Anyone know Mark mathis from the fox station in Charlotte NC? I happen to come across this clip on a media board. This guy is a riot. He would really boost the Weather Channels ratings. I about fell out of my seat watching him.
And I thought met Lloyd Lindsay Young out of Seacaucus, NJ was a riot with his "HEEEEELLLLLOOOOO MANHATTAN!!" and "SCIENCE!!" routines...watching him on cable when I lived in Middletown, NY back in the mid to late 80s!!
Sorry folks...but while I found myself laughing out loud at what he was getting away with on the air, the guy wouldn't last one night if I were a station manager.
A comic...maybe. But a meteorologist?
Even if I lighten up as loose as I can, he doesn't do a thing to help OCM's get respect.
Four favorite weather personalities that I've always enjoyed are Ira Joe Fisher (CBS), Al Roker (NBC), Tony Perkins (ABC) and...now retired...Willard Scott for ie. all have a wit about them but just not overly done as they keep it within limits their humorous moments!
In some ways I agree with (Azskyman) Steve...those like Mark Mathis can be overdone on the weather - blend - comedy circuit!
Oh geez.... outrageous!! Trying to picture this guy in the West Palm Beach market. But I don't know how jokes about "cleaning his pipes out" and a discussion on the Pamela/Tommy Lee video would fly with the Century Village bingo crowd.
I say put him on TWC alongside Kristina Abernathy.
