Wow. This guys career is finished. Even beyond the foul language, he is terrible.
ZitatA word of advice: If you are an aspiring news anchor, don’t open with “f**kin’ sh*t” when you finally get your big break.
Unfortunately, that’s how A.J. Clemente started his new gig as a weekend co-anchor with NBC affiliate KFYR-TV in Bismark, N.D. on Sunday.
Just as his co-anchor, Van Tieu, introduced him as her new fellow “weekend news anchor,” Clemente was apparently unaware they were live. “Gay…f**kin’ sh*t,” he seems to say to a undoubtedly shocked audience and news crew.
Whoops.
Watch the disastrous debut below (obvious strong language warning):

Awww, this kid's got bigger and better things in his future than some backwater station in North Dakota. He's already much more polished than Jay Carney - I say make him Zero's press sec'y.

A.J. Clemente had a rough start to his first anchoring gig at KFYR in Bismarck, North Dakota.
The first rule in TV newscasts – don’t curse when you’re in front of the camera.
You never know when your microphone might be open.
You never know when you might become the next YouTube sensation, the way A.J. Clemente did Sunday. Clemente was leading off his first newscast as the weekend anchor at KFYR, an NBC station in Bismarck, North Dakota, when he let loose.
“F-----g s--t,” he said into his microphone, fifteen seconds into his first anchoring gig.
