Wait a second... they never even claimed to have auditioned him and discovered he couldn't actually yo-yo?  They just put him on air on the basis of somebody vouching for him?

And they want us to feel sorry for them?

More power to the hoaxter.  If these guys can't vet their yo-yo segments, how are we supposed to trust them to vet their news sources?   He did a public service by exposing their lack of professionalism.
