News Anchor, Pranked By Co-Anchor, Licks iPad On Live TV

Good rule of thumb: if somebody urges you to lick your iPad–and you happen to be on live television–just assume it’s a gag. That’s probably what KSWB morning anchor Shally Zomorodi would tell you after her co-anchor Raoul Martinez punked her on air Friday.

San Diego morning show viewers were treated to Martinez pretending to describe an amazing new iPad app that allowed users to “smell” and “taste” food right on their tablet.

Martinez demonstrated with his phone, insisting he could smell something. When Zomorodi was handed an iPad, she failed to smell anything and her friendly co-anchor urged her to try tasting it. And she did.

It is funny, but...on air is not the place for jokes as professionals. (I know, this is the media)

We all got a good laugh out of it, but she just demonstrated what most of us already know, that people who sit behind those desks aren’t mental giants, they can just read from a script or teleprompter, like Dan Rather and such.

That said, her career is damaged, probably ruined, because the guy had to get a laugh at her expense.

It was funny, and elaborate, but that guy better watch his tail.

That’s almost as funny as the old “if you put salt on butter it makes it smell like vanilla” trick.

You pour a little salt on the pat of butter, tell your gullible friend that a chemical reaction between the two puts off a vanilla smell, then when the gullible friend tries to verify the vanilla smell you push the friend’s head down (or push the butter up) to smear the salty butter on the gullible friend’s nose/face.

Even funnier the way the guys kept teasing her afterward.

LOL

Thanks!

I just sent an email to the KSWB website congratulation them on a very funny video. It was so hilarious!

That gal was a good sport about it too. She did get setup pretty good though.

Still laughing. LOL

It was very funny..very well done, though at the beginning, the guy almost gave it away...

If they're BOTH on air next April Fool's Day, he should probably do the show wearing waders, a poncho, and a football helmet..

LMAO...very funny.

What kills it for me is how people get into the left versus right thing in the comments. Man folks, just have some fun.

And she is cool with it! She can laugh at herself and enjoy the joke. Sheesh. Get over yourselves.
