This is a late breaking News Update from Eyewitness News 5. Throwing it over to the news desk with lead anchor Ken Bastida. Ken…

I’m sorry. Come again?

Hmm. Interesting.

Some things that probably would have helped prevent this unfortunate occurrence:

1. A slight pause.
2. A change of inflection.
3. Replacement of the word “He” with “A man.”
4. Letting the audience figure out for themselves that Dana wasn’t there.
5. Holding up a finger to indicate a new, different thought was being expressed.
6. Leading off with a less gruesome lead story.
7. Stop giving Dana nights off.

Anyway, I just hope Dana’s doing all right. Dana, if you’re out there, give us a call and let us know you’re alright. It’s just that I worry.
