KPNX weekend weather anchor Dick Leighton forget he was scheduled to work on a Friday night. He had been drinking at a Halloween party before being called and reminded to come to work. He went on the air intoxicated, and was fired the next day. This is from 1987.
Oh my god, I saw this happen live. It was excruciating to watch as I remember it, and at the time, it seemed to last much longer than it did here. I've even checked YouTube previously to see if someone ever recorded it. Sure enough, eventually it showed up. I wonder what ever happened to Dick?
