6ABC's Cecily Tynan calls colleague Adam Joseph a 'moron' on-air

6ABC meteorologist Cecily Tynan could clearly be heard saying "Moron," after tossing to fellow meteorologist Adam Joseph who began speaking while his microphone was off. This happened around 6:37 p.m. Monday.
But instead of admitting that it happened, first Joseph tweeted: "Let me make this clear if you just watch our weather hit. Cecily did not say "moron" she said "do you want mine on" (the mic) lol Too Funny!
Moments later however, Joseph tweeted what seemed like a confirmation of the comment.
"Man twitter is blowing up over the comment by @cecilytynan! Even if she did say it, its in good humor. We are like brother and sister.
Closer to 7 p.m., anchor Jim Gardner made the matter more bizarre with a somewhat rambling explanation that Tynan had not insulted Joseph.
"Maybe I shouldn't even acknowledge this but the folks who thought that Cecily called Adam an untoward name when Adam was having trouble with his microphone, that's not at all true," Gardner stated.
"What Cecily was saying was "Do you want mine on? My microphone on. And then Adam had a chance to fix his microphone before that even became an issue. If you thought that Cecily called Adam an untoward name that's not the case at all. We don't do that here. We are a family, we love each other," Gardner said before looking at someone, possibly Joseph, off camera and then added "You're acting like a moron." Laughter could be heard on set.
Of course, to make matters worse, Tynan then posted an even more absurd explanation on Facebook about the situation, a picture of which is posted here.
Don't they know the cover-up is always worse than the crime?
Morons.
For those viewing the video, the moron comment is made about 12 seconds in. After Tynan hands off to Joseph.
I don't think she said moron. It sounded like more on— PhilMar- She did say moron. Twice. Jim's explanation, though, should go down in the Philadelphia Broadcasting Hall of Fame. Classic. Funny. And that is why Jim Gardner will be a Philly legend long after he's gone (which I hope is a long time from now).— dazmeister
- Well she was correct, he is a total Moron.— GREEKPICNIC
- Cesilly is the real moron, and a husband-stealer to boot.— Joe Pyne
- So what?!!!!!??? Every place I ever works, people called co-workers names, often in jest. It's not like she called him an A-Hole or something worse. This doesn't deserve the ink to print it, the bytes to post it or my time to respond. I guess I'm the moron!— Nihilist
- Real time reaction, big freaking deal. It's just life folks. He should wear his dunce cap for at least 24 hours.— brightstar1031
- Who cares? Just proves there doesn't need to be more than one weather person on at a time. They've been saying the same things for 2 days. You know the War Department convinced Lincoln he needed a meteorologist. That guy didn't know what was going on either. Told Abe no rain for ten days. They started to move the troops and it rained for ten hours straight. Moron.— dfc5632
- Boy, imagine the emotional imbalance of someone calling themselves 'Joe Pyne'! Then,add in the mis-spelling of her name and the slander and you end up with a real stunad hiding in his basement until the storm ends or his mommy notices that he's been missing for a few years!— Nihilist
- She had the hot mic. She is the moron.— JenEv
- I am sure they say a lot of things about each other when the mic is off! This isn't a big deal.— BigE
- Joseph also directed a "good job" towards Tynan, which she interpreted as "boob job".— LouDiamondPhillipsheadScrewdriver
- Cecily looks good for a golden girl— Jay Grace 69
- Whatever. Sheena Parveen is mopping the floor with everyone else, including the petulant little Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz.— BlairW
- She should take a lesson from Obama. Obvious lies come back to bite you.— dogman5
- LouDiamondPhillips,etc. - You win Top Line of the Night!— Nihilist
