10 Dumbest Reasons People Have Been Fired From Their Job

2. A News Anchor Got Himself Fired Before He Even Starts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfvbkm-2Gn4 4:59 on April 21st 2013 was a very exciting moment in A.J. Clemente's life. He was a rookie news anchor, about to start his first broadcast for a professional station. By 5:00 he'd lost his job. Clemente went viral a couple of years ago after saying "F***ing sh*t!" live to camera before his first news broadcast had even started. The 30 seconds that follow (and that are still on YouTube) are simply beautiful. First his co-host introduces him, saying he'll be the new co-anchor, while clearly knowing he'll be gone by the next ad break. Then A.J. realises he's live and he's already lost his dream job, and looks up with panic in his eyes. The poor guy looks like he's about to cry, but it's a truly special TV moment. And it's not all bad - he's now a news reporter, and he has over 10 thousand followers on Twitter, presumably all hoping he'll accidentally call Stephen Fry a c**t.
