It seemed like David and Jeffaroo were plagued by a number of bad scripts today. First, there was the typical situation where the Weather Center script still uses the name "Day Planner" because no one changed it from earlier in the day. At the bottom of both hours of Weather Center, Dave was left with the responsibility of dealing with that issue at the end of the teaser, and the way he handled it was quite interesting. At 2:30 CT, Dave recognized that the name of the show on the script was wrong, but instead of saying "Weather Center," he said "PM Edition" instead. Then, at 3:30 CT, he said "Weekly Planner" instead of "Day Planner"
The script got really weird at 2:55 PM CT at the end of the first hour of Weather Center when Dave began to read, "Dave Schwartz and Jeff Morrow are up next...Hey! That's us!" Apparently someone loaded up the script from the end of the last shift, which was three hours prior to that event.
Notice that Dave is much better off just winging the show rather than using a script? For instance, he sounded much more comfortable at 3 PM CT when he went off the script and introduced the show with, "...there's some good news with the drought, Jeffaroo! Hit it, boys!"

Jeffaro? :happy: I think most OCMs are better off without a script.
-
I agree. Most seem much better when they can do it their own way. :yes:
-
I think those two are great together...a classic team - their jokes were great when they were reunited in Nov 2006, after not working together since 2000. Were there any other funny jokes from yesterday? I wish I could've recorded them.

Dave and Jeff are hosting Day Planner/Weather Center once again today. BTW, anyone ever hear the term "grease up them shovels"? :rofl2:
-
During the Weekly Planner, Dave had the wrong red clicker, so he had to have Jeff come in and give him the correct black clicker. :lol:
-
It's always a pleasure to see Dave and Jeff together. They make a great team! :)
-
What a disappointment; I purposely recorded today knowing Jeff and Dave would probably be on, but my Satellite box let me down and didn't display video after 1:10 PM CT. It's really a shame because it seems like the show got funnier later on; the first hour (which I do have) seemed pretty ordinary.
There were some funny moments yesterday, though. Maybe I can get those up on here.

Why do they need scripts? Don't they know how to talk and think for themselves?

They only have scripts when they're at the anchor desks. When their at the chroma key, they don't have scripts. :no:
-
But why do they need them at all?

Because they can't rely on their own brain for everything. :no:
