The Funny or Die connection is especially unfortunate, given the clip’s subject matter. HuffPo Comedy’s post, entitled “News Anchor Can’t Stop Laughing While Describing A Gruesome Murder,” had little information on the clip that wasn’t included in the headline. While the clip is darkly funny, it made me want to find out the story behind it. Now, the laughing anchor responds!
