News anchor says a very discomfiting ‘goodbye’
Ron Burgundy called. He wants his bit back.
This is probably the strangest sign-off and profession of love I have seen in a long, long time.
So, Mike Snyder is leaving the NBC station in Dallas. Probably a time to get a little misty. After all, he has been doing the news there for 30 years.
Wait, this just in …
Snyder is not actually leaving the station. He is gone from the 10 p.m. show, but will still be around for the 5 and 6 p.m. broadcasts. He says he is doing it to “pursue other interests” and attend dinners and Indian Princess gatherings with his daughters. Pursue other interests? Like … catching “Murder She Wrote” reruns at 8 p.m.?
Sounds like a typical sports coach saying he is “choosing to leave” to spend more time with his family. But what do I know?
From the looks of this video, you would think he was about to undergo experimental surgery or ship off to Afghanistan.
Narcissism doesn’t really get any better than this.
I don’t know what else to say, really. Except, “I love you, Jane.” (That will be my new catchphrase for the second half of 2009, by the way.)
Roll the tape …

What an ego on that guy. He probably has a Facebook or MySpace page that links all of his friends to his own blog or something! Awesome!

“I love you, Ron.”
