Chuck Norris Hard Hitting Reporter? - Footage Included

January 30th 2007 23:02
Fun with Chuck


Chuck Norris
Walker Texas Deity?
Last night after a hard days work, I kicked back and watched Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. Along with the usual shenanigans, I caught a glimpse of something quite disturbing.

No not george Bush' state of the union address, instead it seems that the ever impartial Fox News Network has decided that when newscasters Sean Hannity is away the only man to call is Lone Wolf Chuck Norris.

Known the world over for his hard hitting editorials, knowledge of world events and gritty, no holes barred journalistic style the 6 times world karate champ is an obvious choice, isn’t he?

Missing in Action, the hairy chested Korean veteran is always ripe for parody but it seems that on Fox they take him seriously, more than that, they value his opinion.

Maybe the combination of Mr got-his-ass-kicked-by-Bruce-lee being a Republican, a Bush campaigner and a member of the NRA is what qualifies him for the role.

Perhaps it’s his conservative column on www.worldnetdaily.com/ where amongst other things he says that evolution does not exist and true patriots should not support separation of Church and state, now that sounds like Fox news to me.


Serving the networks credibility, (I use the word loosely) a swift roundhouse to the face its ironic that even executives have so little self respect left they accept we only tune in for laughs and not information.

Chuck Norris
Do I look like Im joking about Iraq?
Pounding a series of body blows to the egos of the trained journalists, (again tongue in cheek) at Fox, John Doe wonders what they think of being replaced by a man who speaks with his fists and starred in Sidekicks and Top Dog.

Bringing new meaning to the word “Celebrity news” what’s next, Pauly Shore covering the presidential race, Paris Hilton tackling the world hunger and a special week long series featuring Britney Spears discussing the energy crisis?

Still for all that this says about the state of objective journalism, I cant help but laugh at the ludicrous nature of it, sometimes life is funnier than fantasy.


Click below to see Chuck Norris, news man…no this was not a skit on Saturday Night Live, it really happened.



Chuck is so much fun I thought I would also share a couple of less psychologically horrifying clips that had me laughing os hard it felt like I’d just received a patented jab to the guts.

Click below to see Chuck read his top 10 Facts from that famous website…




A classic Conan O Brien moment, meet the Walker Texas Ranger lever….



Chuck Norris in Karate Commandos Cartoon, even hand drawn that moustache should be registered as a Lethal Weapon.

great stuff!

I bet Fox picked him up because of his recent popularity on the Internet...

It caught me completly off gaurd...I actually thought it was a joke until I found the clip....your guess is as good as mine when it comes to the question of Why this happened.

The top 10 Chuck facts had me rolling and I still remember losing it at Conan O Brien the first time he used the Chuck lever.

Happy to amuse with a somewhat lazy post...

I just about fell off my chair when I was flicking through the channels and came across Chuck in for Shaun.

I love those Walker clips, the Aids one with Haley Joel Osment is so awful that it comes right back around to being hilarious.

Those clips are fantastic!!

I know that Fox aren't even pretending to do real news anymore....but do they have to be so obvious about it? I love Chuck's questions to that kid. Hmmm....could you tell Chuck's views on whether Iraq is better without Saddam? hehe.

Those Conan O'Brien clips were hilarious.

I haven't laughed that hard in a while!

Hi Nina,
I dont think I could have handled seeing Chuck report on Iraq first hand...it was surreal enough seeing the snippet on Jon Stewart.

Totally with you on the Haley Joel Osmond "You have Aids" moment...the height of bad taste but Chucks deadpan delivery turns it into high comedy.

Also gotta love the nonchalant style with which he backhands that woman in the face....

Hi KylieW,

LOL, at the view on a post saddam Iraq, Chuck seems to refuse to accept the situation is worse since the US invaded......love his "When I visited Iraq recently" bit....you cant help but imagine him getting up to some Missing In Action style hijinks over there.

Glad to entertain....



Fun Chuck Fact 1 billion:
Chuck wanted to be a suicide bomber but his unbreakable torso makes him Impervious to bullets, nitro glycerine and plastic explosives

oh my stomach is in pain at the comedy genius that is chuck norris! agree with the sentiments of everyone here that conan lever was pure gold.

i actually had no idea he was on fox because i don't make a habit of visiting that channel but i might give it a whirl just to see norris' hard hitting journalism!

Every talk show should have a Walker Texas ranger lever, just in case they ever get dull.

When tuning into fox it is important to remember it is an off shoot of the comedy channel, it just doesnt know it.

Glad to give you a laugh..hey I just thought, what if Chuck Norris runs for governor of Texas, then we could see an Arnie vs Norris death match instead of political debate.


I thought I would put up a link for people to check out your site ..click here to read Lukes review of
Missing In Action

Click here to read his review of Extreme Predjudice-but chuck norris isnt in that one its Nick Nolte..kick ass Walter Hill film though, love the opening 15 minute homage to the Dirty Dozen.

Comment by Luke

February 1st 2007 18:57
