Hung-over anchorman

[MyFreedomChannel]

It's too bad that jwmoret closed his YouTube account.

[schlong19]

poor dude

[QuantumoftheOpera]

If he actually burped it would be funnier.

[KalicoKat1]

[2000masquerade]

holy shit thats alot of make up hes whereing

[87shadowfox]

That lil prick.had.fun

[andy23822]

Sure you forgot your earpiece....it's o.k. Jim, we were all hungover for two days...your secret's good with me pal.........

[tacomadc]

He could be having an asthma attack or a panic/hyperventillation episode!

both can be extremely debilitating.

See a Chiropractor!!!! Helps with both!

[Soniczeldaking]

I bet he smells like guilt.

[GROSSATV]

Lmao......jim you were chocolate milk wasted

[jonvil2009]

Earl and Floyd Robertson

[OldNewsThinker]

maybe he's just really really really passionate

[jimmoret]

In retrospect, I should have simply explained to viewers what happened but of course that's with the hindsight of 22 more yearsof experience. I still laugh when I think about that morning.

[unconventionalmeans]

@jimmoret

Yup, that was my first thought when I watched this clip.

"Why didn't he just stop his reading and smile at the camera....and then tell the folks why he's so winded?"

[L0R3N23]

He was SOOOOOOOOO about to barf!!!

Or he just read the breaking news report and it said that they found his wife and kids dead with his fingerprints all over them

Hahahahahaha

[dudeme12]

he eyes are watering!! poor guy

[skyler0248]

hahahahahhahah

[GeekingForJesus]

He sounds like a nervous guy, to me.

[youtert]

BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE

[liegeofshadows]

@youtert yeah, i lost the game.

[danolson68]

I had no idea Cliff Richard moonlighted as an anchorman. Who knew.

[sharonkayb]

He doesn't seem hung over just out of breath.

[khrystal1968]

Hung over!

[irisheyes1792]

Everyone gets sick now and than,but I only checked him out because of his father who was once a gorgeous teen idol James Darren!!

[danolson68]

Yeah, that guy looks like he's about to zook.

[you2begin]

Hmm Jim Moret your story doesn't quite add up. Ran three building to your desk? I think you'ld be more out of breath, and look less like you want to puke. It's six in the morning on new years day and no one decent would hold it against you. But if you need a cover story for career purposes I fully support it! Good day to you sir!

[singlouder08]

his brain hurts

[jwmoret]

This actually aired! (and made the gag reel) I was not hung over -just totally out of breath.

I remember sitting down and realizing I forgot my earpiece. I ran the three buildings to my desk to retrieve it. When I ran back I heard "On in 5..4..3.."

I was so out of breath that my eyes were tearing. I did my best to cover, but you can see the results- it is the most ridiculous thing that ever happened to me - LIVE on the air.

It still makes me laugh remembering that day.

[bdflynn]

THE Jim Moret checks in!

Thanks for clearing that up!

As I said elsewhere, I culled this clip from an old KCBS gag reel that a friend of mine had given me many years ago.

I think without knowing the backstory (and given this was right after New Years Day) you can understand people thinking you were hung over. My apologies!

[steelydanbowler]

@bdflynn Mmmm if you know he wasn't hung over, why does it still say that in the title?

[bdflynn]

@steelydanbowler

I didn't know he wasn't hung over when I posted this, but he says he wasn't.

Besides, if I called it "Really Tired Anchorman" no one would watch it.

[TheJediCharles]

@bdflynn

It's shameful when someone cares more about views than honesty. You should be more embarrassed than Moret.

Click on "edit video" and change the name. You'll sleep better knowing you're less pathetic.

[tml4873]

@bdflynn People generally party on new year's eve, not the evening of Jan 1.

[brithgob]

I know from experience there's nothing worse than going on the air completely out of breath.

[kirk7524875248]

bro' I was just about to say, "Yeah, hung over!" Sorry 'bout the miss-step! Ok! Good luck to you! I'm sure you're doing well now!

[store275]

Hi Jim -- I miss you on KCBS!

Saw you last year on the Young and the Restless!!

[ikeano29]

you were the charlie, admit it!

[lavanadams]

@jwmoret  SUPER SWEET, Jim actually tells us what happened. Isn't youtube wonderful!

[preks29]

@jwmoret damn- give me some a that shit!

[sandycrack96]

@jwmoret this just in.........you're a fuckin liar!!!!

[noezelaya7]

@jwmoret you suck

[haj890]

@jwmoret wait wtf that was u?

[msk7046]

@jwmoret I know I'm WAY late with this, but did you consider simply telling the viewers what happened and explained why you were so winded?

[islamisnuts]

@jwmoret you're lucky you didn't pass out! LOL!

GOOD JOB!

[unconventionalmeans]

@jwmoret

I've seen this clip before on various sites...and each time the caption reads "around 1988".

But the clip starts of with you, Jim, saying: "It's Tuesday, January 2nd..."

In 1988, January 2nd was on a Saturday. However, January 2nd was on a Tuesday in 1990.

So this clip is from 1990......right, Jim?

[DimitrisMPapadakis]

@jwmoret cool man!!! lol. At least you were not brain damaged like today's reporters!!

[pgotbeats]

haha this is awesome. Definitely seems hungover to me. That breath at 0:09 is all the proof you need LOL

[djcchs2004]

Well this was airs on New Year, so you know why many people drinks on the New Year Eve.

[NewsOnDemand]

he might have just run down the hall from the newsroom... which back then was WAY far away.

[bdflynn]

Yeah, I have no idea whether or not he was really hung-over but it sure looks like it to me. It is New Year's Day after all.

I guess you'd have to ask Jim Moret what was really going on here.

This is from a KCBS gag reel I've had sitting around on VHS for 20+ years. I thought I would share it with the YouTube community.

[dinfg6]

When did you work for cbs2

[bdflynn]

I never worked there but a friend of a friend did and that's how I got this tape.

[peetie25]

@bdflynn was your friends name either joe rios or larry greene? or was he a writer.

just asking. So what is it?
