Back in early January, when Cincinnati received a nearly record-breaking 6.4 inches of snow, Local 12 anchor Bob Herzog became our fearless guide to the worsening weather conditions, making us cackle with every pun and joke he made while out in the elements. In a Reel that has now received millions of views, Herzog is seen outside of the Local 12 station, making snow angels, complaining about the snow and throwing a rubber chicken into a pile of snow to show just how much precipitation we received. Apart from providing essential updates on the snowy conditions, Herzog also proved that he could leave the news desk for a job as a comedian any day of the week.
