Actually, that was at the Metro Toronto Zoo’s Polar Bear Exhibit., located off of Meadowvale Rd and Old Finch Ave, in Toronto. Not in Cochrane.
And it was to publicize the later hours and how the ‘Halloween Howl’ event is selling it’s tickets really fast (Which are already sold out as of today)
this is why the sask riders rule and all the other cfl teams suck. u have guys like him. and monteol stool the gray cup from us last year. AND WELL GETY IT BACK U DAM FRENCHYS

Apologies to ZA.

lmao!
This is definitely my neighbour up in Pickering, Ontario. He is the weatherman for CTV news.
He told us that when he got back to work that day they were making fun of him like crazy. They put a little fake mic and the bill for the $3000 real mic, plus the bill to drain the polar bear
Also, they put that clip in their sports highlight reel twice, and played it behind him while he was standing in front of the weather map greenscreen.
His co-workers had a lot of fun with him that week.
Not real hilarious.
But it was amusing to see how many times he had to mime “I lost my mike!” before the news crew at the desk grasped the idea. Like four times. Wow.
Are they out of their gourds?!
I can’t bear to watch!
Then just paws it before you get to the end.
Bill Engvall would say, “Here’s ursine.”
*facepaw*
Well done, Scotty!
Heehee! Thanks NS, nice to see Halloween Kitty again.
*squeeze*
I think it would make a really cute tattoo … except that I’m thus far uninked, and will likely stay that way.
Oh, so this isn’t you?

Nope – not me (but I think it’s cute).
I had a link for you, but bloggy’s looking at it with hunger in his eyes right now.
Fiiiiiiiiiirst
Fiiiiiiiiiirst FAIL!
F!irst Church of Fail.
So disappointing….I was all geared up to watch a reporter kill a polar bear with a pumpkin.
Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiist!
Where’s ZA? I miss his video recaps.
Me too. *pouts*
There are so many ways that this one could end.
Only in Canada…
Or Alaska.
actually cochrane ontario canada, i grew up there lol i love how that was the only newsworthy thing they could think of doing

True.
Tom Brown is the main weatherman for CTV Toronto, and occasionally they have on-site weather reports at highlight local places or events.
I saw this coming a mile away. From the first pumpkin toss.
All I could do was shake my head.
At first i thought the title was ‘Polar PlumpKin FAIL’ & i thought, ‘Obese Eskimo children?’
Peter, Peter pumpkin eater,
Had a mic but couldn’t keep’er.
I can believe! We all believe in ya, buddy!
Ugh, thank God.
Is there also a cartesian pumpkin fail?
Perhaps not, but there’s obviously a comment win.
God, I feel like such a nerd laughing at that.
He should throw himself in. I’m sure the bears would have more fun with that than with pumpkins.
There are bears involved in this fail?
Could someone please give us a recap?!!!

Oh for Pete’s sake. It took me seven minutes to refresh and post?
*Bukkits*
Normally I wouldn’t do something like this, but seeing Avis resort to anyone’s recap I just couldn’t resist.
Norėjau — kaip geriau, išėjo — kaip visada
Kartais mažiau yra daugiau.
*Removes hat and places it on the podium*
A Halloween human interest story?

Thank you, to both of you. Why haven’t they stopped giving reporters hand help mics?
What else would they shove in someone’s face while asking questions that will never be answered?
Nice recap, Marius. *applauds*
The best part of this video is the “ploop” sound the mic captures as it plunges into the water.
No doubt he would have been more pathetic, But the pool acted as a strong emetic.
~Byron
D’oh!
What a fool.
Even if he could get the mic back, it’s not going to work. They can take a little rain, but they can’t take submersion.
It’ll probably cost the station close to $1,000 to replace the mic and the transmitter.
HUR HUR HUR SO FANNY JOKE!!!1!
This was retarded, why was this even featured?
Is that Ricky Gervais???
I thought it sounded more like Rick Reynolds…but I doubt many know who he is.
meh
The laughter of the studio crew in the background just crack me up!
Well that shut him up…
It’s a win for the bears; they can finally have their karaoke night.
Dont care for the mic; more afraid of him hitting them in the head.
haha stupid american
More like haha stupid Canadian. He’s a weatherman in Toronto.
30 second ad for a 30 second clip. Time for a new sight?
lmao!

They had to drain the polar bear to get the mic out?!??!
Also, they put that clip in their sports highlight reel twice, and played it behind him while he was standing in front of the weather map greenscreen.
His co-workers had a lot of fun with him that week.
Did he got an insurance on that one?
Not real hilarious.
But it was amusing to see how many times he had to mime “I lost my mike!” before the news crew at the desk grasped the idea. Like four times. Wow.
They’re CANADIAN! <3
OH NOES!
the polar bear should pull on it and get him inside
Now to Iorek Byrnison for the weather.
“lets hear a comment from the polar bear”
He threw his Mike in! PARENTING FAIL!
ZING!
Yes, the media in Canada are nearly as bad as the US…we keep trying though
