Tom Hanks Does The Weather While Dancing On Univision’s Morning Show, Despierta America

video
» 26 comments

Can you be a good guest on a network morning show if you don’t really speak the language? Tom Hanks gave it a stellar effort on Univision’s Despierta America, gamely pretending to know what was going on, catching the words in Spanish he did know, and then jumping at a chance to help do the weather, which has become something of a movie-star-on-news-show cliche. But in Spanish, hey, it felt fresh–especially when Hanks wisely asked for music and began dancing.

Beyond that, we can tell you Despierta America is a fun program to watch even if you don’t speak Spanish, and the weather in Atlanta yesterday was sunny and hot, hitting a high of 96 degrees. Oh, and Tom Hanks has some kind of movie coming out or something.

Here it is, from Univision. Enjoy:

  • Just4thefax

    Fact: That’s Forrest Gump Flirting with the weather babe. Who is Tom Hank?

  • Dave Splash

    Where are all the right wing haters? This was a Spanish language channel. Hanks must hate America if he tolerates Spanish being spoken in his presence.

  • Nationman

    Fact: Patriots don’t hate Spanish people just want to correct the flow of illegal aliens of all cultures.

    Fact: Well he is a liberal like you. Just plain missed the boat on political matters.

  • Azarkhan

    This is the idiocy that pervades the left. It’s not the fact that many people here are of Hispanic heritage (and I married one). It’s the fact that many on the left seem to think that we shouldn’t have any borders, and that anyone/everyone should just waltz in when they want without any kind of process. Oh yeah, and then when here, avail themselves of our health system and other resources while we foot the bill for it. It’s unsustainable. But hey, who cares? It’s only money, right? Make the RICH people pay! Such nonsense…

    The irony is that if you’re an illegal alien IN Mexico who came in via the southern border, you’d be in some serious doo doo if caught.

    Now, as to the video, I will say this:

    La chica del tiempo es muy caliente!

    Ah, c’mon now… I’m a lefty myself, but the waiting for right wing haters thing is just trolling.

    It’s funny, Tom showed some good spirit, and Da Truth is 100% correct… that lady’s so hot she made the electricity flicker. Yow!

    Fact: Patriots don’t hate Spanish people just want to correct the flow of illegal aliens of all cultures.

    FACT: There is very little, if any, immigration from Spain to the US. Saving and excepting the immigrants who make up Michelle-in-Utah’s son’s “Spanish” soccer team.

    Looks like Tom had great fun doing this. Good for him. Fun to watch. Good for us.

  • remoriah

    To David Splash:

    I’ve always like Hanks even though I am a fiscal conservative. Do you have a problem with that?

    Hanks has totally lost his mind. TOTALLY, that is.

  • http://none pyrope

    I have “castaway” all my interest in Tom Hanks.

    He is a leftist. Why, we can’t say it? There’s that double standard again–only the left can say anything. How about getting over yourselves. There’s always going to be left, right, and everything in between.

  • Letsssgooo

    Just having a good time….Living the good life!!

  • Nkulina

    Aparently Tom Hanks wants to run for President one day and he is trying to get the latino vote. Trust me this is the plan.

  • Lbatchelor2009

    You’re an idiot!
