Ernie may have lost some viewers, but he gained one big (fat, revolting) fan.

Talk about winging it!
Emmy Award-winning Fox 5 anchor Ernie Anastos dropped an F-bomb live on the air last night while making a bizarre chicken reference during an odd exchange with weatherman Nick Gregory.
"I guess it takes a tough man to make a tender forecast," Anastos said to Gregory during the station's 10 p.m. newscast.
"I guess that's me," a bewildered Gregory replied.
Then, as both men shared a chuckle during the playful banter, the 66-year-old anchorman shocked his colleagues -- and the audience at home -- by saying, "Keep f---ing that chicken."

That’s all folks!
Weird. Drunk? Ernie’s been around forever.
Ah, the ethereal effects of Jim Beam!
Face lift melting!!
Check out the anchorette’s face immediately after he dropped the bomb. Priceless.
Has this made it to youtube yet?
WTF?!
Maybe he said “plucking that chicken?”
Ernie may have lost some viewers, but he gained one big (fat, revolting) fan.

Really weird clip. He obviously knew he was on the air, and just kept going, after he said it, as if nothing strange had happened.
I wonder if he was trying to say “keep pluckin’ that chicken” and didn’t realize he mispronounced it.
He’s been on the air in NYC for over 30 years, and has always had the image of a very affable, polite guy. Not the type you would ever expect to drop on f-bomb on the air.
paging Freud.
That’w what he said, all right. Not much doubt.
His co-anchor looks like she could plotz!
