Ohmigod we love WNBC’s Sue Simmons. She’s everything we want in a local news anchor: Personable, but not too friendly. Wise, but not condescending. Tastefully dressed, but not too frumpy.
And she drops the F-bomb on air. During one of those annoying promo spots that TV stations insist on airing before returning from, or entering into, a commercial break, Simmons ends the spot by asking, “What the fuck are you doing?” Yes, she’s already apologized for it, and she probably won’t lose her job over it, because thankfully her on-air misstep did not include a racial, sexist, or homophobic slur.
But Simmons does join Bill O’Reilly in the “angry behind the scenes” type of way. Because while watching TV talent like Simmons might make you feel like you’re a more informed citizen, this outburst shows what makes up at least part of her character: The raging, short-tempered woman who’s furious she’s still doing local news. We’re guessing.
Editorial Director
It wasn’t fatal! Can we move on, please?
So tell us, David, exactly how furious are you that you’re still doing a lame third-rate Perez Hilton gossip blog knock-off?
We’re guessing…
Unfortunately we don’t get Sue Simmons in Chicago I wish we did. She is my kinda gal. Go Sue….I’ve only seen the posted picture of you but, already I love you.
Sue has been my favorite NYC newsperson for more than 20 years. She’s the best.
Anchoring WNBC in NY is not “the local news” - With a market of about 40 million people in range, NY’s network-owned stations are on a par with many national broadcasts - and the talent is by far the best paid in the country. Sue is at WNBC because she wants to be, you can be sure of that.
She sounds like a real sweetheart, doesn’t she? I most certainly wouldn’t want to get on her bad side if I were one of her co-workers.
P.S. How much of an inane dullard must “Joey Genova” be for reading what he terms “third-rate . . . gossip blog knock-offs” and then taking the time to post comments on them?
We’re not guessing. We know.
Actually, Vwlss, he probably, much like me, was linked to this page from the headline “Anchor curses on air”.
Shows what the fuck you know.
Vwlss #1 here. Wow dipshit you posted as me.
But yeah you’re right. Disregard my first post, I suck cocks.
In response to comment #5, I was linked here because David Hauslab apparently pays google to have his website bumped up in search results. Charitably, I obliged and gave it a click. My mistake.
I’d never heard of this site prior to searching for the Sue Simmons clip this morning. “We” know we’re not alone in this regard.
I like Vwlss #1
Vwlss #1, what is it about cocks that makes you want to suck on them? What do you hope to gain?
Are you people serious? Chuck and Sue and two of the most overpaid, brain-dead anchors ever. Of course, I hate TV news, period, but these dolts are talking heads and no more.
It’s been a while, a long while, since I watched these two — do they still have their own occasional “reports”? The last I recall was Chuck doing some shitty piece on homelessness (this was years and years back).
I say, Fire the bitch.
Cocks, jealousy, google conspiracy theories, rage, fantastic, keep up the good work inane dullards.
I would agree that this was not the deal it’s made out to be…
Further, the NY Market is officially about 18 MM people, not 40 MM.
Much more importantly, she still has more aggregate viewers than Katie Couric between the 3 newscasts she anchors.
What the Fuq are you doing?
So Sue got caught being Human!!!
She has always been one of the only bright spots on NY news and using expletive which accidentally gets bradcast does not tarnish her brilliance in my eyes.
I’ve loved her since 1980 and will only tune in more often than I’ve done recently to make sure she is holding her head high.
You go, Sue. Don’t be a Bush … recognize open mikes in the future. I’ll always be a loyal SS viewer.
Shit, she’s been on since 1980, I was born that year, and in NY for that matter, so I actually grew up watching her since i started watching news as a kid, who knew!!!
Jim David wrote a hilarious thing about this, he totally calls out Simmons, O’Reilly and some others on their totally unacceptable language: http://www.236.com/blog/w/jim_.....n_6570.php

Here’s an idea. Instead of just posting some You-Tube style video so your blog gets some hits, why don’t you try actually telling a story of what & why it happened or get off the net. Saying an anchor dropped an F-bomb and so did Bill O’Reilly months ago is just basically admitting that you really have nothing of substance to talk about.
