If you've never been in a television studio before, there's a reason why television 'green screens' have that name -- they're actually green. Computers replace anything close to the color with a background image and, hey presto, the weather forecast is magically displayed behind your overly chipper local weather personality. What happens if you should accidentally wear the same color tie? Why, you appear to have a hole in your chest, as in
the video above.
Watch it through and you'll hear the flustered forecaster say: "dude we just made
YouTube." We're not sure about his meteorology skills, but he certainly got that prediction right. [From:

We had one of our student show up for her first day as host of our live student-produced show wearing the new dress she bought just for the occasion... which of course had big chroma key green polka dots on it. At my old TV station the weather girl wore a long-sleeve lime green turtleneck for April Fools day once too.

They ought to MAKE them wear green so we can see the damn map behind them!!! Would give a better explanation for "talking head"

Scott is awesome. I'm surprised he didn't play it up more. (He's now the one that TMJ4 sends out during the snow storms, guess it did catch up with him)
