The guy was a nervous wreck on his first day, cut him some slack.

why do they always have to have some dude w a british accent do gossip pieces? Are we supposed to take them more seriously?

[StephenGarner]

This kid is the best thing that's happened to the news in a long time. Instead of firing him they should make him your mascot. We are talking about the news for the first time in how long? The kid is on The Today Show RIGHT NOW. Be awesome if he got Lauer's job, he's certainly more popular already!

"I graduated from West Virginia University and I'm used to...umm...you know...from being from the East Coast." Brilliant.

Most people have experienced messing up or failing at something and/or at some point in their lives. It's a terrible feeling. The most important thing is to keep going. Without experiencing failure, appreciation for victory is minuscule or non-existent. This story had a "story book ending"! Very Cool! Lastly, it should be inspiring at least, unfortunately there are always people who despise others success. To bad for them.

God bless America where anyone can become a superstar for just totally screwing something up.

Thousands of anchors do a great, responsible job every day. The one that gets the fame and celebrity is the one who messes up in a major way on the first day. He doesn't even recover well. Good thing we haven't gotten to the point yet where doctors and airline pilots are evaluated this way (I did say "yet").

Apparently, competent on-air talent in North Dakota is sparse.

[worldwatcher]

Is true he got the attention that probable never some newscater will never get.

[schby]

they should believe in second chances and they definitely need to give him some practice runs.

[seanvarian]

Poor guy! 💯 cut him some slack. We’ve all had a bad day at the office.

[laloboii]

Bro I got your back !! Keep it going !!! Dont give up!!!! You gonna make it!!-jerry from skyline grill!!

[apoorunfortunatesoul]

You know that dude dont cuss like that in front of grandma. I remember when mine caught me smoking a cigarette. I didnt know her and my uncles were going to the same restaurant. Im out in the parking lot and there was nanny and my dads brothers with the most disappointed look on her face. They were trying so hard not to laugh. Then i accidentally told on my dad when i said "maybe we can quit together". I hid it from him too... Context was he was in a coma from a heart attack. This has nothing to do with the video

[taariqkhanoflegend]

Just came back here after thoroughly F'ing a job interview up. Cheers A.J.‼️✌️

[Davelichtauthor]

this time i actually loled on something having to do with the news. COOL!

[KB-hntx]

Those bleeps are more annoying than the swear words themselves. Seriously.

[mayavenuemisfit]

I don't think it was a big deal. Besides, it's North Dakota. There were probably more cattle than humans watching that newscast.

[vanesslifeygo]

this slowed down the other news anchor lol

[robertnagel]

That kind of language is inappropriate anytime, certainly in a mixed group.

[Keviandra]

Things happen he deserves a second change
