ABC 26 News may be last in the local news ratings, but when you're bringing up the rear of the Nielsen parade, it seems you try ... new approaches ... to the headlines of the day. Last night, after reporter Catherine Shreves filed this very important story about "the G-shot," an injection women can have in, er, the most private part of their anatomies, she engaged in a bit of banter at the desk with anchors Michael Hill and Jessica Holly ... whereupon Michael Hill uttered a line sure to make him viral-video famous by week's end:
We at Gambit World HQ have watched this clip three times and it gets funnier with each viewing. What are they putting in the water over at ABC 26?
Showing 1-7 of 7
Who was the killjoy in the middle? Come to think of it, when did Channel 26 become ABC26?
Thanks, Kevin. Doing my bit to spread the, uh, something or other: http://www.first-draft.com/2010/05/great-moments-in-local-teevee-news-nola-edition.html
I was able to get the clip on my TiVo... I'll see if I can upload a better copy later today.
How about this one: http://www.abc26.com/news/local/wgno-news-more-with-actor-ian-somerhalder,0,7637188.story Choose the last video - the 60-second interview with Ian Somerhalder. The reporter can't even get through the Q&A's without them splicing a few times. This is amazing to watch. Questions like: "Um, what is, (pause) your favorite (pause) COLOR?!? You have to watch all the way to the end - it's pretty amazing that this made it on the air.
