Leave it to FOX News. New York anchor Ernie Anastos let loose Wednesday night when he dropped the F-bomb live on TV. During playful banter with weatherman Nick Gregory, Anastos complimented Gregory, by saying, “It takes a tough man to make a tender forecast, Nick.”
Without missing a beat, Anastos continued, “Keep fucking that chicken.”
The best part was what followed. Co-anchor Dari Alexander’s eyes literally bugged out of her head in complete disbelief of what she had just heard.
Watch it:
Ernie is off the chain. Always has been. I always suspected he has ADHD and takes Ritalin or Adderall to control it. He’s so manic and hyper. I mean, coffee alone can’t do this to you. Even mainlining Mountain Dew won’t make you this peripatetic.
I’m just trying to get some perspective here.
I read your piece about the FCC going after CBS again over Janet Jackson’s sad, little pleasure sack but the FCC looks the other way when a primetime news anchor says “keep fucking that chicken?”
Ah, whatevah.
I can state on the record that no matter how drunk or how high I’ve been in my life and in my travels, I have never fucked a chicken. A few pigs and a few creatures that were probably from another planet, but never, ever a chicken.
I remember Ernie from my college years in New York City. He’s a character. Still though, what does it mean?
Dari Alexander’s eyes look like their going to pop out of her head! Too funny! You can see the wheels turning in her head, “Oh no! There goes my job. My condo. My retirement.” An instant classic!
You never know with Ernie.
Maybe he was referring to chicken farmer, Kevin Skinner who won the grand prize on “America’s Got Talent?”
The singing chicken farmer from Kentucky was awarded the $1 million grand prize and a headlining spot at a Las Vegas show.
He beat out an opera singer from Houston, and eight other finalists.

At least he didn’t flash his nipple.
What exactly is going on with NY newscasters? First Sue Simmons drops the F-bomb, then Mr. G turns all sarcastic and creepy, and now even the venerable Ernie Anastos starts slipping. Are people trying to get fired?
ROFLMAO!
Thank you for that. I am in awe.
Fucking that chicken? Stop!
Is this the Fox version of screw-the-pooch? Oh man, these folks are talking another language.
Damn you, Christopher.
I keep saying this phrase, “keep fucking that chicken,” to everyone I talk to, some of them get it and laugh but a few of them are like “what?”
It’s like I have Tourettes.
“Keep fucking that chicken.”
“Keep fucking that chicken.”
“Keep fucking that chicken.”
“Keep fucking that chicken.”
“Keep fucking that chicken.”
It’s perfectly brilliant! It’s very Zen. Really. Very freeing.
This is hilarious, but c’mon, this is not Fox News. This is a local affiliate with no connection to the cable channel. Lay off the partisanship for just one sec, ok? (this is coming from a liberal)
I think he said…”Keep plucking that chicken.” And it sounded like keep fucking that chicken. I don’t know the guy like some of you. If he said that and the station doesn’t get fined you can bet your ass the FCC is biased as hell. Howard Stern should be pissed! It is funny though.
i would have loved to watch it – but anything even close to rupert murdoch is not allowed in this apt – including Channel 5 and Ernie (who has been on every channel in the city)
buzz in the newsroom was he was drunk – i doubt it
While this is funny, Fox 5 News is not the same thing as “Fox News.” I can actually watch Fox 5 News without hating the world.
Someone should call the Fox5 problem solvers on Ernie.
To Joe in Colorado:
I’ve fucked lots of chicken. You should try it sometime.
Damn, is there no perversion these damn Rushpubliscums won’t indulge themselves in?
Would then shoving a beer can in your chicken be considered foreplay?
The girl’s eyes looked like the black dude from Caddyshack when the boat came too close to him…
Best internet video ever.
“K. I’ll do that!”
LMAO! This is rich.
For years, people have speculated about Ernie Anastos. Is he loaded? Drunk? Just manic? I like him because he’s just so damned unprofessional.
We need more like him.
Bestiality Rights!
When do we want them?
Now!!!

I’ve declared “Keep fucking that chicken” the new “Don’t Taze Me Bro.”
It’s the phrase of 2009.
Did anyone else listen to this closely? After Ernie blurts out “keep fucking that chicken,” Nick says, “Ok, I’ll do that.” That’s probably the funniest news segment I’ve seen outside The Anchorman. Ernie is the real-world equivalent of Ron Burgundy. Hilarious!
What does no talent Janet Jackson have to do with Ernie? JJ planned the whole thing w/millions watching. I mean nobody watches FOX 5 anyway and obviously his outburst wasn’t planned. Bizarre, yes. Planned , no.
Tokyo Joe: You want Bestiality-Rights?

Shocking as hell, but brilliant!
For the record, this was actually just a local FOX station; not quite the right-wing propaganda machine FOX News. It’s still hilarious though, and the quote has gone down in its own small corner of internet history.
This isn’t fox news. This is a fox affiliate
