The Good Day

As far as local morning news, I watch Good Day New York. Don’t let the ‘Fox’ name fool you, this is local news: traffic, subway delays, weather, etc.

Now you can tune into any local TV station and get all the same morning news info, so getting good personalities to report this news is key. GDNY tries harder than any other local channel (as I’ve researched) to keep things interesting.

With that said I’d like to present to you what can only be the “jumping the shark” moment in the team’s efforts to be super personable. It’s called 'The Good Day' and makes me wonder what their brainstorming sessions are like.

When you begin the video the first thing you’ll want to do is stop and enjoy ANYTHING else on the Internet. It’s some of the newscasters dancing in the streets of NYC and encouraging the public to join them. Now this isn’t just any dance; it’s a specific dance with instructions and encouragement.

Do what I do and try to think about these reporters as people that someday want to get the call to the big leagues - prime time news. Look into their forced smiles and see the glimmer of a more respectable career dim away to utter darkness as they “Push right, bring it left, roll low, go high & clap.”

Worried that you’ll get lost in this unfamiliar choreography? Don’t be. There’s a quick tutorial before the organized sadness.
