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.
Missed it, I was watching sheena on ch. 10...— tsulpizio- Watching Jim Gardner flub a line every time they went back to him was my entertainment to get me thru the storm. I think it's time to let that old mountain lion out to permantently graze and let Rick Williams take over the 11 o'clock news like he has the noon and 5pm slots already. Can never have enough Rick Williams.— gilligan
- I hear David Murphy's name mentioned right before she says moron so maybe she was talking about Murph. No one really knows who it was directed at. Murph seems like a swell guy. I see him at Phillies games every so often.— Phillies2008WSChamps
- I don't know about Adam, but Cecily is a train wreck without all that make-up. No wonder the floor director wanted more makeup on. I used to think she was a hottie but then saw some photos of her "plain". Ugh. No thanks.— scootch
- I don't understand all of the Cecily haters - her trainwreck of a personal life is her problem. She still is eye candy, would you rather see Carol, Monica, or Renee? Besides, when I really wanna watch weather, I watch the Bowtie!— Phillyfan among the NYers
- Channel 6 weather team is a joke.I'd rather look out the window and guess how the day is going to progress.As far as the Cecily's comment goes there is an old saying:Tis better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.— vrb1955
- I haven't watched local news in a while but definitely noticed the boob job Cecily got. She certainly did say moron. I also noticed Cathy Orr got weird looking. Glad I stick to reading news here and getting weather at weather.com. Local news is only good when there is a major local event like Sandy. Too bad I lost my power for two days and am just getting caught up.— luvnjshore
- She is not a nice person. At the auto show she couldn't have tried harder to avoid talking to people. And we were with a VIP who helped her get her job. She wouldn't give him the time of day! Guess she doesn't believe in karma. And what's with Jim sticking up for her? I'm changing the channel.— Frednvicky

- I still kind of like Cecily - but I'm beginning to think I might have some MORON in me. Sheena Parveen is looking better every day!— Bota
- Anyone who watches the local news for anything but a laugh and some hidden ads is a moron. MORE ON that later.— xkarivalis
- All I know is Tynan is gorgeous and really that's all that matters— Dutch10
