  • I've never seen this before. Years ago, I read that either Jack or Tony was suspended for following up a preview of a human interest story with a segway like "That and other alleged news coming up." There was also a rumor that Frank Avrouch gave up his Bozo gig after being heard telling his assistants to "Get all these f'ing kids out of here." I've never been able to find confirmation of the latter.

  • @lrd9999 How about the one with Big Brother Bob Emery being overheard after a show saying "That ought to take care of the little bastards for today"? It didn't really happen, I don't think.

  • Good 'ol Jack, you cracked me !

  • It could be true, but if it's not, they likely typed "GOTCHA" at the story's end. Notice if you will Jack's face when he read that last line. It goes without saying this could very well be true, and if it is, truly this is a miracle. And crossing the legs is an expression of pure 100% gratitude.

  • he laughs like he looks weird!

  • this video prolly came from TVNT several years back. I remember it being posted as a WMV file, which can go right on here easily. bostonnewsarchives ether has one posted on his channel, or he made a comment with background to this blooper. I am not sure if this was a "taped" update and I wouldn't assume ether. Maybe he could comment again.

  • Fortunately, this was supposed to be a taped update during late programming. It was taped. It was not an update.

  • I'll bet anything that the story was a joke to get him to crack up.
