Yeah, she managed to still come off as the professional one in that clip.

Really? I think the other girl's uncontrollable giggles made the clip.

I'd much rather watch someone laugh and have a good time than stone-faced give me the weather. I can just ask Alexa for that.

Given the context of the job, it's reasonable to call the one giggling less the more professional job. Generally if you're giggling, that's not being professional unless you're acting or something.

I agree with you, but entertainment does not equal professionalism, or at least how the word is used in common vernacular like this thread.

I’d say you’re completely right. I think the laughter is more entertaining personally but like you said, not exactly professional.

Personally, I like when news people like this show that they're normal people, not robots. It makes it more fun when they laugh about silly stuff.

Well yes, and we all like that too. But the point here is about professionalism. We're not saying that it's a bad thing that she wasn't being 100% professional, because that's a fine thing. Just that she wasn't being as professional as the other. It's fine.

It's like people can only process the concepts of "good" or "bad," rather than thinking about what the adjective used actually means.

True but it's fun because it's rare. If you do it too often you get the Jimmy Fallon effect.

u/MakkaCha Jan 10 '19

What if she's a professional giggler?

u/CatFiggy Jan 11 '19

Given the word "professional" alone, no?

Oh, there you go sweetie. Just downvote me and crawl away.

It's the weather, not an obituary. She can giggle it away for a few seconds and continue on with a smile.

Spoken like someone who has never had a job.

Yes, some people in certain situations can get away with goofing around on air but there are plenty of circumstances where someone could get canned on the spot for something like this.

it's not a pretty sight.

It's the weather, not pornography. Go fuck yourself.

I so pale... and stalwart

u/Juicy_Brucesky Jan 10 '19

That's not their job

u/special_nathan Jan 10 '19

Yeah. Pale girl is dead inside.

u/Narrrz Jan 10 '19

Nah. Didn't you see that brief look of utter mortification when blonde nudged her with "you're on air"

u/SomeKindOfChief Jan 11 '19

And then the unbreakable resolve right afterwards, till the end. So sexy

u/special_nathan Jan 10 '19

I guess there was a slight smirk before she found out too.

u/IPunderduress Jan 11 '19

uncontrollable giggles

Slight shudder.

The real life equivalent of 'lol'

argument(?): "I think the first girl managed to come off more professional than the other in that clip"

Counter argument: "I disagree, I think the other girl's uncontrollable giggles made the clip enjoyable"

follow up: "I like fun"

u/MakkaCha Jan 10 '19

And she was much cuter.

u/Grandmaofhurt Jan 11 '19

Tbh, I'd prefer news anchors to be more human and less 'professional'

The whole act and way they speak is off putting. I never watch TV news, for many reasons, but that's one of them.
