Tiny Finch Joins NBC’s ‘Today’ as Weather Bird
Tiny Finch Joins NBC’s ‘Today’ as Weather Bird
In what industry insiders are calling a completely unexpected move, NBC has hired a tiny finch with little on-air experience to handle weather updates for the third hour of Today each morning. Prior to landing this national gig, the finch was a weather analyst for NBC 5 in Dallas-Forth Worth, TX and a production assistant at a CBS affiliate in Oklahoma City, OK.
“I’m shocked,” said Tom Anders, a writer for Variety. "With so many talented on-air meteorologists to pull from at both the Weather Channel and NBC’s vast affiliate network, to hire a completely untested finch is completely baffling. Still, I wish him the best.“

Friends: Lottery-Winning Duck Is ‘Out of Touch’
Friends: Lottery-Winning Duck Is ‘Out of Touch’
Things changed for Bentley when he won $16 million in the state lottery drawing last September. He quickly upgraded from a modest one bedroom to a luxury duplex in the hills. It wasn’t long before he developed a taste for the finer things.
“There’s nothing wrong with enjoying the niceties,” says Jessie Blom, a former friend. “But what does he need tufted Egyptian cotton bath towels for? He’s a duck – the water should roll right off.”
It’s those little things that worry friends – perhaps Bentley has lost touch with his roots. “He’s really changed,” says Ericka Nebel, a family friend. “I’m not sure we have much in common anymore.”
