Dan Rather space shuttle prank call

[aj49robertson]

If the person getting pranked doesn't know it's a prank, you're not very good at pranking

[miasma1616]

LOL Dan Rather - "I am an idiot".

[penske369]

I totally, totally remember this, and never thought I'd see it again!

[TheNickster2011]

@penske369 me too!

[56therealLT]

what a fucktard.

the black guy knew it was a prank

[TheyCallMeMrHappy]

What's the frequency Kenneth?

[imallpissedoff]

Arrogant, dumbass, left wing, liberal, traitor, Dan Rather ended his career in ignominy.

Serves him right for all the biased bullshit he spewed for so many years.

[loner1878]

@imallpissedoff

Go back to watching your Faux Noise.

[imallpissedoff]

@loner1878

I don't watch Fox news but, a lot more people do watch Fox than all the liberal douchebag channels I'm sure you watch.

So get back to fondling your inflatable Obama lovey doll.

[loner1878]

@imallpissedoff

Yeah, there's big population of inbred wingnut hicks in this country.

Go back to sucking Glen Beck's dick.

[imallpissedoff]

@loner1878

And there's also a big population of effete, liberal, Obamabot lefties who still believe they know how to solve the world's problems, even though they're the ones creating them.

Now get back down there under Dan Blather's desk and do that vodoo that you do so well.

[imallpissedoff]

Guy on the right wants to laugh his ass off !

[imallpissedoff]

We've all known for years that Rather is a biased idiot but, it's still satisfying to hear him say it.

[jsalge7]

He said: " Euless, TX "

That place actually exists lol.

[619badazz13]

haha funny as fuck " hahahah lmao

[imallpissedoff]

Horse toothed jackass.

[toastichedu]

Does Euleff Texas even exist? I can't find it on Google.

[27xthesuccess]

Baba Booey's teeth. Priceless

[TWOhits6]

i like how dan uses his mellow anchor voice to hid his anger .. lol.. like the call was part of the story

[Scars4lyfe08]

lol there are 6 people who've never watched howard stern before.

[Videoneoneo]

How was that funny?

[Kloborgg]

Weird, I didn't laugh. Even putting the situation and tragedy aside, it was genuinely unfunny. A legend? If you say so.

[Treman262]

It's really funny because the guy making the call seemd to get annoyed. Rather didn't even know he was pranked and it almost ruined the joke.

[EmceeSpawn]

LMAO!!!!! great fucking prank

"ur a real idiot u know that?"

[greydawn]

He handled that very well, haha. Everybody wins.

[saltycreefer]

Hilarious

[Gdayguy36]

Making light of a terrible disaster like that is just obnoxious. Believe me, I'm one to make light of a bad situation myself. But that was over the line in my opinion.

[StevenDFenrich]

All class on Rather's part.

[crazypackersfan]

That is absolutely hilarious, that Rather still had no idea it was a prank call and asked a follow-up question. No wonder he got pushed out.

[msk7046]

It is funny but the tragedy isn't....some comic relief I suppose.

Don't they have ANY delay????

[marshalljimduncan]

Atleast he admits he's an idiot.

[fullclip16117]

hahahahaha, oh my god. This guy is unstoppable! LOL>

[hattrickster33]

Nah man, one of his teeth would be twice as big as the ENTIRE space shuttleXD

[GmanGregilla]

Woah, Dan really did not have to be so inclined to have seemingly opportunistically self-depreciated himself so much on-air here. But, perhaps it came differently to him.

[napalmvoododaddy]

baba booey !! frickin great !!!

[otrice53]

LOLOLOL I actually witnessed this and laughed my balls off...

[baconhead2008]

"Euleff, Texas" or You Left Texas

[RSCII]

LMAO!!

[ecwforever]

He's not just an idiot, he's a biased idiot.

[DarthMakaveliSithMC]

The whole taking calls from the public crap is one big mistake on the part of TV news stations. Why don't they do some real reporting, some real journalism work, and verify the people calling, and only take calls from people they're completely sure of? Oh, that's right, ratings and advertising.

[MrGrevy]

Yes, Dan, you ARE and idiot.

[yitzchak13]

I was watching the show when this prank call happened. I saw it on live TV. This was the first and only prank call I've ever seen. I'm glad I was able to find it :)

[billiardjay]

Hey! It's disgraced former news-reader Dan Rather!

[7jerryv7]

Dan handled that very well.

[katey1dog]

You're a real idiot you know that?

[TeslaDRay]

@katey1dog

Steve Langford's mother's a cunt.

[hammr25]

lol, They spelled Euless, TX wrong too!

[KangaKucha]

I;m amazed he didn't lose his mind then

[wulfshelmut]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO­LOLOL Also Nasa= failure and lies LOLOLOLOLOLOL

[MyssNyss]

Win by Dan

[rayzortek]

DAN THE FABRICATOR RATHER 

[AMpufnstuf]

nobody could handle that better than rather

[sidewalkpilot]

captain janks

[ARoboticShark]

Im sorry but that guy was a complete idiot. Completely Inappropiate! Lives were lost in that disaster and he comes on and calls the presenter an idiot. There are times to 'prank call' news channels because they are just so boring. But this was definetly not one of them!

[vigo894]

@ARoboticShark= True. I love a good prank call. Though, not in times of tragedy. That guy is an asshole. Must be a hillbilly who married his sister/donkey. Ha ha ha.

[ARoboticShark]

@vigo894 Must be a hillbilly whos fallen down a well and straight into his sister (whos a donkey) (;D) 's arsehole.

[gyromancy2]

HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! Howard stern fans and pranksters are a funny bunch.

[hootie248]

The Great Captain Janks!

[22reTOYOTA]

EULESS Tx!!

[ZX2ManDave]

Hey Dan, Bushs National Guard papers fell out of the shuttle and into my back yard last week!

[joeyinempirestate]

God rest those heroes' souls, but Dan Rather is a leftist nutjob propagandist, fuck him., bigtime.

[copraiders1]

What a piece of shit. Fuck whoever did this. I am all for a prank but not during something like this.

[Lootraevefan]

LMAO!

[PaulG85]

I remember watching live when this happened.

[MrChedda313]

nice lmao

[20carrocks]

HILARIOUS. Jenks is a legend....

[Remembermylai]

@20carrocks

What a legend! I'll piss on his fucking coffin!

[MoneyVideoz]

Damn what was so fucked up, he shouldn't have said your an idiot like that on air.

[kf8295]

@MoneyVideoz He called him an idiot because Dan didn't get the joke and was actually trying to continue the interview legitimately. It took the co-anchor to tell him it was a prank.

[porpus99]

I usually like howard stern prank calls, but that was not a good time for that. We had just lost several astronauts and a shuttle.

[valandilcamcacil]

Ii'm an idiot and that's beside the point

lol

[RJN0607]

@valandilcamcacil was he referring 2 the zapruder film mis-report

[lighth4zard]

@valandilcamcacil He's a man for admitting it.

[crook99x]

dan rathers an idiot

[Freebie1975]

Its Euless Texas not Euleff

[AfflictedMind]

you guys are fucked. Lighten up. Jesus.

[hockeyplaya131]

I lightened jesus up, i threw a crucifix into a bonfire... Jesus screamed and screamed he was going to hell, then the shrooms stopped working... Jusus was still burning tho, it was awesome! Imaginary people on a wooden cross in the fire... so epic!

[califsucks]

you are stupid. Not surprising you play faggot hockey. Idiot. People died in this.Stern has no shame. He's a Jew and should be gased in an oven.

[hockeyplaya131]

Do you understand what your saying clifsucks? Throw the Jew's into the gas chamber? Where is THE gas chamber? I never knew there was only one. But if such actions were to take place, who would do our manual labor? Who would run the banks? Americans? Those fat lazy fucks? Seriously, think about what your talking about.. Or better yet, go deepthroat a shotgun.

Cheers!

[spikedawg1970]

What happened there Katherine, have a bad incident in a Rest Area bathroom. And what is gased anyway? You give Cali a bad name Laverne.

[eyemknotstoopid]

Howard has noting to do with these calls. they're ussually done by fans.

as for the jew remark... nevermind.

[dena81]

I remember when I was watching this and that happened and laughing hysterically that Dan Rather still kept talking to him like nothing XD.

[DisneysBack1]

Best day of my life when the shuttle went kaboooom

[richcasella]

Theres a time and a place for everything

[lever20065]

thats captian janks

[Simon839]

Aww, man, certain news reporters should be off-limits to prank callers. Leave Dan Rather alone; he's a serious journalist and doesn't deserve to be called an idiot. (He already got attacked by some nut who asked him, "What's the frequency, Kenneth?")

[EndeavourLaunch]

What a horrible call..

might as well made it on 9/11 (which someone did)

[hockeyplaya131]

Lol I did it too! Some people need a laugh here and there. Although my crank call was not about 9/11 mine was about fish heads fish heads rolly-polly-fish-heads!

[EndeavourLaunch]

Fuck you, they don't need a laugh when 7 people are fucking disintegrating overhead, they can laugh at Cartoon Network or George Bush getting shoes thrown at him.

[hockeyplaya131]

Who wouldn't wanna laugh after such a sad day? NASA sent an unsafe vehicle into space and paid the consequences. I'm sure there was someone at NASA that said "Whoops! Guess I forgot to fix that!"

[EndeavourLaunch]

Spaceflight is risky period. No one suspected that the foam damage was THAT bad, unlike Challenger with the O-Ring were there were attempts to stop the launch. We're not the only ones with accidents, the Russians had two accidents that they lost the whole crew. Soyuz 1 and 11. Both re-entry accidents. Point being,

yes the space shuttle is unsafe, going to space is unsafe but the conquest of space is worth the risk of human life, our god given curiosity and lust to explode provides that.

[hockeyplaya131]

So if the risk is worth human life, as you just said, then basically your saying, nobody should give a fuck because they did the shit they needed to do in space and then died.

[EndeavourLaunch]

Wrong sir, because they willingly go forth into the unknown as heroes. You OBVIOUSLY are a teen, because you would know this is untrue. People were crying in 1986 when Space Shuttle challenger blew up.. everywhere in the nation people were crying.

[hockeyplaya131]

You obviously fail at life. People cried when they learned that the JFK assassination was an inside job. People cried when Monroe died. Hell, people cried when they realized religions are mainstream cults. OBVIOUSLY your to stupid to realize everyone can be a hero to one person. Wasting time in space to learn that a frog vomits it's own stomach up in space isn't heroic. Look it up, THAT was an actual test! You tell me how that test is heroic, and you can have a cookie!

[EndeavourLaunch]

I stopped reading after you said 'inside job'

your obviously a nut.

[spikedawg1970]

Hard to argue the fact, when it was declared a conspiracy, four shots were fired and Oswald's paraffin? tests were negative, meaning he never fired a gun.

[EndeavourLaunch]

Random but alright if you say so.

[ARMORALLL]

LOFL! Dan Rather's an idiot! Atleast he knows it!

[tedtheshed]

he tried to be the next OJ caller and failed miserably.

[CVKent317]

That was not cool... It was fucking awful

A space-shuttle burned up on re-entry and seven people got barbecued to death and this bastard's making prank-calls about it.

[somefarkerdude]

classy

[SCE2AUX]

I'm no fan of Dan Rather, but the caller was an asshole.

[yakomuto]

yeah, that's not really funny as people died.

[AROUNDBLACKS]

that makes it funnier

[yakomuto]

Only sometimes... in this case it really just seemed inapropriate.

[adriande1]

Wow Dan Rather really is an idiot.

[Gamezero05]

How did this video make you think he was an idiot?

[adriande1]

It didn't, I've always thought he was an idiot.

[mykylc]

Anything to be first on the story.

[2006DURAMAX]

Totally inappropriate given the circumstances that 7 people just lost their lives. There's a time and a place for these. I feel as if this prank was directed to the families of these astronauts and NASA and not much to Dan Rather. But he rather handled it well.

[osalcido85]

People die all the time, GET OVER IT

[JoeyFudd]

What a stiff jerk Rather looks like! He tries to play it too serious after he's been punked. He comes across as a pompous phony! Screw him. He's no Peter Jennings!

[oldupchuck2]

DANNO, You finally spoke truth....you are an idiot. hahahahahaahahahhahahahaaaa lol

[Charagrin]

This has degenerated to the point where I will not be responding anymore. Please continue though. You just make me look better and better.

[Charagrin]

You caught me, Shivering in my boots.

[Charagrin]

Again, I don't fear you, Just pity you. I know that in real life you would not say these things because lets face it, Your a coward. I feel bad for you because you are in a argument you can't win, And you know it. So you are resorting to insults in an attempt to force this argument into a flame war which no one will win. But I won't sink into that. You are over-matched. have a nice day.

[Charagrin]

Lets see. 4 major businesses in the New England area with a total net worth of over 8 million. Never had a divorce and been with my first wife for 20 years and we have 2 kids,  A celebrated LEO career with over 50 assorted commendations, 2 Purple hearts and planning on going on my 4th(Thats FOURTH) VOLUNTARY tour in Iraq, And finally completely and utterly crushing your argument here. You can say whatever you want but ultimately I am better then you. Think about that.

[Charagrin]

I am no smarter then any other Joe. You know, Aside from some major successes I have had that few others have. Ether way, Have at it.

[Charagrin]

So please, Keep the insults coming. You impress, intimidate, And inspire love in no one.

[Charagrin]

Probably, She is old, And gramps has been dead for about 6 years now. Whats the saying. "Use it or lose it" I think. On a side note, You can try anything you like. Ultimately I do not care what you say because I know in real life you are a scared little girl who is jealous of his betters. So I don't judge you, Just pity you. Have nice day.

[Charagrin]

Ty, Course you'l have a few years to wait. Hehe, She ain't dead yet. 93 And still kicking.

[Charagrin]

Why? Because I hate a person willing to make fun of a national tragedy involving the deaths of 7 human beings? What a good person you are. Have fun in hell.

[Charagrin]

I am gonna go with....NO. Muhaha

[lottoscratcher121]

"and it is true i'm in idiot but that's beside the point" LOL looks like dan rather has some self-esteem problems.

[Charagrin]

What a good way to make fun of the astronauts who died. Someone needs to find that little piece of shit and kill him. Simple as that.

[gsxrbuckeye]

what a real dick head.

[Ginyu]

I can't believe anyone thinks Howard Stern fan prank calls are funny.The dude was funnier at the end when he just called Rather an idiot,but any Ba Ba Booey jokes are stupid.I could think of ten funnier things to say if I was a dickweed prank caller than refer to a retarded Howard Stern reference.Not so embarrassing for Rather not getting a retard joke.

[riffz0r]

I feel as though this was a bit inappropriate JACKSON DELL'ABATE!JACKSON DELL'ABATE!JACKSON DELL'ABATE!JACKSON DELL'ABATE!JACKSON DELL'ABATE!

[lonerook860]

These prank calls represent pathetic cowards, who feel big by feeding off the available public attention a national tragedy causes. He should have been strapped to the fucking shuttle nose cone.

[abdibill]

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ool

[hardcore69hippie]

I love the captains work and always have...the surfer who got attacked by shark is best.. but this is during a time that half a billion(howards salary)of our tax dollars...and lives..were lost..

[SkunkApeDrone187]

i wish the other Columbia shuttle prank call was still up where Janks actually says Howard Stern's name, i hate howard, but the prank calls done by him and his fans are funny

[sidewalkpilot]

CAPTAIN JANKS FOREVER

[aypee16]

i'm pretty sure its euless TX not euleff hahahah

[mowriter]

Dan's a gentleman's gentleman, willing to say he's an idiot, be self-effacing, etc.

[keepinitpithy]

who's a bigger idiot, dan or capt. janks?

[jet472000]

i know this was a sad day, but man...when he called dan rather an idiot, i couldn't help myself!

[metalickneecaps]

Goofballs like him.Or like you?

[Rollinabigbone420]

LoL!!!

No Way!!!

Someone pranked Dan Rather!!

LMAO!!

I love it!!!

[randommagnum]

I don't think any debris even fell as far west as Euless, did it? Not that Dan Rather or anyone else would've know that at the time, but I'm just asking...

[bcforn64]

"I am an idiot but that's beside the point". Most profound quote ever!

[fls360]

I remember this! And i almost pissed myself laughing when Dan admitted that he was an idiot! What a work of art he is! lol

[inkey2]

one of baba booie's teeth......thats a Howard Stern fan

[prrolg]

Dan has a typewriter made from Baba boeys teeth. That's how much of an idiot he really is. Qwerty McFooFah!

[flatsignedbooks]

NOT YOU bcwhite

[flatsignedbooks]

listen to him more carefully, it ain't Euleff. You may have been watching but you are not a Texan. Euleff, haha

[maniacmiler]

Oh! I remember this happening!

[debaucheryBotched]

Oh nooo!!! he didn't. LOL

[prausch65]

Why does funny stuff always happen to Dan Rather? "Whats the Frequency Kenneth"?

[xxxmaggiejane]

Ahahahaha!

This has inspired soooo many inside jokes with my mother.

[vgdrmmr]

these are the best

[Verogg55]

i cant believe he actually fucking called dan rather an idiot on national tv!!! and it does sound like captain janks. he is amazing.

[tattypatty]

This is so great. Is that Janks? He is a genius...

[healthhavencom]

He handled it professionally. But why would he call himself idiot?

[VanIsleBC]

lol he didn't even know what it meant.

[tonzimala]

Rather's first national broadcast, misreporting what he'd "seen" in the Zapruder film:

"At that moment when the President had his right hand up to the side of his face he lurched just a bit forward. It was obvious that the first shot had hit him. Governor Connelly with his coat open, his button was undone, turned in this manner.  The Governor was obviously hit by a bullet. Another bullet obviously hit the head of the President. The President's head moved forward violently in this manner."

[chilliwhiggerE]

At least Dan is honest about his idiocy. I would have told him I wast in his COLON.

[tnvincesanity]

why is everyone hating on dan, its really sad..

[zachromero]

He is an idiot. He must not be paying attention.

[weatherexpert2]

This is disgusting! 7 people lost their lives and all this moron can think to do is make prank phone calls on national television like a little 5 year old calling 911. How Sad.

[HydrOxyBoost]

Why don't you apologize for you being a prank reporter?

[johnmiles]

Handled with class and humility by Mr. Rather.

[slabs81]

capt. janks tells idiot that there's baba boey's teeth in his back yard and idiot asks janks to explain to his viewers whare euliff, texas is? you think that is classy? you must be a democrat.

[johnmiles]

Uh, just because he doesn't keep up with every lame Howard Stern meme doesn't make him an idiot. He obviously didn't understand what the guy meant and chose to shrug it off. But the way he handled it when he discovered it was a prank was indeed classy and professional. And I'm as much of a fan of crank calls as anyone else, btw, I just didn't think this one was that funny.

And I'm not sure what the hell it has to do with anything, but yeah, I'm a democrat. And you're a jackass, I presume?

[slabs81]

your 20 years old and a big dan rather fan? and i'm a jackass? fyi i knew you were a dem cause you didn't make any sense

[SlowAndSteady2]

In General Republicans are more in the dark than Democrats. Not that it matters what side you are on: the same dark puppet masters pull both parties' strings, and want you to remain as you are. Ignorant and obedient.

[slabs81]

are you talking about the illuminaty, slow?

[SlowAndSteady2]

The Illuminati. There is so much disinformation available politically through the media and even on the web, that the disinformation on their bloodlines and actions themselves are largely ignored, the real truths are scarcely revealed. To make matters worse, they have dedicated vast resources to confuse genuine researchers into the occult, mystery religions, and genetics to understand the origins humans' and their traits. On that note, the human genome shows signs of tampering.

Trust no one.

[slabs81]

what do you mean about the tampering comment, i think your right on mostly but i never heard about the tampering issue.

[Thycid]

Right, and Pigs can fly.

[NewsOnDemand]

Classy response by Rather. He wins.

[slabs81]

classy? you must be a bigger dumbass than rather, or just another out of touch liberal like he is!!!

[MullisMixes]

Wouldn't the majority of Stern's listeners be described as liberal?

[slabs81]

he's got all kinds, and a bunch of dan rather vans too.

[giantpants5000]

fuck salt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[giantpants5000]

dan rather in not an idiot!!!

Mike is a butt fucker and hismomma is an idiot!!

[ManuelHung]

that has to be one of the lamest comment ever committed to the internet...

[Slutmangler1]

Lamest? That should never have even been admitted as a word...

[ManuelHung]

What the shit are you talking about?
