Intern alert! Or teleprompter programmed by someone on crack. Or both.

 

Haha, it seems like the teleprompter is going too fast for him!

Usually, they're adjusted to stop when someone is going "too slowly" and change speed to match the reader. Never seen one that isn't. The other anchors were nice about it though, here in Baltimore that would've been followed by "Thanks for that painful look into sports".

 

[Inspector Jihad]

yeah, they were nice about it./

 

[ChooChooChooseMe]

Eek

 

[surreal1221]

Okay. . .that was horrible. . . but yes

BOOOOM goes the dynamite.

Looks like everyone on the air is pretty young, perhaps it was intern night? (Might explain the bad teleprompting as well...) Or just a more low-key station (Maybe even a college station).

 

[Yo Ma Ma]

Longest sportscast ever, or did it just seem so?!

 

[Rapidskies]

Those had to have been a gag or screwed up on purpose. Nobody is that bad, and if they are they would have been weeded out before they were put on the air.

 

[grrl]

"and Kansas from Kansas..."

His ears are uneven.

Quite possibly. At least in my experience when someone fvcks up on TV, or the teleprompter is incompetant or something, the anchor starts cracking on themselves, the other person, or the equipment. But that may because the TV market I'm familar with (Baltimore) has some of the fvcking oldest newscasters in the country. I've been looking at the same faces since I was born on damn near every station. It's ODD. Most places cycle news crews in 6 months.

That was horrible to watch. Long for the viewer, but I'm sure even longer for the kid himself.

The inevitable song remix.

It doesn't getting any less painful the 2nd or 3rd time you watch it. Poor guy must have been waiting all day to deliver that line.

Here's the story.

 

[jagec]

Didn't he practice beforehand or anything? Yikes.

 

[SilentZero]

That was just sad...but friggen hilarious

Yeah, this appears to be a Ball State college station. Still, it is just brutal. I had a drive-time radio show when I was in high school, and I was a hell of a lot better than this guy. In all fairness, though, I was improvising and/or reading off AP wires, rather than a teleprompter, which appears to have created a lot of this guy's problems.
