The one where David Payne thinks we’re a leprechaun…
Mar 13
2013
It’s been a few months since David Payne left Channel 4 to be Gary England’s severe weather deity in waiting at Channel 9. So far, it doesn’t appear the new gig (and larger paycheck) has changed the guy. He’s still the same casual, laid back, chatty weatherman we’ve all grown to moderately enjoy. When May gets here, we fully expect him to drive into a tornado and end up in heaven or Oz.
If you need proof, check out this clip of him presenting the seven-day forecast on News 9 at 10:00pm. He yucks it up with Kelly and Amanda and suggests that we may be a computer animated leprechaun.
Wait. What?
From YouTube:
(Update: He did it again!)
To answer David’s question, yes, people still smoke things out of pipes. The catch is it’s usually not tobacco.
Anyway, I guess that’s pretty cool. We’ve been called plenty of things worse than a leprechaun. Hell, I consider it a compliment. I’m Irish, enjoy gold, and am a borderline alcoholic. I’m also the former roommate who picks out all the marshmallows in the box Lucky Charms. At least I think those things are marshmallows. I’m not sure.
Also, this isn’t the first time a Channel 9 weatherman has given us a shout out. Here are some other examples:

I’m an Okie now living in Chicagoland, and watching those videos just made me want to vacation back in Oklahoma during tornado season. I miss it!
I appreciate your honesty, but wanting to vacation back to OKC from Chicago land in May? Please tell me that you don’t have relatives in Ada that hide pistols/meth in unique places! Wrigley on a May afternoon/evening or OKC on a somewhat cloudy, windy day, where there are 872 weather interuptions that there might be a storm brewing and header our way from Nome Alaska………I want Wrigley, (I’d even take Comiskey, el train and all!)
Trust me In Jan. and Feb. you’d rather be in Okla than Chicago. Now March thru December Chicago wins! BTW, You want no part of US Cellular Field or the redline ride to get there.
While trying to figure out what kind of watch David was wearing, my eyes somehow strolled to his weather dong or is it a weather toe? Either way, he needs to get that thing under control.
Everyone knows that’s weather knuckle, not a weather toe.
He probably wears a Tornado Watch.
You guys need to find something better to do than staring at a near-middle age guy’s crotch.
When David Payne first started in this market he lived in the condo community I lived in and he was an unfriendly asshole that drove an Altima.
