I know you’ve all thought to yourselves at one point or another, “who would win in a fight: Geraldo Rivera or a hurricane?” Since Geraldo has a long history of thinking he’s a tough guy when it comes to hurricanes and other severe weather, it’s no surprise he attempted to go toe-to-toe with Hurricane Ike. So, for this edition of Wasting Time we produce the evidence showing ultimately who wins.
There you have it, even though Geraldo sports a pretty tough mustache, he’s no match for the weakest wave from a strong hurricane. Tune in next year when Geraldo looks to redeem himself by taking on an earthquake, live from the fault line.

I love watching reporters, any of them, battle the elements.

There was an old Cheech and Cong routine about him…circa 1975 or so…that’s how long hes been at it.
Go Dagger !

Not the first time the phrase “wasting time” has been associated with Gerry Rivers.
My all time favorite storm blooper has to be Mr Al Roker slip-sliding across that hotel balcony. I think it was Isabel or Floyd…
Carlin says
That Al Roker video was probably the best I’ve seen when it comes to someone losing a battle against the elements.
