North Dakota TV anchor for a Bismarck television station, A.J. Clemente, on his first and what turns out to be his last day, starts newscast with the words "Fuckin' shit".
Video below:

After the disastrous beginning, he took to Twitter:
That couldn't have gone any worse!

It got worse for the poor guy, he was then fired.
Twitter folks did give him support.
Video of Clemente's two-word uttering was immediately posted online via social media sites, and the hashtag "Keep AJ" started trending on Twitter in support of him.

He handled the firing with grace though:
Unfortunately KFYRTV has decided to let me go. Thank you to them and everyone in ND for the opportunity and everyone for the support.
