Unfortunately, no.

I'm producing a show tonight for the first time in a while. Mary from Kittery just talked to me off the air and told me she's running for President.

Is it Jordan's show? If so I'm in!

Time for a reprise. I wish it was still the golden age of the chatroom.

Where's the smiley that cries profusely?

I miss those chatroom times while Pete was producing the Jordan Rich show.

So many things about this news report made me laugh:

That's the most Kent Brockman IRL news report I've ever heard.

Carl Stevens is an award winning reporter.

In the broadcasting world, is there a term for that vocal inflection that so many reporters do where the second to last syllable in key words is emphasized? I like it a lot.

"a couple dozen people, some dressed as turkeys..." "...WBZ Radio, 1030"

You're raising the penultimate sound so the ultimate sound is lower, thus ending on a falling inflection and giving it a sense of finality.

cutuphalfdead · **Posted:** Wed Nov 23, 2011 2:26 am

So to answer your question, no, there is no term for that.

The usage in that clip is mostly what I meant when I referred to it as Brockman-esque. That, and I imagined a clip of Hans Moleman and the crazy cat lady carrying signs and walking in circles when I heard the soundbites.

I had the same thought. Me and the kid I was training today burst out laughing the first time we heard it. I wanted to ask Carl for his raw tapes so I could hear more of it.

The sound of a kitchen pot being banged makes it.
