Weatherman knees on-air intruder in groin

A young man’s bid for 15 seconds of fame on TV ended with a kick in the groin.

Jim Cantore, a 49-year-old veteran with The Weather Channel, was faced with the intruder as he did a live cross about Winter Storm Leon.

Cantore, who was at the College of Charleston campus in South Carolina, must have heard the student fameseeker holler as he burst into the set for the live cross.

And he was prepared for the sudden change in atmosphere as he caught the student with a knee to the groin as he was reporting live, WTV reported.

“Obviously, here at the College of Charleston they are already having a good time,” Cantore easily quipped and almost without missing a beat carried on his report.

Is it any wonder Cantore is known as the “Rock Star of Meteorologists?”
