Aww .... Someone’s getting coal in his stocking this Christmas. KTLA Weatherman Henry DiCarlo wasn’t happy with how much time his producer gave him. Look what happened next...
“You know what? It's so interesting. I'm in the communications business and it seems like there's so little communication. When you send a weatherman out to do the weather but you're also sending him to do a story, you might want to give him a little extra time. But that's just me!”
So, what didn’t you see? The LA Times got the behind-the-scenes story -- from the producer who was talking in Henry’s ear.
“The producer, who was identified only as ‘Roxane,’ gave her side of the episode: ‘He was supposed to do the weather first, then whatever time was left, he was supposed to get into the segment. I felt that people needed to get their weather first. I might have been yelling a little loud in his ear to get to the weather.”
Every story has two sides. But -- when all you see is one -- well, there are lots of folks who think Henry’s a bad, bad man. Like LimeLife.
“Usually, this sort of behavior is reserved for The Jersey Shore or one of the Real Housewives shows, but this one is courtesy of a live news broadcast. Hey, everybody is allowed to have a bad day, but when you're on the air, you might want to check yourself before you wreck yourself.”
Either way, you would think Henry would feel kinda bad, right? Well, not according to LA Observed, which says, Henry only offered a partial mea culpa.
“‘It doesn't matter what the circumstances were — it wasn't a pretty sight for me to act like that, and I get that,’ DiCarlo said, never quite apologizing. ‘But personally, you guys have seen much worse from me, so I didn't think I was that bad.’”
Uh -- yeah, Henry. Not everyone acts like that.
