We obviously watch a lot of local TV news. We've also seen a lot of fictional TV newspeople. Who are the best?
All the people on Anchorman.
Ron Burgundy, Veronica Corningstone, Champ Kind, Brian Fantana, Brick Tamlund, all the rival news networks: they're all wonderful.
Nicholas Cage in The Weatherman.
You should see this movie: an underrated beauty of an angsty comedy. The things that happen to Cage's weatherman are wonderfully memorable.
That guy in Network that is mad as hell and unwilling to take it anymore.
Clearly that's a guy that sticks in our memories.
Kent Brockman from The Simpsons.
Kenny Brocklestein is a classic. From "I for one welcome our new insect overlords" to "It's in Revelations, people!," he's had some of the show's very memorable lines.
There are others, but these are my faves. Do you have any worth mention?

ReplyDeleteHow about the Daily News(I think that's what they're called) SNL skits?
fark.com is pretty entertaining if you're into un-newsworthy news.
