For the Fuk of it
Adrian from Fullerton, a loyal Daily News reader noting the recent Top 10/Bottom 5 list of L.A. TV personalities, said he happened to be watching the KABC Channel 7 6 p.m. newscast a few days ago when Rob Fukuzaki was doing the sports segment.
Fuk has been one of our hot and cold favorites over the years. One year we decided that the whole idea of TV sportscasters was sex appeal, so we conducted a reader poll to determine the sexiest LA TV sportscaster. Fuk won.
More recently, we've kind of grown tired of the act and relegated him to bottom-feeder status. On the most recent poll, he was only good enough for horrible mention.
Now, for anyone who tries to watch sports news before 11 p.m., you know its about four minutes of filler, if that much, feature stuff that a staff of reporters can easily fill if they've got some juice, but sometimes just an awkward moment before they go to the weather guy.
So Fuk is focusing on the annual Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue with Beyonce on the cover. Fuk then notes that the issue came with 3D glasses, meant for the reader to wear to read a story on ... something stupid.
Acting as if he'd never seen 3D glasses, Fuk put them on, then made a goofy statement about how if you wear the glasses, you'll have Channel 7's HD in 3D.
He then tilted his head and made a goofy face.
And for the goodness of DVR, that TV frame was frozen, captured with a digital camera, emailed here, and presented for all to enjoy:
Comments
I hate to be negative but Fuk's post game show on ABC is the worst sports show available in this market. If it was Peoria, Ill. or maybe Lubbock, Texas I would give the show a passing grade but this is Hollywood and there's no excuse for the mediocrity of Fuk and Norm Nixon.
