Only two types of people can get away with this: 1. Rookies 2. Absolute legends

[@michaelgualtieri651]

Jim just aired his final news cast tonight. I like to think that this was one of his best moments. The news just won't be the same without old Jim.

[@shafichowdhury2315]

This moment never gets old! The earring falling off. Then on air, Jim walks from behind Cecily and she laughs! Love it!

[@JosephPratt1986]

This is too funny! Jim Gardner is both a serious and a funny person on TV!

[@RedCard94]

Lol Jim just comes out of nowhere nonchalantly

[@shafichowdhury2315]

I saw this moment of cecily’s earring malfunction 2 days ago when Jim gardner signed off from the 11pm news for the last time! It was hilarious, but emotional that Jim is retiring! Best memory ever

[@vanillagorilla8236]

Other teams try and look like they like each other, Action News has Always seemed very tight and like they are having fun.

[@OldsVistaCruiser]

I think that Cecily lost more than her earring that night! When Jim walked behind her, she "lost it" laughing!!

[@The333]

Amazingly, I am 54 now and I grew up with Jim Gardner. He's been on every TV every different place I have lived - college dorm rooms, first apartment, first home. He's been on during holidays, world events, national tragedies. I always will remember him with Jim O'Brien, Gary Papa and Dave Roberts - they were like trusted neighbors and family. Thanks for always being there for us, Jim. Awesome career.

[@JP5466]

I remember when O'Brien died. The whole neighborhood was in shock. Terrible loss to Philly.

[@stacythomas7162]

Jim and Cecily are together a class act.

[@89horizon]

Even better that the green in his tie got chroma keyed xD

[@leeslove1999]

Awwwwwwwww Jim is a gentleman, I've had a crush on him since I was in the 8th grade I'm a grown woman now,not saying my age.

[@chrisfields2014]

Nope he’s still on action news he’s been on for 45 years now

[@Code1Lyoko]

And as of today he’s the only one left to be on action news since the 60’s and 70’s

[@shafichowdhury2315]

Jim Gardner announced his retirement last night 11/10 😢. Retiring at end of 2022

[@rwboa22]

@@shafichowdhury2315 Jim's last broadcast will be this upcoming Wednesday (12/21/2022). He left the 11 PM broadcast nearly a year ago and it's now anchored by Rick Williams (who does the 5 PM broadcasts, the slot once held by veterans Marc Howard and Lisa Thomas-Laurey). Brian Taff will take over the 6 PM broadcast and will still do the 4 PM broadcasts.

[@suzukimiho3372]

It's so nice of him to look for her ear-ring.

[@Ironman875]

Did anyone noticed his see-through tie after retrieving her earring at 0:28? Parts of his tie was green.

[@shafichowdhury2315]

Just saw it!!! OMG! The tie actually sparkled!

[@miaquintomj]

I remember watching this. I was cracking up. Lol

[@barfbagtpot9928]

I saw this moment on live TV

[@rwboa22]

I did too. Looked like something that would be in "Anchorman," but without the Ron Burgundy one-liners.

[@OldsVistaCruiser]

@@rwboa22 - In Jim's early days, he could have been Ron Burgundy's double!

[@rwboa22]

@@OldsVistaCruiser the rumor was that Adam McKay based the appearance of Ron Burgundy off of the younger Jim Gardner although in reality, Burgundy's appearance is based off of a local San Diego news anchor (in which the movie was based in).

[@shafichowdhury2315]

I have a comment to add on 0:23, Jim Gardner creeping from behind Cecily as she is doing her weather report, and Jim probably was going to say… oh are we on air & live? Hi… hello there! Hahaha

[@jaredjlinden]

LOL. These are the types of things you can do when you feel confident in your job security. Bravo, Jim.

[@shafichowdhury2315]

I am sure he is rewinding this classy moment of his career when he did lots of hilarious moments of his time on TV!

[@davidsutton9117]

Jim would never have done this 20, 30, 40 years earlier. No, it took Jim “Fucking” Gardner to do this! 😂

[@kennethrembert1980]

I want to wish anchor Jim Gardner a happy retirement to you from 6abc Action News after 46 years on the air, but I was born on January 3, 1980 in New York City (Manhattan), that is

[@rwboa22]

Jim was originally from NYC and graduated from Columbia University in 1970, working for 1010 WINS before going to Buffalo (which later gave to Channel 6 from 1976 on, besides Jim Gardner, David Boreanaz, Sr., which he went by the name of Dave Thomas in Buffalo and Dave Roberts in Philly).

Only jim could get away with that (maybe Rick Williams)

[@rwboa22]

Rick Williams would definitely get away with it, as he showed that humorous side when he did the morning newscasts with Monica Malpass many years ago (and Cecily was getting her start at WPVI-TV as well after Dave Frankel left for KYW-TV and eventually law school).
