Struggling Weatherman

[rh71]

It was obviously an amateur production. Even the other 2 women sounded like they were acting out lines instead of actually speaking their mind (even if they were reading from a prompter).. it was pretty bad to begin with. No prompters... he was using notes on paper... yeah that will go smoothly...

I've been at a news station before and weathermen do stand in front of a green screen but off to the side they can see what we see so that's how they know where to stand or where to point. And that's why you see weathermen looking sideways (instead of back at the map). They obviously didn't have that side-screen for them either.

Still funny how the dude choked on every other word and didn't know what to do with his hands. If it were me, I'd pull an Ashley Simpson. Or maybe he was pulling an American Idol.

I think they did have a screen for him to look at, he kept looking at it trying to figure out where to stand. I think he had a hard time figuering out that how his movements affected his movements on the screen.

Glad it was just a college TV broadcast, sucks for the guy that it'll never die.

C'mon people. That is so fake it's not even funny.

Nah, I think it's legit.

What's funny to me is that he's trying so hard to read off his notes when all he really has to do is read the numbers off the screen and summarize. There was one screen that just showed the current high and low temp for the day and he was STILL fumbling with his notes!!

Just read the damn screen dumbass! :roll:

This was definately painful to watch. But funny as hell.

That was painful to watch.

A quick google search revealed this: http://woub.org/about/
It is a college station so that explains the amateur quality.

I was crying with laughter... I'm laughing now just trying to fathom wtf was going on in his head.

Its fake, what weather segment takes that long anyways? The slides were going non stop, so its not like the weather guy was holding things up.

Yeah, it seemed fake to me... like how can someone keep messing up which hand to use to point at the map?
