After two months of waiting my appearance on Comedy Central’s Tosh.0 aired Tuesday night.

I was originally very concerned about the appearance on the show but I think it turned out okay.

It was shot at the Tennis Channel Network in Los Angeles back in March.

I hope you enjoyed it.

The appearance was the result of my infamous Youtube appearance which has had over 10 million hits on the internet.

Tell me what you think about the Web Redemption on Tosh!

Fired Rice University Police Officer David Sedmak

The Houston Police Officers Union continues its fight to help a fired Rice University officer get his job back.
David Sedmak was let go after leaving his post to help a Houston police officer who had been shot.
On Monday morning, the officers union held a news conference and played an audio tape that proves the Houston Police Department officer was in serious need of help.
School officials claim Sedmak was not let go because he helped a fellow officer but rather because he left his post and did not tell his supervisor where he was.
—————-

FOX 26 News received the following statement from a Rice University spokesman:
As a matter of policy, Rice University does not comment on personnel matters. However, out of respect for the Houston Police Department, we want to clarify that David Sedmak was terminated from the Rice University Police Department for dereliction of duty. Sedmak left his post when only two other officers were on duty and failed to notify his supervisor of his whereabouts for nearly an hour, which could have endangered the safety of our students and campus.

On a case-by-case basis:
The Rice University Police Department (RUPD) frequently assists police and other emergency response agencies in neighborhoods near the campus. They include police departments from Houston, West University Place, Southampton, Bellaire and the Texas Medical Center, and the Houston Fire Department. RUPD also conducts cross-training with some of these adjacent agencies.

In the first five months of 2011, RUPD responded 37 times to calls for help from these external agencies. In addition, RUPD officers who are patrolling the perimeter area around campus may happen on a crime in progress or another officer who needs assistance. In those cases, Rice officers will take action and then turn the scene over to the agency with jurisdiction. In all instances, Rice officers are required to promptly notify the RUPD dispatcher of their location and the situation, and they have portable radios and mobile radios in their police vehicles for that purpose. All radio transmissions are recorded, logged and monitored by the Rice police sergeant on duty. This enables the sergeant to monitor the situation to ensure that the officer is safe when responding to calls off campus, and also to ensure that enough officers are on duty on campus to protect the safety of our students and employees.

CONGRESSMAN WEINER ADMITS TO SENDING INAPPROPRIATE TWEETS!

Congratulations to former FOX 26 reporter Duarte Geraldino. Duarte is now a reporter with CBS News based out of New York.

Duarte will not only provide reports for local affiliates of CBS around the country but serve as a contributor to the network as well.

Geraldino has already been spotted on the network covering various events including the high profile arrest of Dominique Strauss-Khan in New York.

This is a major accomplishment for Duarte, who not only works for a major network but he gets to move back home to New York City.

Duarte has traveled the country working in various markets including Baltimore, Houston, and Dallas.

The Insite spoke with the Emmy nominated reporter today and he says he’s glad to be back home and he’s loving the new gig.

Way to go Duarte!
