PAT TOMASULO IS A NATIONAL TREASURE
06.09.09Here’s video of WGN (of Chicago, duh) sports anchor Pat Tomasulo dunking on a small child and then taunting him until he cries (via Mouthpiece Sports). It is an absolute delight to watch. In the course of a minute, he transitions from yelling “You don’t have any game, Tyler!” to a halfhearted apology before saying, “Actually, that felt GREAT. I felt so powerful!”
All of that seems par for the course for Tomasulo, who also does humorous investigative news skits in a series called “The Pat Down.” In the video after the jump, he goes after people who talk on bluetooths (blueteeth?) and send text messages while walking. It’s not quite as good as most “Daily Show” segments, but then what does YOUR local sports anchor do in his free time? Here in New York, Mike Francesca just sits in a recliner, sweating while he labors to breathe.
Side note: everyone at WGN News is pretty cool.

This is gold. Thanks Matt.
Tom Skilling is the best weather man in history. He actually knows what he’s talking about. New York weather men are gayer than Sam Champion. Wait..
You should see the one where he interviews guys who run with their shirt’s off.

Jeff Ross roasting the WGN morning show, complete with the sports guy acting like Gilbert Godfried.
WGN Morning News is something I cannot live without. Best. Local news. Ever.
People, they share their hate mail with the world and make fun of it. It’s fantastic.
Jackie BANGE!
The mother’s look of absolute disgust while holding the little crybaby might be the best thing I see all day.
I live in the Chicago area, and WGN Morning News is the single greatest news-cast in the history of the universe.

Oh, sure, this guy’s some kind of hero. But I when go to the local Hooters on family night and systematically demolish my six-year old opponents at musical chairs, all the waitresses treat me like I’m some kind of overcompetitive dick.
