Got me thinking of the local news clip reporting on a local Teamsters repped sanitation crew by a reporter who apparently had never heard of the Teamsters or possibly unions.
"They call themselves 'the Teamsters', and they're coming together as a team..."
I volunteered at my university radio station doing the news and weather in 1989-1992, during the fall of Soviet communism. The number of times I butchered Russian and Eastern European names must be in the 100s.

when was your "divorce" til trump pays for your tramp stamp and rent again? flea bomb the whole fucking harbor and his trump g grade zero day malware. vodka on your wound, jeff.
I don't think the clip is online, but I was once working in a newsroom when a reporter, in a live cross about an eclipse, said the sun was going to pass between the moon and the Earth. I was literally the only one who said "hang on, that can't be right?"
The fact that there's no pause with the period indicates to me that he intended the follow-up thought to be an implied reference to Dana, especially given his decades of experience.
Much like Trump (and Ron Burgundy), Ken Bastida was known for always reading out whatever the teleprompter told him to. So when he was asked to fill-in for the regular anchor (Dana, who was totally fine by the way) they decided to put it to the test (and he of course read out the text word-for-word)
Ah, apparently it wasn't a troll but was just Ken failing to put in a pause. He should have read it like this...
"Good evening, I’m Ken Bastida; Dana is off tonight (big pause). He was murdered and set on fire while celebrating his birthday. The body of Jimmy Frezshi was found by firefighters..."
Anyone who unexpectedly finds themselves on the ground in this general position and asks the person with the camera "Did you get that?" is elite, and I want to be their friend.
The professionalism of that woman, though! You watch her realize she's having a serious medical episode and she's keeping it together enough to try to introduce a clip and gracefully get off the air.
"According to a Wikipedia bio of Ken Bastida, penned by anonymous contributor Ken Bastida with additional contributions by Ken Bastida, Ken Bastida has been a reporter with Channel 5 since 1990."
He read it as written, but there should have been more of a pause. It wasn't a joke. This was just the setup for the first story. about a man who WAS murdered.
There was a news item on BBC UK about music downloads. They brought on an expert "Guy Kewney" but who had no clue what was going on - turns out it was "Guy Goma" who had turned up for an interview and got mistakenly put in front of a camera. https://youtu.be/e6Y2uQn_wvc?si=96-VP1TLXlTgIBPL
I watched it again and I actually had it confused with another one, that I can't remember clearly (obviously), but it also involved a hilarious sketch.
Oh thank you, I scrolled and scrolled and hadn’t seen this one yet and it’s my absolute favorite. I too have a country-ass accent that most of my colleagues have never heard.
Sad to report, Chris perished in a barn fire in 2021, of smoke inhalation. But thanks for the laughter - and the 21 million views this video had, Chris. 😅
I remember watching it in real time, but I don’t fully remember the antecedent…I think it was something that Chuck Scarborough did or something a PA did. Time to do some research
He meant to say “keep plucking that chicken” but he had a little freudian slip because his mind was on the chicken he was looking forward to slipping into later at home

I dunno, for myself I'd certainly sound like that after a lightning bolt.
I've always been partial to the exploding whale.

Do better for your colleague!
I know it’s not funny, & I’m inappropriate laughing , but I can’t stop.
"They call themselves 'the Teamsters', and they're coming together as a team..."
Can't find the clip now.

She died by being struck by a drunk driver while conducting a traffic stop, in case you wanted to know.

I think he's probably right; I bet he really was at least the partial inspiration for Ron Burgundy
"Good evening, I’m Ken Bastida; Dana is off tonight (big pause). He was murdered and set on fire while celebrating his birthday. The body of Jimmy Frezshi was found by firefighters..."

Wrong on so many levels.
The cheese grin.
The upbeat note.
The dramatic music.
The words - he's your colleague ffs man.
