This is a clip played on NBC, during the season finale of Medium, at approx. 10:27pm. I videoed it, and uploaded it for you guys.
That's Sue Simmons, local NBC News anchor, right? And somebody was trying to "get back at her," or something?
Holy crap.
Update: They just ran the next "coming up at 11" promo, with only Chuck Scarborough's voice, no anchors.
Update 2: The wikipedia entry already says this:
"On May 12, 2008, as a news update began to fade away to commercial, Sue Simmons can be heard saying "What the F*** are you doing."
On May 13, 2008, Sue Simmons was replaced."
If this is a ploy to get me to watch NBC news tonight, it's working.
Update 3: All right, news has started, no mention of the incident, and both Chuck and Sue are present. There was a weird moment where Chuck's audio just faded out, but everything seems to be normal?

I LOVE SUE SIMMONS! I grew up with her... and I don't care what the f*** she said. She apologized. She's human. It's not like medical malpractice or anything.
Too funny!! I keep repeating it in her bipolar high screeched tone (because it was soooo unexpected), "Whahht-the-fuck-are-you-doing?". Can anyone do any NBC digging to find out what made her flip like that?
bheh, I was watching Medium on the dvr, and out of nowhere I here the What the fuck are you doing, heh I had to rewind it to be sure i heard it. then I started googling to see what was on the net about it.
Hope she doesnt get fired.

Update 4: Sue apologized before the first commercial break during the 11:00 news.
My mom and I were shocked that we heard that during the news promo! But it was a lot more funny than it was offensive. It sounds like someone was touching her inappropriately or making faces at her. She must have thought it was that one-story, five-second promo. :-D
sue is the best in the business, and this is proven by her tenure at wnbc. she obviously didn't know she was live, or she certainly wouldn't have said that. i truly hope that wnbc does not take her off the desk today. what they should do is look into the floor director, that wasn't doing his/her job - and perhaps get rid of them.
sue we love ys babe! xoxox
Yeah, just to clarify:
- I thought it was funny, but that someone was playing a clip of Sue or something to embarrass her.
- I don't actually watch Medium.
