It was reported on April 22, 2013, that a rookie news anchor by name A.J. Clemente was fired after he dropped the F-bomb on live TV at KFYR in Bismarck, North Dakota.
Reportedly Clemente started his very first news broadcast in Bismarck by saying “F*ckin sh*t” into the microphone, which was on. Just within 15 seconds.
His co-anchor immediately got involved and introduced him to the audience, “You may have seen our newest reporter A.J. on North Dakota News, and he’ll be joining the weekend news team as my co-anchor,” she said.

Clement was immediately suspended after the newscast. KFYR News Director Monica Hannan later said in a statement.
She said, "To all of you who are writing in…I want to apologise for an incident that occurred prior to our early newscast this evening, when one of our employees used profanity on the air.
"We can't take back what was said...All we can do at this point is ask for your forgiveness".
The embarrassed Clemente tweeted at the end of the show, “That couldn’t have gone any worse!”
