  • The result of years of having your azz kissed. What a pompous fool.

  • Television news is a very odd branch of show business.

  • Derek Smalls is the greatest bass player in the history of metal.

  • dan wanted to look cool and hip! pop ur collar dan! LMAO

  • OMG!! It's Seymor Skinner! Ned Flanders! the dude from The Simpsons! I LOVE YOU

  • I guess I don't see what the big deal is.

  • What's the frequency Kenneth?

  • I appreciated Dan's passion for the news but it's apparent that his ego got in the way of his reporting. It's a shame.

  • You are a true legend Dan........ In your own Fking mind!!!!

  • He didn't take twenty minutes deciding. He spent a couple of minutes in total spread over twenty.

  • Rather didn't "push aside" Walter Cronkite, you idiot! CBS had a mandatory retirement age of 65. Otherwise, Cronkite would've continued to anchor the news until his death and neither Rather nor Couric would've ever anchored CBS Evening News.

  • Dan looks better here than after they fired his sorry ass. Cronkite told him to read more, but the complete Rather was keener on chasing hurricanes and other daring do.

  • what's with all his weird sucking noises????/????????

  • Did he just finish eating his lunch or something? Damn, somebody get him a toothpick or some floss or something.

    "We have a decision now."

    Awesome.

  • Dan is a no good, useless, lying, SOB.

  • @talon115 No, that would be the majority of the talentless whores on Faux News.

  • sssssssssssssssSSSSSsss... shit i think i left the kettle on..

  • theres 6:22 minutes ill never get back

  • @120pure021

    yeah i was hoping Dan Rather talking bc i wanted to see if he wouldv done that thing from Family Guy lol

  • Haven't any of you guys ever been filmed in this fashion? They have tons of people around the set paid to manage lighting and color just like this every time they turn the camera on. It's a long vain process they do in movies and tv all the time.

  • Hi there, Mr. Dan-I'd-Rather-Not Say.

    I have a question for you. How on Earth do you keep a straight face when you get those really ridiculous answers on the air?

    I triple-dog-dare-you to laugh in public.

  • Comment removed

  • i may not be a fan of his politics but he seems like an okay guy to work with, just my two cents.

  • Collar up. 4 sure. The rather is always right. Gotta love him. Jeff is an idiot.

  • they are all the same ...whats the point ...

  • What an egomaniac. How much effort can be wasted on something so worthless.

  • You all just hate Dan because he couldn't stand the right wing nut jobs; INCLUDING bush! shut your cake hole! He never twisted and over sensationalized the news Like these idiots on FOX, etc. do..

  • This was dumb as dirt.

  • Did this POS ever finish a complete sentence?

    You know he was an alcoholic. Really big drinker.

    @ 110- 120 producer says "" I brought some decaf""

    And Dan says "" well, aj was bringing some""

    He is talking about alcohol... SERIOUSLY.

    And what the fuck is with his mouth?

  • Omg! He does whistle when he pronounces his "S" sounds!

  • hes from the simpsons

  • What a self-important liberal twat. I'm so pleased his career fittingly ended in disgrace.

  • I can never take Dan Rather seriously anymore after watching that Family Guy episode, lol.

  • I think that even Elvis spend less time, preparing for his Vegas shows he he he .

  • Dan should rather worry about his old turkey skin on his neck.

  • What's the frequency kenneth?

  • I think im the only one in the world besides the dudes from REM who gets that....

  • hehe...

  • ssh

  • dan, maybe you can type up some phony documents for your story.

  • coat or no coat ??? Jeff likes the color up I like it down....

    What the fuck!!!

    Mr Rather likes his color up ...are you a journalist or a diva?

  • I spent less time getting ready for my wedding.

  • Isn't that the dude from Married With Children?

  • lol...while i see the resemblance and never thought of that before until now....he is in fact harry shearer the voice of many characters on the simpsons

  • Typical liberal elitist. Pretends to be worried about all of humanity when he's really only worried about his own comfort. He's preening liked a peacock while the soldiers he's reporting on are dying for our country.

  • what should he do? Grab a carbine and run onto the next plane to Iraq?

    He's a professional trying to perfect what he does.

  • he lost AHAHAHAHA a fitting end to a pinhead  liberals

  • Dan Rather's lawsuit was dismissed.

    As Nelson on the Simpson's would say.....

    "HAHA!"

  • Dan Rather's lawsuit was dismissed. Fuck Dan Rather! He's a commie-lib, sniveling opportunist who was a disgrace to journalism.

    And now the court just affirmed that. His end was a fitting end for such a corrupt, left wing buffoon. Dan Rather willingly slandered W Bush in an unsuccessful effort to sway a national election.

    What a pathetic attempt that backfired on his ass. Poetic Justice! Dan Rather left a real black eye on the industry he debased for far too long. Good Riddance!

  • Can you believe that Dan Rather sued the same network that made him a millionaire and allowed him to anchor the news for over twenty years?

  • @catholicpriest1 can you believe cbs news replaced Dan Rather with that no talent whore?

    You fucking moron.

  • @catholicpriest1 Why not? Husbands and Wives do the same all the time. My german shepherd is more loyal than all of humanity! 

  • @catholicpriest1 didnt CBS fire Dan Rather for telling the truth about Bush's military record?? next to Walter Cronkite , Rather is one of the best newsmen PERIOD.

  • @allenwood100 Err, no, Rather was fired for lying about Bush's military record. Rather and Mapes had tarted-up documents that their own experts told them were fakes. They aired it anyway. He had a vendetta against the Bushes going back decades, and it cost him. He disgraced himself and his profession.

  • @kaewonf8  NOT ...... Rather told the truth and since he wont reveal his sources,CBS had no choice but to release him or feel the rath of "President" Bush and the right wing conservative bile movement

  • tonight on ccbs newss sseven ssaudi ssoldierss ssatimized sseveral of ssadams ssouthern ssettlement ssquatersssss

  • haha thats the only reason i watched this video

  • LOL

  • @atl1192 Man I love that... :D

  • @atl1192 Gotta love family guy

  • @atl1192 whaha seth xD

  • ya know what's so funny about all of this? NO ONE NOTICED WHAT YOU WORE DAN. no, really, we didn't. silly as it is, we were just interested in listening to the news. i know, crazy, right?

  • He can't hear you. :P

  • haha hes acts like a tea pot in familyguy

  • It's a shitty job. The crew are resentful half of the time,cause he comes in does his stuff and goes, and is famous. He has to look after his health, and his...look. In these visual,narcisistic times, it's NO surprise. It's TV.

  • Hello, im dan rather, welcome to CBSSSSS NEWSSSSSSS i hated him!!! his annoying voice!!!

  • Rather was such a douche

  • What's so bad about this video?? He was freezing and still joking around.. And it's TV, of course they're worried about the clothes! Big deal..

  • that ass is full of himself

  • thats how show bizz is all about ! I use too work in TV and now with this HD era it is really necessary to work at least 30 minutes before going live to the air !

  • Dan is a disgrace. On the UP side he helped destroy the Media

  • i just waited for someone to do a pushkick in his chest and send him of the roof!! what an asshole

  • Image, image, image. This serves as a good example of why it is better to get your news from newspapers.

  • Comment removed

  • Fucking self important horse shit .....Dan fucking Rather is a member of the CFR .....COUNCIL ON FORIEGN RELATION AKA ILLUMINATI !

  • Sure must have been a slow news day.

  • Comment removed

  • Too bad Rather has been blackballed by CBS.

  • What a self-important trivial leftwing fuckbag.

  • Dan Rather is a lying piece of crap!

  • Dam it. Bad call with the coat thing.

    CBS will probably drop you now! If only you left the coat off. Arggggh

  • Coat or no coat....jeez that's a tough call. Ok coat but tear the collar off and for God's sake Rather put on a pair of pants! but leave the zipper down.

  • What's the frequency Kenneth??? Nice guy and Newscaster but I think he has some issues...

  • Principal Skinner!!!!!! I love you in spinal tap. Good report too.

  • omg it's a fuckin coat! lol

  • i believe they are giving him a message of being left out in the cold and at the top.

  • take a step to the right. then another. now step back, step back again, step back one more time, that's it back yourself right off this building.

  • "I agree with you, the coat's SUBTLE."

  • the man speaking at the beginning is the voice of mr. burns

  • and Waylon Smithers, Ned Flanders, Reverend Timothy Lovejoy, Kent Brockman, Dr. Hibbert, Lenny Leonard, Principal Skinner, Otto Mann and Rainier Wolfcastle :)

  • News broadcasting at its finest.

  • Courage. It took courage for Dan to wear that coat.  Courage.

  • these guys aren't real reporters they're actors and tha'ts where the sham lies

  • oh yeah and rathers is a good guy once you get to know him.

  • hmmm....how 'bout that coat.....?

    well..we should move on.....sooooo.....how 'bout that coat?

  • family guy

  • d as in dan rather a is in ah its dan rather

  • ssssssooo sssssssssscbsssss thankssssssss almosssssst sssssssssssssssss for everything he has to whistle

  • No coat. Pepsi. No Pepsi. Coat.

  • Standard video set, nothing out of the ordinary. I'm suprised they didn't make him chew ice to get hid his breath.

  • Everyone who is criticizing Dan for this bit is a fucking moron...NONE of you cretins knows anything about broadcasting...YES, tfustudios...you got it right!

  • I know something about broadcasting. First of all any republican is the stupidest person alive..yet ever conspiracy the try, works flawlessly. For example Bush can't walk and chew gum but he brought down the mighty Dan Rather. Bush did all these "illegal" things, but Dan couldn't use all the evidence out there, he had to use a "reliable source" who lied about everything. Interesting isn't it?

  • he whistles a lot when he says his "s"

  • yea thAT was the whole joke in family guy thats why i searched this video to see if he realy sounds like that

  • omg same

    its fukn hilarious HAHAHHA

  • same roflll

  • Ted Baxter. Mediocrity made famous because he is an errand boy -- big break came when he lied as instructed about what he saw on the Zapruder film on 11-22-1963. "The president slumped forward ..." indeed!

  • I'd RATHER not watch CBS.

  • Actually this is not offensive, all anchors do this crap. It is nice to see old Dan again, before he went totally crazy and started manufacturing news with Mary Mapes.

  • That's what's called TV production, morons!

    Bill O Reilly, Bill Maher and yes, even Howard Stern have the same 'concerns' in front of the camera.

  • crazy person..

  • U GUYS R IDIOTS! This guy is one douche! he spends more than 20 minutes abiout wether or not he should wear the coat. Wat a fairy

  • What else is he supposed to talk about...

  • why dont you suck my balls.. kenneth

  • What's the Frequency, Kenneth?

  • haha. i think i just wasted 3 minutes of my life

  • And who's to blame?

  • what a pussy! you cant even see his breath!

  • Is this real???

    When I get famous I'm gonna a complete prick....just like you.

    The guy at the DNC in '68 shoulda' kicked you in the nuts instead of the phantom punch to the stomach......asshole.

  • Hey Dan...make sure you don't have fake documents...oh wait that Joe Biden

  • hahahaha terrible joke... absolutely horrid.. you must be a bush lover

  • green is good

  • Instead of worrying about the coat/no coat controversy he should try growing a brain inside his skull.

  • Wow! Now I know why they made the movie "anchorman" and I thought Katie Couric was the vainity queen. Do these idiots care about what they report or just read from the teleprompter?

  • Dan Rather=douche

  • ditto, now i see why they protrayed him on The Simpsons!lol...

  • it just came out today that dan rather was right. the story was accurate and the gop did go after him.  i can'twait until karl rove is in prison.

  • What kind of question is that coat or no coat uh duhh....fucken retard

  • have you guys seen the family guy skit with him talkin bout sadam. that right there is classic. if you havent seen it the episode is "Petarded". hilarious.

  • Haha yeah that episode was funny thats why I looked his name up haha XD

  • you too?!!lol...

  • uh..........what???

  • What i meant to ask, was you also found this douche bag hilarious, considerin' vanity more important than true grit journalism, when you replied to achiyan 'bout the funny episode of the Simpsons and you mention thats why youlooked his name up. Sorry if i caused you to get a bit pissed off!=P

  • What a fuckin carry on what a Jerk. What the hell does giving your coat to a homeless person have to do with anything in this video?! A jackass commented previously about how reporters give their coats to homeless ppl all the time defending Rather..WTF moron

  • Dan Rather has been involved in every major news event for nearly 50 years. He reported from the Kennedy assassination, the front lines in every war, and strapped to telephone polls in hurricanes.

    In this video he is about to go on a live national feed to millions of people. I think spending 10 minutes (yes, 10 minutes if you take out wind, lighting, etc conversations) on whether to put the collar up or down isn't really that big of a deal. Far less than Katie's Uggs and that damn button.

  • Collar up for sure.

  • I can't believe I watched this whole thing.

  • what a spoiled prick!!! who cares coat or no coat!!!! there r ppl freezing to death due to homelessness, etc...so what if he is chilly or a short time! let's just make a fuckin decision!!what a bloody carry on!!!!! Jackass

  • how many of your own coats have you given to homeless men & women? reporters do this all the time, they're human beings too. this is standard operating procedure. aesthetics; looking credible, are as important as the content of the news being presented. a jackass is the guy who'd rather namecall than show empathy OR understanding

  • Now we know where the emphasis is on todays news- how do anchors look?. Check out the piece on Katie Couric by the same author. She dishes him, but seems like such an airhead.

  • Watching this, it finally hit me... he's George Clooney - a political hack driven by vanity.

  • This is exactly how I feel when I can't decide whether to wear my trench coat or not.

  • Holy crap...why the fuck did you make me watch this. Where was the laughs? It was dumb.

  • Because this is how they get you to quit - send in lackeys to have you move the couch from one side of the room to the other over and over again until you realize what they're doing and then explode in frustration and exhaustion. Then they can say that you're unstable and thus unfit. Dan kept his cool this time.

  • Narcissistic prick is who he is. The best moment in his career was when he walked off a live show in a bratty rage. What ever happened to journalism, and objectivity? Leave the subjectivity to the op-ed page and the talking head news opinion shows. All Dan Rather ever did was let us know how He felt by f'in with the facts. Just give me the facts without the narcissistic vain man.

  • People have to understand something. This is the nature of this business. I believe people forget that news is entertainment, filled with 30 second sound bites and a bunch of vain people.

    There is nothing wrong with that if you can understand that television is like being in advertising, here today, gone tomorrow.

    I remember Rather when he was putting his ass on the line in the 60's in Vietnam. He is one of the few that helped bring the war into reality. He deserves a little respect.

  • Good point. I'm sure if a lot of the people here were going to be on TV in front of millions they'd take into account what they were going to look like. This is only a small aspect of the many things Rather would have going through his head at that time and his attention to detail is a testament to his professionalism, not "vanity".

  • "NObody wears a trench coat with the collar down." "I can't IMAGINE wearing a trench coat with the collar down" Haha! This would fit right into the movie Anchorman LOL.

  • Anchor or wanker? You decide... :-)

  • I can't help but to think "Smithers!"

  • I am Dan Rather. Do not patronize me.

  • Looks like Dan would rather have the coat.

    HA!

  • Why does he keep sucking/licking his teeth?? Is he using his tongue as floss?

  • Watching this whole thing I am losing the will to live. There must be more to life than coller up or coller down. Arrrrrrrggggh....

  • I'm an anchor...I wish I got this much attention before air time! Its all in the details...coat or no coat...

  • haha... well get yourself known on a national level and you will ;-)

  • green IS good!

  • If this is the WORST off-camera behavior the 'anti-Dan Rather' mob can produce, what it says is that he seems like quite a nice guy off-camera. It's cold, windy & he's outdoors, but he's smiley, he doesn't raise his voice, he's not swearing or going nuts, and he's polite to his team. The coat may seem trivial, but it affects lighting (who are there setting his key-light and backlight). So regardless of what you think of his politics - this is a pro anchor making sure the broadcast looks right.

  • 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."

  • nothing special...just news prep.

  • Anchor people are actors, this is normal. Give it a rest.

  • This guy has issues.

  • Luckily they were able to prove the military papers on GW Bush were fake. This @ss almost caused Kerry to get elected, Kerry would have withdrawn the troops causing us to lose the war and al-qaeda and Iran would've been trumpeting their victory over the US. US essentially won the war in two weeks "Shock and Awe" the rest was what happens when you keep a society in tyranny for generations then give them freedom to do what they want. They needed to go mad for a bit. They are on the right path now.

  • he looks great with the coat and without it.

  • I don't understand the noisy ads next to videos.. I can't watch or hear the videos if there are ads screaming on top of them. Ads should be silent unless i click on them..

  • what a fucking asshole!!! GO AWAY!

  • The best thing would have been...the final interview was with NO COAT!

  • lol classic

  • serious business
