Neither viewers nor his in-studio anchors were quite ready for KTLA weatherman Henry DiCarlo’s abrupt on-air walkout over being told to cut his report short.

Cocaine’s a hell of a drug.
Brilliant observation, Sparky.
Howard Beale Lives!!!!!
Pity that Mr DiCarlo only went Half-Bale & didn’t throw a Full Christian on set.
Good decision.
oh wow, he spoke his point of view and let his bosses know what’s up…good job
While completely throwing professionalism out the door. This is his JOB, remember, regardless if he is on TV. Tell me… How many of you Americans are unemployed right now? But he gave me a good laugh. Thanks Henry!
I always thought Kriski would be the first one to walk off.
Way to go Henri! Sometimes you just gotta speak what you feel. That male news anchor douche who threw Henri under the bus should get canned. No class at all or loyalty.Christmas day is coming, It is a meaningful day for everyone. However, would like to find match before Christmas day and you can celebrate together. Bl-ack-whi-te’Pl-anet.COMIt’s a person’als place where to- connect with beautiful and excellent people! a nice best place for bla-ck whit-e sin-gles, to interact with each other…no games or extremes in front of true love. . the weather isn’t actually crucial, you know? I’d rather the whole weather segment on every channel in L.A. was replaced by a “Cute Puppy Report.” Who needs fifteen seconds on every downer story on the AP wire?
It gets good at :30
Typical L.A. tv station… cut weather segment short for anything else– lame interview, stupid car chase… who cares if people are travelling and need to know about the weather in the midwest…
Come on, now, Steve!
1. We live in L.A. Unless the wind is blowing in Pasadena or someone in Oxnard felt a snowflake settle on their sunburned nose, the weather isn’t actually crucial, you know? I’d rather the whole weather segment on every channel in L.A. was replaced by a “Cute Puppy Report.” Who needs fifteen seconds on every downer story on the AP wire?
2. People who need to “know about weather in the midwest” probably shouldn’t be watching the L.A. weather report.
3. I hear they have a whole new-fangled channel entirely devoted to weather now.
Person in the audience says
I vote for “the cute puppy report”.
Chairperson of the meeting says:
Do I see any more votes for “the cute puppy report”
“Don’t tell me how to do a stand-up, Haircut.” (Herb Welch, SNL)
That was awesome. I’d tune in to see him work. We need to have more real fights on air! I’m serious. The whole, if it bleeds it leads, needs to be updated with personal fights and vendettas.
You must work for Bravo.
He had the time for both the weather and his important story. He just cost himself not only a shot at becoming a reporter but hopefully his job. What a jerk.
I don’t think you know what you are talking about.
Way to go Henri! Sometimes you just gotta speak what you feel. That male news anchor douche who threw Henri under the bus should get canned. No class at all or loyalty.
Hilarious but he did do what a TON of people in local news in la and ny wish they could do right now…. Tell their corporate, hacky boses – who are trying to cut around union rules, over using daily hires, having people do the work of 5 people do or be fired, have people do the work of five people then fire them after they take a pay cut – to go f themselves. The on air mistakes r happening like crazy as corporate greed has taken over local news’s once prime requirement of having an FCC lincense – to serve the public. Frustrations will spill onto our screens it really is a crime what our policticals have allowed to happen to local news. Still…. Di whatever seems like a jack ass.
second that!
If your job can be replaced by an app, you should do whatever you can not to screw it up. But that’s just me.
So I gather there’s an opening for a weather man at KTLA?
Hey kids, if you really want more weather talk, there’s a whole cable channel devoted to it.
now we’ll never know what the toys for tots guy or whoever he was was about to tell us.
oh well, fuck it!
Finally something interesting happened on local news.
Not sure why this is making such news. Hopefully he keeps his job.
I agree Whatchoo! Henry is very entertaining when I have to view the news and weather…I keep a close eye on weather..it’s changing all the time. Hope we find out soon if he is coming back…I am sure we all feel the same way about our jobs at one time or another….too many judgemental people out there…some have no idea of what the news/weather/entertainment goes through…atleast they make it enjoyable for the viewers.
Why is there a weatherman in Los Angeles?
Hey, it’s not always sunny and mild out here. Occasionally it even drizzles, triggering a “STORM WATCH!!!” on all the local news broadcasts.
heh heh…can’t help but be reminded of Steve Martin’s character in “LA Story”.
Well, Henry is still on the KTLA Talent Bio page . . . for now. Tune in tomorrow.
The weather got dark and cloudy all of a sudden.
Stay classy Princess DiCarlo.
Good for him.
People are getting fed up with companies trying to do more with less to save their bottom line while the executives rake in exhorbitant amounts of cash to bear down on the worker-bees.
I’m glad it happened on air. That’s the only way to draw attention to a situation that has probably been ignored by HR, protocol and the chain of command.
Just goes to show you what an arrogant prick Henry is!!!
Later in the morning DiCarlo and someone who I assume was the show’s producer actually joined the anchors on the set (in the 9:00 hour the morning news show goes into a more relaxed, View-ish format where they discuss the “watercooler buzz”) to clear the air. According to their sheepish explanation, there had been a miscommunication–DiCarlo was supposed to do the weather first, then use the remaining time to have a quick chat with the Toys for Tots guy. Instead, he went into the interview first, and left himself with no time for the weather.
