Thanks Ollie!

The weather here in New Orleans is hot - not just a bit hot, but ridiculously, relentlessly hot. However, one upside of this is that the other day I watched a weather report which featured a dishevelled looking man wafting himself with a piece of paper in front of a weather map and just saying 'It's HOT, New Orleans - have you been outside? There's no rain, it's just really hot!' much in the style of Ollie the weatherman on Family Guy, making me wonder whether that is just a comedy construct, or whether this is common enough as a format for weather reports that it's actually a pastiche.
