[ laughter ] let's kick things off with some accidental profanity. it's a lot of fun when news people curse. because they're so serious. honestly, the only reason i even watch the news is because on the

off chance that someone might say the f word. this is from the local fox news last night. nick gregory wrapping up the weather when anchorman ernie jumps in with some fun unscripted interplay. and listen closely because this is a good one. >> check that seven-day to make your weekend plans. >> takes a tough man to make a tender forecast, nick.

that that's so raven just wet herself on the school bus and then slowly the oxygen re-enters her body and the fake tv smile comes right back to her face. that's a pro right there. that's tv magic you see happening. you have to hand it to the fox affiliate in new york. they have not apologized. they insisted it was not a slipup. in fact, they're even building a brand new magical pain around it. >> fox 5 news. the best chicken [ bleep ] us in team in new york. for today's top [ bleep ] chicken news from around new york and around the world.

[ cheers and applause ] yeah. it's hip and young. more jon and kate news at this hour. that is one of my favorite news phrases. the mother of the nanny who

claims she had an affair with jon gosselin while he was still living in the house, for some reason her mom sat down for an interview with radar online. jon told her daughter not to is worry about -- not to worry about getting pregnant because he had a vasectomy after getting the sextuplets and today the president awarded the man who gave him the vasectomy the congressional medal of honor. maybe we can hook jon gosselin up with the octomom. crazy, sterile, everything she's looking for in a man. i saw this coming years ago. i have a strict policy of not trust anyone who wears ed hardy t-shirts. and i think we should give him a second vasectomy to make sure. in case you're wondering when all the hubbub about kanye west interrupting taylor swift will die down, the answer is not yet. on tuesday, there was an audiotape of presidentbama

calling kanye a jackass that leaked out and now they have leaked the videotape too. >> the young lady seems like a personally nice person. she's getting her award. >> why would he do that? >> he's a jackass. well, now this other stuff -- i'm assuming all this stuff -- [ laughter ] come on, guys. >> well, you know -- he assumed wrong. by the way he wasn't the only president that weighed in. last night, former president jimmy carter who by the way is 85 years old was speaking at emory university in atlanta. he tooas asked to say kanye or nay. >> what do you think of kanye west calling out taylor swift at the vma's? >> all right. >> do you agree with president obama's response to his actions? >> i don't know what obama's reonse was. i thought it was completely

uncalled for and his punishment was to appear on the new jay leno show. [ laughter ] >> that's -- [ cheers and applause ] i have to say, i'm shocked about two things. number one, that jimmy carter is watching the mtv video music awards. number two, jay leno has a new show? i hadn't heard anything about that. you think they'd take out some ads or something. but amidst all the apologizing and the shame, there's good news for kanye west. he managed to score a new endorsement deal out of all of this. ♪ >> kanye! >> beyonce had one of the best videos of all time! >> please drink responsibly from your friends. [ cheers and applause ] >> good advice. no better example than that.

[ laughter ] >> want to take a long road trip with him. what must he do when the ice cream man shows up?

so how did jarvis do? well t judges were kind of on the fence about him which resulted in this close but still confusing call. >> come on, you know -- you know you want -- you want -- [ laughter ] never know. a box of chocolates. >> i'll tell you what, i'll make a deal with you. if you don't pick it up quickly, i'm going to ask you to leave. [ laughter ] [ screaming ] >> i'm not a doctor, but i'm pretty sure that was a seizure he just had. one more thing. there was a time in this country not long ago when being concerned about the environment out mattcally made you -- automatically made you a tree hugger, a pinko, a hipp, and now even nascar is getting on board. nascar has hired a consultant to help them be more green. they have a green racing event here in california and the nice

to mess up at least from the mound. i'm not going to be like step in front of the mound, shorten the distance and then mess up because that's like a double negative. >> you have to be insis apt, because a lot of times they won't let you on the mound because they don't want the celebrity messing the mound up for the game which starts two minutes after you throw the first pitch out. >> i'm not going to like dig my heels in there. >> you better tell the guy that. >> people pitch from the mound a lot of the time. >> they do a lot -- >> you have to be aggressive about it? >> you have to be aggressive about it. >> well, i'm a pregnant woman, so i'll be aggressive. >> i have put together a montage of videos from first pitches going wrong. >> i can learn from people's mistakes. >> this is my friend adam carolla. >> he did it three times over. >> that was the first time. this is baba booey from the howard stern show and the mayor of cincinnati that's got to be the worst one ever. >> i think he wanted to throw it to the ump. >> believe me, he didn't. >> he didn't practice.

my husband turned into a stage mother when he found out i was going to do this. he was like, we have to practice. we have to go to the park to practice. okay. >> so you have been practicing? >> i have been practicing and there's a guy who works on my show who used to be on the red sox and he's coaching me. >> he was on the red s? >> he was. >> that's good to have. >> but i have to say another thing, you have to be careful about too much practice because you can get too fancy. what you want to do -- >> tell me. >> my advice -- >> because clearly you're experienced because you have never done this before.

[ cheers and applause ] >> that's impressive. >> i keep it at home in case strangers need to see it. >> i would too. >> i was thinking -- i know a little bit about this stuff. the reason i've thrown a first pitch out is because it's dangerous to do. everyone thinks it's easy, but then you -- then it goes wrong and you'll be mocked. >> but you have a sense of humor. you're a comedian. >> but not about that. >> but what you did with the hitting, which is impressive. >> you're pregnant. which is good. >> i eel py that -- i'll play that card heavily. >> it's the dodgers stadium, they can boo me if they want. >> they should not definitely boo you. if i was you and things go badly, fall to the ground as if something terrible has happened [ laughter ] let the paramedics take you off the field. >> awesome.

go for the sympathy. >> i brought a couple of gloves. wear a glove out there. people think that -- you go out without a glove it throws your balance off. >> i've been practicing with the glove. i'll keep everything the same. >> there's a catcher's mitt. >> i have been practicing at 60 feet by the way. and i've been practicing with the three-finger speed ball. >> so fire it in there. this could be dangerous for the audience. yeah. you definitely want to -- hey, this ebay couch went well, why not sell her jewelry. >> go ahead. >> so i'm going to advise everybody in the audience to -- >> just sit like that. >> be very careful. all right. so i think the key is not to think about it too much. >> okay. >> just throw it in. >> i haven't warmed up. i should have been warming up backstage. >> i know. things to think about on --

all right. that's pretty good. that's pretty good. oh, look at that she can catch. this you go. put a little mustard on it. nice! want to do one more? all right. might as well go all the way and strike them out. here we go. putting down the signals. >> oh!
