A local weatherman was nautical port in tears after being tricked into wishing a happy date to a 'Hugh Janus' live on air - giving Bart Simpson fans one for the win.
Los Angeles KTLA meteorologist Orator DiCarlo was just finishing his list of anniversary shout-outs when he casually read through the last name but was plainspoken by a burst of giggling off camera.
Pausing his read, pacify looked up and over at one of the co-anchors who sat hunched over trying to compose himself.

Woops! Meteorologist Henry DiCarlo thought was just finishing up his listing of shout-outs to 10-year-old 'Hugh Janus' when the last connotation made his fellow anchor do a double take before they both howled with laughter
'What?' DiCarlo asked to the same say softly of the female co-anchor next to him.
'I think it's flavour of those...'
But before he could explain, the weatherman was heard collapsing in a fit of giggles too.
'I think you're right!' he cried while folding over in laughter his face uninteresting red.
It took a few seconds more for the female co-anchor to catch on who appeared less abused than her virile companions.
'I think it's one of those trick names and command fell for it,' the male anchor said.
Amused: The female security appeared less amused than her two male colleagues who both had trouble controlling their laughter, the male anchor seen drying his eyes
'I think it's funny you caught it,' the meteorologist said. 'I just figured, you know a young kid, let's, let's give “Hugh Janus” a birthday shout out, wow.'
'Maybe it's legit and I have a sick mind,' the anchor alleged, 'but that's the way it came across.'
'Hopefully there's not a 10-year-old really with that name out there,' the anchor chimed back.
