If Jim Kosek — the weatherman in this video — looks familiar to you, it’s probably because you saw him losing his mind over the Snowpocalypse last year. Or it’s possible that you’re one of the sad people who needs to turn on the television to get the weather report because you don’t have a smartphone with The Weather Channel app.
Either way, Kosek is as enthusiastically bonkers as ever, as he directs this New York City weather report directly to the Bronx Zoo’s escaped cobra. At one point I think he recommends that the cobra go to Opening Day at Yankee Stadium and eat a hot dog. I’m not sure; sometimes it’s hard to follow him through the Chris Farley-meets-professional-wrestler shouting. The only person who could do the weather better than this is Macho Man Randy Savage.

ok, so i work at accuweather in the radio department. Jim cuts his vids right on the other side of the wall from my booth and i can honestly admit, he’s pretty nuts. every day around 4pm i start hearing what seem to be murderous screams from around the bend only to realize kosek’s just excited about some weather related shenanigan.
also, in a bit of shameless self-gratitude, thanks for getting the Accuweather app. we’re an independent company from central PA still run by the guy who founded the place in the 60s.
i’m a long time reader of the site, check it every day as do a few of my coworkers. thanks for helping to promote jim but mainly thanks for being hilarious.
Ehhhh Mark Mathis did crazy better.
Should have gone with “Snakey, Snakey, come out to play-ay”

/can’t wait for another 12′ of snow up here

@Johnny: do me a favor and remind your buddy Jim that some viewers actually tune in to Accuweather to, you know, get the forecast. I have around 80 other channels wher I can watch poorly developed comedy schtick, and my parents’ house if I want some insane retard in an ill-fitting suit to scream at me.
Johnny Marsh if this was reddit I’d upvote you, I’d upvote you hard
“I have around 80 other channels wher I can watch poorly developed comedy schtick, and my parents’ house if I want some insane retard in an ill-fitting suit to scream at me.”
Everyone to Stinky Pete’s for the holidays this year?!
@watanabex if this were reddit i’d hopefully have something clever to come up with.
and @stinkypete, i can see what you mean. if i can make a recommendation check out Alexandra Rabb’s forecast. she’s my buddy from way back and just gives straight weather.
But Johnny, the question is, is she hot?
reminds me of [www.youtube.com]
The man is the Daniel Songer of weather.
Looks like a dong on the screen at 27 seconds.
Sooo, we’ve got weather, pro wrestling yelling and Chris Farley?
“YO SOY EL NINO! El Nino is Spanish for…. THE NINO.”
@Patty, great call not to mention he says “delicioso” like the Spanish speaking back pack on Dora The Explorer
I wouldn’t be pissed at the weather being completely off if this guy did our weather. Bad Ass.
Also, I’m going to New York this summer and was planning on going to the Bronx Zoo. But not until that little fucker is found and put down… or I’m allowed to bring a honey badger.
“…like the Spanish speaking back pack on Dora The Explorer.”
That’s why “The Map” > “Backpack”.
At least HE comes to this country, takes a job from an American map, and has the courtesy to speak our language.
Best. Weather. Report. Ever.
John Carpenter’s ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK: Cobra Snake!
@StinkyPete the forecast is right there in front of you on the AccuWeather page. You don’t need to watch the video to see what it’s going to be like. I get my weather from AccuWeather, but the only time I actually watch the videos (because I can read) is when I see that Kosek did my weather. Love that guy!
Jim Kosek is the best, period. our weather people where I live are boring and stuffy.
