Hey everybody, I found this quite funny...
I think that the OCM on air at 1:04 AM EST (12/18/08), almost thoew up on air! :hmm: He said excuse me, then made that gagging noise and ran out of the studio. They were forced to switch to a computer to generate the maps and played background music :blink:
I truely found this wierd!
-
I already made a topic about this. Im praying someone got it on tape because there was about two whole minutes of Evening Edition music played in his stead.
-
I wasn't watching this on my tuner :( So I couldn't record. Wierd blooper, though...
-
carl is back and i will put a clip up soon!
-
Yay, thanks man! B)
-
YES!!!! Thank god you got the clip!!!! Thank you sssooo much! :worship:
-
no prob will be posted hopefully by later today
-
I hopefully have it too on DVD as long as my recorder holds up...
I don't know if it sounded like he was going to throw up; to me it just sounded like he was having a coughing fit that he couldn't stop. Almost the same thing happened to him back in November on this show, just that time the coughing fits happened closer to the end of the segment, not giving us anywhere near this amount of music.
-
Awesome, I appreciate both of you guy's hard work. That is truly a very rare occurrence; in fact, the only time I can recall an OCM's coughing leading into music segments was in 2006 when Sarah Libby had a difficult time recovering from a coughing spell and the control room ended up playing nearly the entire 05-08 Weather Center bumper in her stead.
Can't wait to see your clips, post them whenever possible would be fantastic! B) :happy: :clap: :thrilled:
-
Is there a video of that, Jae? I'd love to see it if there is...
The other one that really sticks out to me was in 2005 when Hillary Andrews started laryngitis; she couldn't even finish the segment, so they just played the 03-05 WO theme to end the final minute or so of the segment. Honestly, she shouldn't have even gone on the air that day as bad as she sounded.
It's a shame there's no known video of that one out there... :(
-
I actually have the audio clip, not the video though. IIRC, it was just maps being played over the audio. Clip attatched...
When do you think you will be able to post the Evening Edition fiasco, if you don't mind me asking?
-
I'm going to check if the disc held up at around 1:15 CT so that I can record it again off the DVR if it failed; I'll hopefully post it shortly thereafter.
-
Sounds great; I truly appreciate it! :biggrin:
-
Yeah, I'm guessing that Carl had to cough. If he threw up he probably wouldn't have been back on the air. The gagging sound was probably him attempting to hold the cough back, but failing.

Thanks! :)
And Gary, It does make scence... but I just want to know why they dont take cough reliever before they go on air to prevent this from happening... unless if it was completely unexpected :whistling:

Many cough supressants contain ingredients that cause drowsiness. Can't have Carl falling asleep now, can we? :bleh:

LOL! I would laugh if he just fell...
"And over here in the Wash :yawn: Washing :yawn: Washington D.C. Area is currently :yawn: ZzZzzZzZz" :P
-
Now they're replacing the segment with a live re-shoot for this hour and the next repeat hour.
-
Now he's coughing again?!?
This segment must be really unlucky for him or something...and what with showing the live radar?!? :blink:
-
I think that they need to put someone else on air... he needs to go home if he keeps coughing...
-
He's done for the night now; he barely made it, but he made it while doing a satisfactory job given the circumstances nonetheless. :)
-
Okay, here's a larger 20MB clip (since that's about the biggest that Gary deems to be reasonable for downloading) of the coughing incident along with the EE music segment; by request, I'll also post a shorter clip of just the music portion a little bit later. Heck, I might just go do that anyway. I'll also try to put it up on YouTube sometime soon.

Even though it's not in my profile, today's my birthday, so I guess this as a nice little birthday present for me, coming only 5 minutes after midnight. :P
-
Somehow I had a feeling they would mess this up; they're replaying the segment right now instead of the corrected one; I'm getting an HD recording of it now...
-
Here's the shorter video clip of just the music portion...HD clips coming tomorrow morning I guess...

That's a real shame :( get well soon, Carl.
And there are always delays in live broadcasting... if an OCM passes out on air, I highly doubt TWC would allow that to hit the air in the 3-5 second delays, they would immediately switch over to the emergency satellite feed, thus you're almost guaranteed to not see anything.
-
So wait...
Warren and Kristina did WWC/EE.
Adam did PME solo.
Who did the second part of EE/EEWC?
(EDIT: Sounds like that bizarre music cut that was on the Local a few days ago was part of the EE pack. Why didn't they just go Trammel?)
-
I guess Carl's throat got very dry here in the winter months causing him to be very susceptible to all the germs floating around. <_<
-
Great clips; thanks man! :D
-
Thanks for the clips, Steve! :D I'm assuming Carl was solo, because surely if another OCM was present, he or she would have covered for Carl.

Correct. EEWC is always solo now.

[/quote]there's no need to have a duo team to a 1 hour daypart newscast...
any rate, can't wait for the HD video of the EE music so I can have it in stereo lol
-
Wow, Carl's already back for WWC today; I guess he's not giving up. :P
-
I don't blame him for coming back. If he's only got a cold he'll do just fine. There's no need miss a day of work. B)

Too bad we can know who produced that song because it sounds good

Hey everybody, I found this quite funny...
I think that the OCM on air at 1:04 AM EST (12/18/08),
Could have you named that OCM?

Even though this happened, Carl is a fantastic OCM, it's a shame we have to see him on during the overnight hours now. His pairing with Jennifer Lopez back in 06 and 07 was fantastic; I especially love how he goes out of the way to explain meteological events to the viewer. Very indepth- not many OCMs are that way anymore. :no:

So? If he wants to say merry Christmas in his signature, that's just fine. :yes:
I agree totally Jae. :yes:
