Ernie Anastos and keep f** that chicken!
Video: Ernie Anastos F-Bomb & Chicken Combo On Air
Ernie Anastos with co-anchor Dari Alexander during last night's Fox Channel 5 newscast. He seems to utter a particularly offensive four-letter word, as the look on her face might indicate.
Veteran NYC news anchor Ernie Anastos, who currently appears on MyFoxNY (channel 5)’s 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. broadcasts, spiced things up last night. Gawker explains, “Perhaps overloaded by transitive small talk between the weather report and a commercial break, Anastos — who once said ‘dot cock’ on live television — told meteorologist Nick Gregory that ‘it takes a tough man to make a tender forecast,’ and then, to the utter shock and appall of his co-anchor, Dari Alexander continued, ‘Keep fucking that chicken.’” Huh?
More people probably saw this video clip than the original moment. Some people viewing the clip wondered if Anastos meant to say plucking, but, it came out wrong.
Either way, the tape sure sounds like he’s saying the f-word.
Whether he said it, meant to say it, or it was another word uttered that came out sounding like the f-bomb, matters little at this point, it is still funny as F***!
What is funnier is the reaction of co-anchor Dari Alexander, whose eyes bug out and she grimaces a bit, sort of confirming she just heard the f-bomb.
Still weird! Last year, WNBC (now NBC New York!)’s Sue Simmons dropped the f-bomb during an off-camera live read promotion (but not during the actual newscast), “What the fuck are you doing?!” She appeared on the next day’s broadcast
Sheriff: Hey I can understand. Anything for ratings! and come on – nowdays what’s a little F-Bomb – especially after seeing what’s on cable! Lemme get back to plucking chickens here – and for all that know what I mean …”Have a NICE day!”
