If these two guys did this on a consistent basis, the ratings for this station would be astronomically huge.

"You were, and are no longer, how'd that happen?"

Fucking headshot.

[BadBusDvr]

To the person who hit record on their VCR that morning, thank you.

"She lives on the first floor, soooo."
😂😂😂

[jojotwice]

What a complete shitstorm. First floor Lady being interviewed in a bathrobe about elevator issues, building manager acting cordial then giving the "fuck off" gesture when he thought he was off camera, anchor acting like there's more to this pulitzer winning story, and reporter bitter about his former underling calling the shots

Woman complains about elevator service when she lives on the first floor

Reporters arguing on air, you gotta love it! Funny as hell, never gets old.

[zombievirals]

It all started back in 1950, when both of these guys lusted over the same weather girl...

[mariaosso]

He let the lady go because honestly it’s a non story and no one gives a flying fuck about the elevator.

[KR-tekw]

I’m guessing this is what SNL based their news reporter skits with Bill Hader on 😂

[softroseforyou]

Wow! You do not make a reporter look bad on the air. He should have talked to him afterwards about it if he had a problem with his reporting. That was very unprofessional. That anchor has a lot of nerve to do that on the air.

[UncleBooker]

This is why you should NEVER date your co-workers.

"I was your boss once, "
" you were and aren't any longer how'd that happen, "- Jim is a straight savage

[davidschlaefer]

Two months later, these guys worked together seamlessly on 9/11 and are credited with probably the best live coverage of the tragedy. They both won local Emmys.

[echoechoecho]

200 years of age between the two of them, and the Testosterone is still firing on all cylinders.
Truly marvels of men.

[mylo.]

“You were and are no longer how’d that happen” is a comeback that actually has no response. like mans casually aired out office drama live 😂

[dhumaninstrumentality]

“Well she lives on the first floor...” 🤣🤣🤣 He came out swinging.

[doodooclowney]

The most underrated part of this clip "Well she lives on the first floor".

[anthonycristofani]

Why would you use the line “ I was your boss once” how could that be a good move

[yophiosantiago]

1:30 That smile made that scenario more amusing...🤣April 2023 now. This and Herb Welch (SNL) will be forever classic...😂
