Shepard Smith Seamlessly Transitions From Junk-Touching To A Car Chase

Shepard Smith was busy talking about one of his favorite new topics, junk-touching, when suddenly a car chase interrupted the conversation.

That’s right – the greatest Shepard Smith transition of all time took place this afternoon.

There was a brief moment where Shep was talking junk-touching while video of the chase played. “I feel badly for the TSA agents who showed up at work on a Monday who found out all of a sudden they were going to have to start touching people all over their bodies,” he said.

Then it was onto the chase: “Something we can agree on. Car chases are interesting and they are bad.”

As it turns out, it wasn’t much of a chase (while it was a chopper chase I guess). The police cut it short, the guy pulled into a parking space, strolled out of the car and entered a building. There was some confusion. We found out later it was probably just a case of shop-lifting, so the police abandoned the chase. But Shep and the chopper didn’t! You want some context? Said Shep:

I’ve been sitting here watching these things for a long time. As long as Fox News channel has been on the air. I have never…seen…this.

“Was this a police chase or were we just following a guy on his way to work in a hurry?” And scene.
