After proclaiming today “Hug an Anchor Day,” Fox & Friends co-anchor Clayton Morris got more than he bargained for. Having failed to procure hugs in a hastily constructed streetside “hugging booth” with Dave Briggs and meteorologist Rick Reichmuth, Clayton asked three non-F&F males for a hug and was summarily rejected. When Dave received one from a game lady, Clayton tried his hand once again.
Clowning, Clayton crossed the road and solicited one from a walking young man. The gent opened his arms wide and embraced him quite willingly to the applause of Dave and Rick. However, as Clayton turned around and clenched his fist triumphantly, the playful chap grabbed Clayton buttocks with both hands. Clayton smiled and said, “I think I just got, I think I just got groped.”
Dave declared, “That’s not scripted television: You [Clayton] were harrassed. Aly, we need your help out here.” As Rick bent over in laughter, a now ruddy Aly chuckled and shook her head. Then she replied, “No, you guys are doing just fine without me: I’ve actually never seen people running from midtown Manhattan in droves like this before.”
Definitely, an F&F moment.

In fact, after the “fit-for-tv” footage ran, co-host Clayton Morris declared, “Rick’s favorite moment was cut out of it which was the “Hug a Newsman Day.” (Carpe Diem readers may remember it as “Grope an Anchor Day.”) […]
