Too funny... There have been a few times where weather people in my area have forgotten and worn a green striped tie, or something with green in it and they've become transparent. Happens a lot on St. Patrick's Day.

Good old Chroma Key....remember see it first in the early 80's during a local NBC affiliate TV station news broadcast...

Bleeding edge stuff in those days.

My favorite part is the guy not knowing why you aren't "seeing through" her when he goes behind her.

Clearly none of the on-TV personalities actually know how the green screen color-video-substitution thing works OR else he wouldn't be surprised that you couldn't see him standing behind her.

They just made use of this exact concept (someone wearing green in front of a chroma-key background) for a comedy bit on "The Daily Show" on Wednesday night...

That was a funny bit on The Daily Show, especially when Kristen Schaal forgot to reposition her head ... twice! :lol:
