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.
This got more coverage than another famous open mic comment: "This is my last election. I'll have more flexibility after the election."— Phillies2008WSChamps- You know what they remind me of? Scummy Republicans, who are always trying to lie to you and tell you that what you heard you did not really hear. Now, Republicans want you to blame the nearest black man for everything, because they are scum that all should be arrested and thrown in jail.— eldiablodelsol2009
- Sorry, but she said it. She later offered him her mic (about 5 seconds later). She's known for letting her mouth run when she thinks no one is watching/listening (very common in the industry), so why attempt to paint it as something else?— Yoda117
- Did you Call Hurricane Swartz, petulant or flatulant?— Thelonius Monk
- @eldia, the nearest black man IS usually the correct one to blame.— thankgodidontliveinphilly
- My wife and I were watching and thought it was all hysterically funny. Gardner was just having fun with it. Earlier in the same news hour, he was reading Facebook posts and "accidentally" read one where someone was saying "I could watch that Adam Joseph ALL NIGHT LONG"... HA HA— shaman0607
- She's still smokin'!
- It was CLEAR AS DAY, she said Moron! You can tell when Silicone Cecily is lying......her mouth is moving!— montysgirl
- Cecily who? Sheena is the new IT girl!— PhillyIam
Comment removed.- Dazmeister said it perfectly!— mlogan49
- Maybe she was talking to Mitt Romnet and said "Mormon"— ChescoMom
- Who cares there just a bunch of over paid talking heads. The BEST weather man wes Herb Clark and he wasn't a blow hard collage meteorologist.— oldbiker
- What liars they all are..she said "moron" period...Jim you look loke you are 85 years old...are you?????
Probably all voting for Romney and lyin Ryan....— Idaho76erfan - The excuse last night was that she was saying "mine on" meaning does the director want her mic on. Now its "more on" meaning more makeup on her face.
The only people I like on that channel anymore are Rick Williams, Jim Gardner, and Monica Malpass. They seem like the only genuinely nice people on the station. Everyone else seems like they would slit each others throat if they had to.— franknbeans
