Embarrassing sports announcer
One night in 2005, Ball State freshman Brian Collins filled in for an absent anchor on the local student news network. This ill-fated choice landed him at the peak of the embarrassing viral video hall of fame. According to an interview with ESPN, Brian was forced to deal with an inexperienced teleprompter operator and a paper transcript with its pages out of order. The result? Live on-air, Brian used his time to endure painfully uncomfortable 10+ second pauses, stuttering, and the infamous exclamation, "Boom goes the dynamite!" Brian explains that this line was something that he and his friends would say to make each other laugh while playing "Mario Cards." By now, his catchphrase has even found its way into the sports world. Occasionally it is used by ESPN sport announcers during recap shows such as SportsCenter. In the recent film, "Wanted," the line is spoken by Chris Pratt's character Barry. In an interview with CBS news, Brian says he would like to possibly pursue a career in Journalism, and has recently--albeit miraculously--scored a job as a local news anchor for KVVX-TV in Waco, Texas.
