The rookie reporter who uttered "f-cking sh-t" during his very first broadcast hasn't turned the blunder into a windfall. Unlike other Internet celebrities (meaning you, Sweet Brown) A.J. Clemente's short-lived fame didn't extend to overexposure, or another reporting job.
Clemente moved out of North Dakota to return to his home state of Delaware, and works at a bar. "This is what I'm doing for now — I definitely need to make money for bills,” he explained.
The 24-year-old is now employed at the newly opened Table and Taproom restaurant in Dewey Beach. He plans to continue working in the eatery's bar through the summer, before sending out his resume to TV companies. For now, Clemente reportedly earns up to $5 an hour, plus tips, but said that he's received several job offers.
Last month the neophyte was sitting alongside his new co-anchor when the embarrassing blunder escaped his lips. Shortly after introduction, Clemente immediately let out the curse words, startling his co-worker who tried to get the broadcast back on track.
He was fired a day later.
