Shirtless Man Asks Out Anchor During Massive Fire


A shirtless man holding a dog asked KTLA anchor Courtney Friel out on a date while she was reporting live from the scene of a massive fire near Rancho Cucamonga. As you can imagine, Friel was not amused.

When Friel approaches the man to get his reaction to the fire, he doesn't say what she expected. Instead, he asked her out. "Wow. You're super pretty. Want to go on a date sometime?"

Friel seemed annoyed and told him that they were currently live on air. She definitely wasn't in the mood for antics, and struggled just to keep things together as wind whipped her face.

The man, on the other hand, seemed oblivious to both the cameras and the wind-driven fires raging just behind them. Friel tried to turn things around, asking him how he was reacting to the situation. "Do you live in one of these houses? Are you evacuating?," she asked.

"I live down the street, I was just checking out the fire," the man said of the blaze which reportedly ravaged 800 acres on Wednesday. When asked by Friel what he thought of the fire, the man said, "It's pretty cool."

After the odd encounter, Friel seemed a bit off her game -- but can you blame her?
