind of performance I give on-air. That’s probably why I don’t go on-air and just direct the news.

These videos have been around for a while now. Old news. =P
The first one was too painful to watch all the way through. The poor guy was struggling right from the start. He obviously was not rehearsed, didn’t know his cues and had never been in front of a blue or green screen before. I have to say that I felt sorry for him, and by posting this link you have very nicely ensured that his humiliation will get a wider audience that it would have on wimp.com. Good job.
As far as video podcasting goes, the two girls probably present a better model of what to expect from low budget, low talent productions.
The first weatherman: Talk about rough day… But he is funny I’ve probably watch over 40 time and make me laugh all the time he is too funny.. Check out the hand gesture when he stand in front of the camera… haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa he don’t know which hand to used.. To be or not to be that is the question….And check out the two chicks I’ll bet they were laughing their asses off…Man this clip is funny ass hell…im gonna watch it again… haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaheeeeeeeeeeeeeeehooooooooooooooooo
Actually, WKTV and WFXV are sister stations and Matt did the news for both. I’m thinking he got upset because he thought he said the other stations call sign or something.
I was wondering what happened to Matt DiNardo!!! We allways watched the weather on wktv and fox33…all of a sudden he disappeared. Now I know why. LOL
that video of matt dinardo isn’t live- it’s taped. someone who worked at that station leaked it. it didn’t air that way. dinardo wasn’t fired from his job in NY. i know this because i worked with him in virginia. couldn’t be a nicer guy who knows watches his language more during taped spots.
In fact its real about Matt, In utica wfxv had news at 10:00 provided by wktv in some sort of contract arrangement. so while he never worked for wxv he was on the weather provided by wktv.
The clip of Matt was taken Long ago when he first started
( guessing ) . In spite of the clip you see , he was a great weather guy and he was a good community person . He went out to schools all the time and donated his time to various causes in central NY . It’s easy to judge by one bad moment but he really is a good caring guy . We have all been in the stores and heard a lot worse not that I’m condoning what was said . He left central NY 4 or 5 years ago and is missed by many .
Matt was suppose to say all that tonight on news channel two on fox… not “fox live at news…”
Matt didn’t get fired as far as im aware, in fact he works with my father at wric tv8 (abc affiliate in Richmond,va)… I found the video hilarious, but as for him…hes a nice guy and has found a place here in Virginia…
