Perfect comedic timing. Absolutely perfect. Made me burst into laughter, I literally LOL'd...in fact, I almost ROLF'd...No hint that a joke is coming leading up to it, just an earnest report doing what they do best, reporting on the latest snow storm. He even leads in with the classic reporter line "There are times when...," drops his joke perfectly, and rolls right into the dramatic "this is one of those times," line.
Textbook, I guarantee he sent that reel straight to the producers of Dateline, who upon viewing immediately called his agent and made a deal. So long Ann Curry, hello James Lynch. Just the right man for the right time.
