This goes back a long time---Frank Field was the weatherman on NBC in NYC and, it seems, that day one of the local papers questioned his meteorological background (saying he was an Optometrist --or something like that). He felt he had to tell the audience how he was insulted and threw such a fit that they escorted him--red faced and all--off the set.

The other thing was fairly benign---Al Roker (also doing weather at NBC) had his lens pop out of his glasses and he got quite upset and blustered a bit but at least that was a bit humorous.
