Ernie Anastos anchors the local Fox news in New York City, but he may be looking for work in Jefferson City or Des Moines after giving some questionable advice on fornicating with barnyard animals, then following that up by ogling women in workout clothes in a preview segment. And as you’ll surely notice in the video, the best part is the mortified look on co-anchor Dari Alexander’s face before she forces it back to a newsy smile:
I’d really like “Keep f-cking that chicken” to enter the language as a common expression, like “it is what it is” or “what’re ya gonna do?” The next time someone tells me about how they’re struggling with something, I’m definitely going to tell them to keep f-cking the chicken. Then I’ll send them these pictures for motivation.

Ernie Anastos IS Ron Burgandy!!!
Casey Kasem’s original America’s Top 40 sign was, “Keep your feet on the ground, and keep fucking that chicken.”
It was later changed to “”Keep your feet on the ground, and keep reaching for the stars.”
*sign off
When Dani Alexander makes that face, hit the “Select” button to uppercut her
She looked like she was gonna shit a Fleetwood.
It won’t be long until that backstabbing, ladder-climbing whore messes with Anastos’ telepromter.
“Goodnight, New York. And keep fucking that … chicken???”
I always took, “it is what it is” to subtlety mean either “ah, fuck it,” if it’s directed at a situation, or “ah, fuck you,” if its directed as a person.
“John, I’m sorry I banged your sister.”
“Meh, it is what it is.”
“He has won 28 Emmy Awards and nominations, and was nominated for the prestigious Edward R. Murrow Award for excellence in writing.”
And if Wikipedia is right (ha!), and God willing, he’s got another Emmy on the way.
God bless him, he’s ogling his co-anchor in workout clothes. Best. Clip. Ever.
Grimey for the win.
I second Grimey’s uppercut comment. That’s hilarious. As is that clip.
The weather guy has a bookmobile???
The best part is his “Im rich and a little drunk” laugh.
Seriously though, how does that just slip out of your mouth? Anyone, who has been watching “Mad Men” knows that this is the 1st stage in dementia.
That was my thought: how in the hell does he say that? It’s not like he thought his mike was off.
He said plucking that chicken
I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest he misread his teleprompter. The original? Keep plucking that chicken.
Grimey for the win. I’m still in tears.
+1 to Grimey. I can’t even look at that picture anymore.
However, one discrepancy. He prefers to be called “Chicken LOVER”.
The anchor in “Well, there goes the Pulitzer” is Alan Williams. Alan is a lifer in Knoxville, simple minded and one of those guys who is “blessed” everytime anything good happens. You know the type. So, excuse his naive reaction.
