Sharpton’s TelePrompter Challenge Continues

NBC News' newest star, Al Sharpton, continues to have trouble with his TelePrompter.

August 18, 2011 at 4:21 pm - MSNBC
Dateline: New York
Cowboy Logic   August 18th, 2011 - 4:27 pm

I finally figured it out.
NBC and MSNBC recently did an in-house shuffle.

The new writers hired for the upcoming season of SNL got the wrong directions, and reported for work at Sharptons set.

madbowler6   August 18th, 2011 - 4:27 pm

I hope MSDNC keeps him foreverrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! I will never get tired of watching his muffs.

Divrack   August 18th, 2011 - 4:29 pm

The gift that keeps giving

B17Engr   August 18th, 2011 - 4:29 pm

Hey Al,
All you have to do is read it!
Press 2 for English!

LuKuj   August 18th, 2011 - 4:30 pm

does he have trouble with the tleleprompter or just reading in general?

WorldclaZZ   August 18th, 2011 - 4:31 pm

Can MSNBC please provide subtitles during the Rev. Al show?

Cowboy Logic   August 18th, 2011 - 4:31 pm

Reading in general.

They checked the teleprompter.
It is fine.

Kingkaiser   August 18th, 2011 - 4:32 pm

NBC Exec: " if he can't get a story about basketball right, what are we gonna do?"

BBReggie   August 18th, 2011 - 4:33 pm

Reading teleprompter transcripts may not be his long suit.

jughead417   August 18th, 2011 - 4:34 pm

The Statement Department?? Even if Al can't read, he should have enough intelligence to know the proper name of the State Department. He is such a fool. Many African-American youths are planning a professional sports team career instead of discovering where their genuine career talents lie. Now comes crap-blanket Sharpton who is demonstrating to these youths that race, not education, is the only qualification necessary to obtain a job as a news anchor. Where are the African-American role models for non-sport or media careers in accounting, engineering, computer technology, etc.?

Shoehanger   August 18th, 2011 - 4:35 pm

Honestly, I watch these videos primarly to see the picture of him at the end.

S_Elliot_Rodax   August 18th, 2011 - 4:35 pm

He provides an endless supply of comic relief.

dukem1   August 18th, 2011 - 4:35 pm

MSNBC
Hire the handicapped. They're fun to watch!

Pobbo©®™   August 18th, 2011 - 4:35 pm

It looked like an "Interlopers" dream. Freddy's Fashion Mart wish they had it so good.

BalkanDeputy   August 18th, 2011 - 4:37 pm

It has now been announced by MSNBC that NotSoShartons Teleprompters are too White and Racist for not speaking Ebonics. They are currently being replaced by Speakers from the Hood.

Nightfly24   August 18th, 2011 - 4:37 pm

Al Sharpton's purpose on MSNBC is to make Obama look like a smart man. It takes someone as stupid as Al to accomplish that feat. What else is he good for… providing hilarious sound bites for the late night talk shows?

I don't want to hear anyone tell me that Obama is brilliant. I'll just laugh at them as say …. "compared to who, Al Sharpton?".

bob1004   August 18th, 2011 - 4:38 pm

breaking news: BO said he feals regretful for what happend today but blames it on bush's administration. Biden decided not to coment until he talked to BO just so he could be reminded if he was supossed to cheer for the chinese or USA

Nightfly24   August 18th, 2011 - 4:38 pm

SNL hasn't been that funny in years.

flappdoodle   August 18th, 2011 - 4:39 pm

So they've finally figured out how to raise their ratings.

Tokyomatt   August 18th, 2011 - 4:40 pm

Al would sound a lot better if they replace his voice with Tickle Me Elmo's voice! And might I add be more entertaining as well!

HeReturnsSoon   August 18th, 2011 - 4:40 pm

OMG, Al Sharpton IS Dave Chappelle!

Doyouwantmore   August 18th, 2011 - 4:42 pm

Gotta love it when people find out that knowing how to read actually IS important.

Richard Cranium   August 18th, 2011 - 4:42 pm

Maybe that rat hole of a channel needs to hire someone fluent in ebonics to program the teleprompter?

Nightfly24   August 18th, 2011 - 4:42 pm

Does Hillary work for the Statement Department, or is that the propaganda office of the WH who write Al's script?

rata2lee   August 18th, 2011 - 4:42 pm

Maybe they could put the teleprompter on a KFC menu board. just saying.

Cowboy Logic   August 18th, 2011 - 4:44 pm

MSNBC has requested that its loyal viewers remain patient, as they stagger through their technical difficulties and get the bugs and kinks worked out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QjgcZA_ezWE

Maggiepoo   August 18th, 2011 - 4:45 pm

WELL HAS THE BLACK JOURNALIST ASSOCIATION HAD ENOUGH YET? THIS JACKASS SHARPTON IS MAKING PROPER FOOLS OUT OF ALL OF THEM! UNBELIEVABLE!

JacksonPearson   August 18th, 2011 - 4:45 pm

Hang tough Al
Thoughtless reading is really hard to master. You'll get hands on training when Baracky's through vacationing!

urchallenged   August 18th, 2011 - 4:46 pm

Al would have been a much better tree sitter……..now if they would let him use a bull horn(crutch) until he gets this reading thing down….nahh this train wreck won't stop until they take him off the air

publius74   August 18th, 2011 - 4:47 pm

Al Sharpton's mind is a "side empty bench".

dukem1   August 18th, 2011 - 4:48 pm

I vote for just reading in general.

Cowboy Logic   August 18th, 2011 - 4:48 pm

Punt.

publius74   August 18th, 2011 - 4:48 pm

Al Sharpton needs his own Statement Department, a department to keep him from making asshat statements.

ANY1elseN2012   August 18th, 2011 - 4:51 pm

That racist TelePrompter is at it again. Big al should borrow prez 0 for the next 10 days while prez 0 is vacationing with millionaires and billionaires, BO won't need it. I also think that Secretary of Statement should launch an investigation to see if this is tele-terrorism to this (self) righteous (w)holy incoherent self proclaimed reverend. Where is his church/temple/mosque again? Oh that's right, it doesn't exist. Again, the secretary of statement should look into that too. Big al is so much more eloquent when he is hating on other races for (alleged) kickbacks. He is like a great white shark out of water (no offense meant by calling you white, al).

smellyfinger   August 18th, 2011 - 4:52 pm

I bet he eats in bed

winstonlabrador   August 18th, 2011 - 4:52 pm

I have not watched it in years, and now its baaccckkkk!!!!!

Jesus Loves Tea   August 18th, 2011 - 4:52 pm

The scars of a "bad" public school education can stay with a person forever ……… don't do it to your kids.

maybe MSNBC will spring for a reading comprehension course for Al.

Cowboy Logic   August 18th, 2011 - 4:54 pm

Reading and comprehension used to be elementary foundational educational skills.

Evidently, now they are optional electives.

username112973   August 18th, 2011 - 4:57 pm

Another funny clip from the Al Sharpton Show. Thank you again for making me laugh. Makes me think of Anchor Man with Will Ferril. Sharpton's a riot! MSNBC NEWS has to keep him on. It's the only show that makes me laugh everyday, thanks to Sharpton. I'm talkin deep belly laughs. I will "resist much," if they try to take him off the air. He's such a stupid idiot, it's hilarious!

jughead417   August 18th, 2011 - 4:59 pm

Great idea. That's an entrepreneurial opportunity that will create jobs! NBC will need a dozen or so support staff to dumb down the teleprompter to one and two syllable words so that Al can handle the large volume of letters of the alphabet while on the air, and they can send out retractions for his verbal fick-ups via Twitter.

HeReturnsSoon   August 18th, 2011 - 5:01 pm

Mr. Sharpton is simply demonstrating his mastery of the new jourlalistic Burtation skills.

HeReturnsSoon   August 18th, 2011 - 5:03 pm

Hey, maybe Dave Chappelle is writing his show, that would explain everything.

Ritty77   August 18th, 2011 - 5:04 pm

Painful, but truly funny.

Thank you for watching, so I don't have to.

LSteveTaylor   August 18th, 2011 - 5:04 pm

Hey you people stop giving oh lipo-suction al such a hard time, you know he is black,fat, uneducated, he just can't help but lie (his culture u know), he can't read to well, cut this monkey a little slack, you know like affirmative black tv action, big al is on a black scholarship at this so called tv network, and he must pull at least a D to stay on the air, and this is real questionable for al, because most of the reverend's time is spent sucking up to obummer, and michell's big black ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

shaggatha   August 18th, 2011 - 5:04 pm

He is worse reader than Shep Smith. Shep has a quicker recovery time and makes it sound like he meant to say the wrong word.

smellyfinger   August 18th, 2011 - 5:06 pm

Remember my friends
as Republicans we must fix bayonets on spending and tax hikes.

HeReturnsSoon   August 18th, 2011 - 5:08 pm

Ya right, like those will work.

HookedOnObonics   August 18th, 2011 - 5:11 pm

The Statement Department…aren't they the one's that over see Obumbles speeches and maintain the TelePrompter?

HeReturnsSoon   August 18th, 2011 - 5:13 pm

(crickets chirping)… Oh, they must be on break with congress, please try again later.

Thinker822   August 18th, 2011 - 5:14 pm

Perhaps he should have spent more time learning to read while speaking than walking the streets peddling misdirection and hate. Tawana Al, he ain't just for riots anymore. Thanks MSNBC…you've finally settled your corporate direction…IDIOTIC ABSURD HUMOR

LoveyHowell   August 18th, 2011 - 5:15 pm

Georgetown Universee?

Both bitches cleared?

The Statement Department?

This is what we get when Hooked on Ebonics is taken seriously and the nation is dumbed down to their level.

HeReturnsSoon   August 18th, 2011 - 5:18 pm

im gonna guess that you voted for Jesse Ventura.

To funny ! Maybe since he's "Rev" Al he's talking Biblically instead of ebonics…??? LOL

4arepublic   August 18th, 2011 - 5:30 pm

Say it ain't so , Cowboy. Did you really mean ebonics has caught up with the times?

CrooklynBoy   August 18th, 2011 - 5:31 pm

ROFLMFAO! This is like divine providence! Cash-karma is a mofo!

palidin911   August 18th, 2011 - 5:32 pm

Clown Sharpton don't be dealing in no standard english. What we needs is da homeboys to put up da script on da telepromter in ebonics.

CrooklynBoy   August 18th, 2011 - 5:32 pm

Sorry, I gotta post again,

ROFLMMFAO! Classic. SNL, where are you?

hezaAZsmitty   August 18th, 2011 - 5:33 pm

Never, ever interupt the fool when he is making your case!

4arepublic   August 18th, 2011 - 5:33 pm

Nearly pissed my pants, my friend. He is hilarious.

yossarian22   August 18th, 2011 - 5:34 pm

New guvment bureau; The Statement Department—they put out statements.

Indiv_Lib   August 18th, 2011 - 5:35 pm

Ssh–our undercover conservative teleprompter intern is just doing his job. When we hired him we just told him to type out real American words in plain English. No need for sabotage here!!

CrooklynBoy   August 18th, 2011 - 5:42 pm

I'm still laughing at this happy crappy!

sulmak   August 18th, 2011 - 5:55 pm

A brawl with Chinese basketball players and no Kung Fu, disappointing.

thale_taxurfeet   August 18th, 2011 - 6:00 pm

"SNL, where are you? "

The Statement Department, for the hearing impaired.

Hey! You asked.

LizardLips   August 18th, 2011 - 6:02 pm

Just like a good old beatdown of whitey in a flash mob or the state fair, eh Rev? I think the B in MoronSNBC stands for 'Buffoon'.

LizardLips   August 18th, 2011 - 6:04 pm

Someone on the inside doesn't like Al.

smellyfinger   August 18th, 2011 - 6:14 pm

Pass the word,
The Obama bus gets 9 mpg

EasySunshine   August 18th, 2011 - 6:17 pm

I love Breibart's spotlight on big Al Sharpton. Hilarious.

Couriggia   August 18th, 2011 - 6:17 pm

Al is a rock 'n roller don't ya know! Talks like he's got rocks in his head and a roll in his mouth!!

Cowboy Logic   August 18th, 2011 - 6:18 pm

I'll bet you never knew that MSNBC had its own theme-song for Al http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rN7R6r0T48 did you?

bluecollarbytes   August 18th, 2011 - 6:19 pm

If we have a 'Statement Department' where's the Statement Czar?

doublezero12   August 18th, 2011 - 6:23 pm

The hubby just dubbed him Sir Gaffs-a-lot.

Tidalwave2012   August 18th, 2011 - 6:27 pm

Hi, I'm Barack Obama. Would you like to be able to make people experience a thrill up their leg. Well you can! Just buy my Barack Obama professional teleprompter reading home correspondence course. Just three easy payments of 1 trillion dollars. Teleprompter not included. If you act now we will include a coupon for a nice Canadian made teleprompter. So act now. Command the respect you know you deserve.

The teleprompter challenge is over.Its the teleprompter by a TKO

Doesn't anyone else have to shower after being hit with all that poop flying out of his mouth? Poop out of his mouth.

Shannon H. Ferguson   August 18th, 2011 - 6:52 pm

Please stop covering Al Sharpton. I cannot take it anymore. MSNBC and Sharpton together…well, it just makes me sick.

Democrat Downgrade   August 18th, 2011 - 6:54 pm

This truly isn't a teleprompter problem. Obviously, Al Sharpton is so used to Ebonics, he can't read!

Lightrider1   August 18th, 2011 - 6:58 pm

MSNBC, PLEASE K-E-E-P THIS LIB!!!! HE IS DOING A G-R-E-A-T JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lightrider1   August 18th, 2011 - 7:00 pm

GOT ME. WHERE ARE THEY????? OH WELL.

Phoenixisme   August 18th, 2011 - 7:04 pm

Good find! That was worth the watch. Thanks!

Lightrider1   August 18th, 2011 - 7:05 pm

On the side bench he be stay much.

Dannawally   August 18th, 2011 - 7:10 pm

Sure, Al's a little slow on the uptake, but, hey, the guy looks great after losing all that weight. Congrats. Al!

BigDadio   August 18th, 2011 - 7:11 pm

I'm gonna need a translator…

TommyGun25   August 18th, 2011 - 7:11 pm

Clearly just before Al says "Statement Department" his head jerks right several times. I can certainly say another case of the FNC Ninjas Bitchslapping The Right Reverend Al…

BigDadio   August 18th, 2011 - 7:12 pm

That's funny-I don't care who ya R!

630%downgrade   August 18th, 2011 - 7:16 pm

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

Democrat Downgrade   August 18th, 2011 - 7:23 pm

What? He looks like he has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel!

jamesinmx   August 18th, 2011 - 7:44 pm

Great material for S.N.L. Bet they wont use this vast resourse. MSNBC do not fire ol Al… great for daily laughs, and keeps Al off the streets with his seven man marches.

sideshow_don   August 18th, 2011 - 7:54 pm

Welcome to Breitbart/Sharpton tv.All Sharpton all the time.

If it wasn't for Sharpton and MSNBC there would be no Breitbart tv.

Sharpton must send a thrill up Andy's leg.

I can't name but about four people on Faux.I don't watch it and I could care less who is on that station.
Sharpton is doing a good job living rent free inside of you right wingers and Andy's head.

onlyparadise   August 18th, 2011 - 7:58 pm

Al , lets get some racism news in .. you don't need a teleprompter. Its natural for you to say racism racism with every word

freedom rocks   August 18th, 2011 - 7:58 pm

I think we now know who the president's real father is.

gc5341   August 18th, 2011 - 8:03 pm

Yes siree, da statement department did say that y'all! Hooray for Secretary of Statement Hilary Clinton and 1 + 1 = 3. I'm Al Sharpton. Goodnight for NBC new.

Corchem   August 18th, 2011 - 8:09 pm

You write about as well as Sharpton reads…

You do not have to watch Fox, however Fox viewership is more than MSNBC, CNN, and any other cable news network COMBINED, so keep living in your separate from reality existence.

By the way Obama is still working on slowing the rise of the oceans and healing the planet, like he promised, right? I know he has done a great job on the economy.

No point in me pointing this out, because in your mind it is Bush's fault…

sideshow_don   August 18th, 2011 - 8:27 pm

Dumb remark. I wouldn't care if every one on the planet watched Faux. I can't figure out why you wingers and Andy are so enthralled with what goes on at MSNBC. It seems as though Obama also lives inside your head rent free.I didn't post anything about Obama or Bush.

CanAirFarce   August 18th, 2011 - 8:28 pm

This poor old man just need glasses, that all.

DebtSlave   August 18th, 2011 - 8:33 pm

Disney should hire Al Sharpton to do a voiceover for an animated character. I was thinking an intemperate, race-baiting wildebeest or water buffalo.

SunCrackedSoul   August 18th, 2011 - 8:33 pm

Im surprised he even bothers to wipe the coke off his nose before going on air
