Prank call on CNN around 6:20 am

[AbbieLives]

Did anyone hear the prank call to the woman anchor on CNN this morning? I was changing a diaper & couldn't hear what the caller said, all I heard was the anchor (I forget her name, Carol?) saying "disgusting." It seemed like he was pretending to be someone from a power company.

1. I Caught Part Of It To

It included the obligatory Howard Stern reference.

2. FOX NY

I was trying to tape The Simpsons last night, but it was preempted so that the talking heads could keep talking, even though no one had power to run their televisions. :wtf:

Anyway, some guy got on there claiming to be from ConEd, described the problem, and then said that in the meantime, everyone should "open their windows, and stay in the house drawing pictures of Howard Stern".

I almost fell out of my chair laughing!

3. That sounds like the same guy from........

this AM on CNN. He talked for a while and seemed OK then out of the blue....... that line. The host then asked him to repeat , which he did!

5. what exactly did the caller say?

word by word

4. Do we NEED any more proof that CNN is a joke?

A REAL news operation would have checked the guy before they put him on the air.

:argh:

6. they've always had problems like that. Remember "Sonia Live"?

she occasionally had people calling and acting legitimate only to reach a point in the conversation where he said what he'd like to do to Sonia and how.

7. he said:

"would you bang howard stern?" and she said "excuse me?" and then he said it again... very ugly indeed

8. could it be east coast bob

9. I got your message

Apparently, I don't have enough posts to send a private message (however many that may be).

I live in MD, I get Fox 5 out of NY through Dish Network

11. no

The guy who called Savage and got him thrown off the air was a Don and Mike fan. Don and Mike broadcasts out of Washington DC. They suck.

This sounds like Capt. Janks from the Stern show.

10. That reminds me of a few Washington Journal callers.

They get the prank calls too. There was this one caller that kept saying to one of the moderators..."penis, penis, penis, penis...". I don't know the moderators name, he has dark hair and very soft spoken (no not Steve Scully). Another time a guy called and asked him if he had a big dick.

I laughed out loud and you know the moderator wants to but he has to hold it in. hee hee!
