Conan O'Brien Officiates Gay Wedding On Air
Conan O'Brien celebrated his own anniversary by effectively creating another.
The late-night talk show host made television history Thursday night by officiating the wedding of longtime costume designer Scott Cronick and his partner David Gorshein on the stage of New York City's Beacon Theatre in what may have been first-ever on-air same-sex wedding.
Wearing a metallic-flecked suit of his own design, Cronick was walked down the aisle by Bravo TV executive Andy Cohen, whom O'Brien noted was the groom's favorite celebrity.
Though details of the nuptials had been kept under tight wraps, a spokesman last week confirmed that a same-sex wedding would take place during O'Brien's visit to New York, timed to coincide with the one-year anniversary of his show on TBS.
Whales Surprise Surfer Near Santa Cruz, California Beach
Barbara Roettger, the woman who shot the video, told ABC News that the group was about a quarter mile from shore when the whales surfaced. Roettger was only 20 feet away from encounter.
According to ABC News, "scientists believe weather patterns have driven fish closer to shore this year and brought the feeding whales with them."
The surprising encounter captured in the video is not the first one in the waters near Santa Cruz. The Associated Press reports that the U.S. Coast Guard has been monitoring a pod of humpbacks that have come within a mile of shore looking for food.
Roettger admitted that whale encounters like hers can be dangerous. "We were crazy to be out there, " she told ABC News. "You're a sitting duck, basically."
Officials are concerned for human safety, especially for kayakers and boaters who try to get a closer look at the creatures. No human injuries have been reported, but "at least one sailboat was damaged this week when it struck a whale."
BC Sports Anchor Wins $2-Million Lottery On Air
Imagine winning the lottery. Now imagine winning the lottery while you're on live TV.
Global BC sports anchor Barry Deley was caught by surprise when he won a lottery for B.C. Children's Hospital on Monday. The draw was being broadcast by the station he worked for. Deley will have his choice of a home or $2 million.
The reactions of Deley's co-workers on air are worth watching. "Is he allowed to win," anchor Squire Barnes quipped. "Hey Barry, we're best friends, right?," anchor Sophie Lui joked while Deley waited on the phone.
"You know people will think this is kinda fishy, don't ya?," a surprised Deley said live on the air while he was shopping for groceries.
Barry is a pretty deserving winner, though. His daughter had a successful battle against cancer seven years ago and Deley said that he's been a long-time supporter of the hospital.
"Children's Hospital has just been a huge part of our life because they saved her life. We're forever grateful," he said in an interview
