Action News Philadelphia - Bloopers

[@ThatGuyInPhilly]

The day I feared, Jim will retire at the end of 2022. He'll be scaling back his schedule before then. 😥 I knew this was coming, just didn't want to think about it.

[@janettemcclelland2959]

Me too. I broke into tears when Jim made the announcement last night. Jim is to Philly as Vin Scully is to Los Angeles. A national treasure.

[@philnaegely]

he extended twice longer than he originally thought he would so we are all blessed.

[@ThatGuyInPhilly]

@@philnaegely Very true!

[@janettemcclelland2959]

Jim Gardner. Cracking up the Action News team every night for 41 years.

[@Nicole215]

*Thank you for sharing this! I've been watching Jim Gardner and the team at Action News since I was a little girl. At 43 years young, I still enjoy watching them.*

[@thewhothewhatthenow]

So true,

[@jonacme]

I remember when Jim accidently said "Nightline is Next on Channel 6. Action News continues at 6am with Rob Jennings, Rick Williams, and Dave Roberts! Oops! [laughter!] I mean Monica Malpass, Rick Williams, and Dave Frankel. I'm thinking this is the weekend!"

When you are "Delaware Valley's Leading News Program" YOU CAN AFFORD A FEW JOLLIES!

[@cassc9241]

Not only they're Delaware Valley's Leading News Program, they're also Delaware Valley's funniest News Program

[@philaman1972]

This is great... I remember the late, great Jim O'Brian used to make Jim Gardner crack up laughing...

[@topofthecircle]

Holy God .... Jim Gardner trying to keep a straight face with all of those band names for the Jimmy Kimmel show. BHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[@rwboa22]

topofthecircle, it was never an issue when Nightline came on after the 11 o'clock broadcasts, because we went from Philly news to ABC News.

[@BobChessick]

Cecily did an interview with Jimmy Kimmel where she couldn't even finish bringing it up and he said "I know all about this! I sometimes think of Jim because I'm not much better at saying the names."

This is my news station, they’re so funny😂

[@biglou1315]

Today's date is 3/31/20 at the beginning really of this Shelter in place order and seeing familiar Philadelphia faces laughing, helps.. Thanks WPVI. Always classy and a delight to watch.

[@timwalker8107]

[@jbdixon4020]

1:45 only notorious J.I.M. can get away with this

[@gardensofthegods]

One of the few things I miss about Philly

[@ThatGuyInPhilly]

Jim just announced the Channel 6 (6ABC) 50th Anniversary book tonight. I have to pick this up. 6abc.com/entertainment/wpvi-action-news-celebrates-50-years-with-book-release-%7C-buy-now/5568223/

[@mikemike3886]

It’s great that I live near Philly so I get the greatest news station ever

[@topofthecircle]

Jeezy, Weezer, Yo Gotti, and Mondo Cosmo. These are such Ron Burgundy moments!

[@drewg.4487]

Jim literally does the thing Mike Birbiglia says everyone does when they have to pronounce his name for the first time.

[@traceyrodenbach5533]

Does anyone remember the silly things Jim O’Brien sometimes did for the closing music? I remember one night, he was talking about days of heavy rain coming and the danger of flooding- and when the cast ended and the camera pulled away, O’Brien was wearing hip waders under his jacket.

[@carlprutzman8517]

One thing I need to say, Jim Gardner IS....channel 6 news!!!,,,,

[@Grundig305]

Moved out west, boy do I miss action news. Jamie Apody, Jim, Cecily Adam.

[@magpieone9390]

Does any1 besides me remember the broadcast after Monday Night Football when the lightbulb popped?Jim jumped so high,the look on his face!

[@ThatGuyInPhilly]

Haha, I remember that. That darn thing exploded above him! 6ABC did a blooper real ...wow, 20 years ago maybe...could have been for the 50th anniversary of WPVI. The bulb incident was a part of that, lot of laughing - Jim O Brien, goof-ups. One clips of this old Action News that car caught fire on City Ave. - looked like from the early 80s (no one hurt) but it was on the side of the road - directly in front of NBC10 studios, so Channel 6 caught Channel 10 employees on the lawn clapping, laughing, applauding at that fail LOL. (Love that, at least Channel 6 can laugh at themselves) Another clip of Cecily dancing, it kind of reminded me of Seinfeld when Elaine attempted to "dance" in that one classic episode - very spazzy. Channel 6 needs to post that classic compilation back online.

[@magpieone9390]

@@ThatGuyInPhilly I agree!Especially since somehow, I missed it!!!

[@alexandrawilson1998]

I miss Jim Gardner he was fun it's still disappointing that he retired

[@bobchessick4282]

Did Jimmy Kimmel ever feature Jim Gardner's bloopers on his show? I suppose it'd have been funnier if Kimmel was doing his show in Philadelphia and could've had Gardner do a cameo (at the Kimmel Center no doubt).
