Last night on the WNBC eleven o'clock telecast, Monica Morales was doing a standup in front of The Falls, reporting on the brutal rape and murder of Imette St. Guillen. That's when Happy Gilmore here decided to go for his 15 milliseconds of fame-- throwing up the horns and screaming. He managed to get about halfway into the frame when the quick thinking cameraman panned up to the awning of the bar. We're always willing to give props to citizens who insert themselves in the background of local news shots-- what's more New York than yelling "hey, mom, I'm on the news"? Still, this was in poor taste. Screwing with Al Roker is one thing-- but interrupting a report on something like this? Definitely uncool.

One more picture after the jump, in case you want to ID the perp.
