  • A Mike Mahoney story went national for all the wrong reasons.

KMBC reporter Micheal Mahoney's comb-over recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

A substantive reporter betrayed by a poor grooming choice, Mahoney was filming a live shot when a gust of wind unmoored the strands of hair he uses to cover a portion of his scalp. The footage of the comb-over reaching for the sky was humiliating enough for Kimmel to use it in his monologue on July 21. After playing the incident for laughs, the host advised Mahoney and other comb-overers to embrace their baldness. The segment appears after the jump.

Mahoney is a good guy I will admit, but this is funny as hell. I mean, seriously, Mike, drop the comb over, embrace your baldness baby!

Mike Mahoney is an excellent reporter,with a
pleasant,professional style, who makes a real contribution to this city. Jimmey Kimmel is an egotistical jerk who makes a living by trying to be funny on TV. Privately Mahoney is known to have a dry witt and a good sense of humor. I suspect the video gave him a good laugh. Keep up the good work Michael,I think you're the best reporter on the K.C. scene, and one of the most accurate

And there is no jump and there is no video and no picture. Lame.

I tried to find the video where a pack of matches ignite in his pocket while he's doing a live shot. He described it on prime buzz a few years ago. I'm betting Mahoney thought the whole Kimmel thing was hilarious, in his own grumpy way.
