The NBC affiliate released a statement that Clemente was suspended following the slip up in his first broadcast on Sunday. General manager Dick Heidt said he can't discuss the incident because it's a personnel matter. While the rookie TV anchor is fresh out of a job, he posted his feelings on Twitter stating that he has to "stay positive."
Rookie mistake. I'm a free agent.Cant help but laugh at myself and stay positive.Wish i didnt trip over my "Freaking Shoes" out of the gate.

Immediately after the broadcast, Clemente wrote "That couldn't have gone any worse!" What do you guys think of the West Virginia grad's gaffe?
