Anchor drops f-bomb on live TV
There are things appropriate to say about a chicken on TV news and things that should be left unsaid.
We’re betting “keep (f-bombing) that chicken” falls in the ‘keep it unsaid’ category.
That’s the F-bomb New York anchor Ernie Anastos dropped during a broadcast Wednesday, Sept. 17, on FOX5 WNYW
Anastos made the rather odd statement during an exchange with weatherman Nick Gregory, according to the New York Post.
He’s not the first anchor to make an oopsie on TV.
Note: they may be funny, but they are not PG.
