Last month during a morning newscast on WTAE, reporter Bob Mayo was live on the scene of a fire where a pet cat was missing. During his live shot, Mayo and anchor Sam Merrill both heard a cat's meows, and Merrill even commented on it to Mayo. Turned out the sound of the cat was an effect added by a Channel 4 audio engineer. There was an incident that morning, and it's been dealt with. Multiple sources report the audio engineer was fired.
Every TV critic has a guilty pleasure.
With Howard Stern in the credits as an executive producer, you know the show will be raunchy, inappropriate for children and politically incorrect, but it's also sometimes hilarious. That's one of the few jokes that can be printed in a family newspaper. Mostly, the show plays on sexual innuendo and jargon that's on the junior high level. It's lowbrow humor in the extreme, but it still makes me laugh. All rights reserved.
