Halloween Parade clown fractures Emmy-winning WPIX reporter Arthur Chi'en's face
Emmy-winning WPIX reporter Arthur Chi'en suffered extensive facial fractures after being dragged off a Greenwich Village Halloween Parade float by a marauding clown, authorities said.
"He was trying to scale the float and he grabbed my arm," said the veteran newsman, whose face was shattered in six places when he was pulled off the float as it neared W. 14th St. just after 9 p.m.
Great clip. And the pests didn't do anything wrong. They quietly stood behind him and held up and O&A poster. They didn't touch him or harass him in any way. I also don't think Arthur should have been fired for saying fuck on the air.
@jadedmastermind the guy holding the sign, i think, was alright, but the guy shouting (who i don't think was with the sign guy) was definitely being a dick.
@jadedmastermind actually, scratch that, the sign holder guy was shouting, too. that's a fucking disrespectful kind of distraction when a guy's trying to do his job.
@neokimchi The sign holding guy said something, but I couldn't make out what he said. He certainly wasn't shouting. And since the FCC now allows "fleeting expletives," Arthur Chien would not have been fired under today's standards. I don't think either party did anything wrong.
lol I remember when this happened. I was getting dressed for work and I was shocked when I heard him say that! lol It was hysterical. I felt bad for the guy. I'm glad he was able to find other work.
Opie & Anthony do a show at Pieces Bar on Christopher St in the Village, I think the 3rd Monday of every month called "Too Ugly for TV." Check it out. There's clips around here.
it's a disgrace, man. ernie anastos is disturbing and totally unprofessional. arthur chi'en is a great reporter and i can totally understand his frustration with these opie and anthony guys. thankfully arthur is on a better network now and his skills are being put to good use.
they have.... they've done this to dozens, possibly hundreds of reporters. nothing racially biased here.... by the way this is over 4 years old, and they don't do this bit anymore.
CBS2 (NY) fired Arthur for cursing. But Ernie Anastos FOX5 (NY) and Sue Simmons from NBC4 (NY) can keep their jobs because they've been reporting news for over 30 years. TV news stations are a bunch of hypocrites; they should fire any news anchors who swears on air.
They're not being that hypocritical. The other two have a track record for long years of service and one slip isn't as big a deal as with someone newer they are trying out.
The other problem is how this guy behaved in response to people during a newscast and interrupted it. Anastos made a clueless slip of the tongue and Simmons was off the air but the sound was still rolling.
This guy is way more liability for the station due to lack of track record and the way he did it.
Chien is not going to be cursing on the air again.
Anastos, on the other hand, seems to have some serious brain deterioration and is likely to entertain us with more "clueless slips", outbursts and bizarre remarks until they toss his ass out the door.
It's cbs's loss. There is no wonder they are the shittiest of the networks in the ratings. Chien is a great reporter. I loved him on NY1. And they get rid of him for standing up to the disrespect to his network and story. Brilliant these CBS dumbasses. Luckily he is in CW11.
he got fired for this? rediculous. a "no tolerance" policy toward profanity is so stupid. it should be a case by case basis. i hate the FCC so fucking much. is this a fascist country or what? sure shock journalism is fine like showing dead babies on camera, but a guy swears one time to defend himself and its an issue?
You know...the cameraperson could have ZOOMED in on Chi'en's face. Or they could have moved to Arthur's left. There is a brick wall right there. That would have cut out those 2 idiots right away. Too bad he got fired. Stern's crew and the O+A crowd are GED wanna-be's.
Opie and Anthony suck balls anyways. Chi'en is my hero. It has been reported that not one person complained to the station at all. I'm glad he sued the network and won! You da man Chi'en
Wow, he was actually quite nice about it. I was expecting to hear "F***!" right into the mic. Although they did completely ruin the shot set-up with the subway, he could've been a few more seconds patient and professional. It would really tick me off if someone were to mess up my segment like that.
that's weird, maybe that site was talking about the CBS station? after reading your comment I realized I hadn't seen him on the new network in a while and thought it was definitely possible he was fired.
Yup, Arthur's on the CW. He's a super super nice guy and I'm glad I got the chance to work with him. WCBS was jumpy because of the Janet Jackson incident. The newsroom was really disappointed that he was fired. We're not fans of our upper management. They like to fire the good reporters.
He handled it wrong--he showed his lack of talent by not being able to think on his feet and say something funny about the media freeloaders, after all, it wasn't the crime of the century.
Opie and Anthony are so immature. If they wouldn't have done this, Arthur wouldn't have said what he did and wouldn't have been fired from CBS 2 News.
Oh Than! What a silly goose!

He's human. Just look at all the other reporters who slipped up and said profanity (and got away with it).
If I don't see those Opie and Anthony interns doing the same thing to other news reporters then I would say they're racially biased!
I DARE them to do the same to other reporters out on the field!!!
