The news either got this completely wrong and forgot to input the guy's real first name and last name, or this guy is a living Laurel and Hardy routine. Those are the guys who did the "Who's on first?" bit. "What's your last name, sir?" / "It's lastname." / "That's what I said. Last name." / "Correct." / "So, what is it?" / "What is what?" / "Your last name?" / "That's it." It can go on for hours! I love a good joke like that.
I used to work for my college's news program as a cameraman and there would be a guy whose job it was to do all the graphics, just like this. Who was this guy? He was the head of the program. They couldn't trust the job to a college student because then things like this happen.
