The Newsroom S2 Ep1- Will McAvoy singing Friday and Control Room screw up

The scene where the control room (for some reason) goes kaputt and it's hilariously interlaced with Will McAvoy singing Rebecca Black's Friday
All Credit to Aaron Sorkin, Jeff Daniels, whoever else is in the credits, and HBO and I think Rebecca Black for the song

CHARLIE: Send whoever you want to punish.
(Will walks past the pair STILL singing 'Friday' under his breath)
MAC: (pointing at Will) Can I...?
CHARLIE: (cuts her off) NO!
LMFAO!

That's what I like in this show: it's amazingly rich in details and very accurate. Kudos Sorkin.

Best 21th Century reference in a show

It's trippy watching this now because of how similar it is to my job.
Am I a newsreader? No. I'm a voiceover guy for a company called betfred. There's 3 other people in the room with me when I'm behind a microphone and sometimes shit goes sideways. And hard. We've had to pull the broadcast back from the fire on a few occasions but we did because we know how to work as a team.

one of the best moments from the episode

Never heard of the song he is singing, but I love this show, and this moment.

[@stephenbruce1548]

Then be glad you didn't. Cause it is the worst song ever.

[@KasbashPlays]

The song that broke UA-cam in 2011? No?

[@alexislee262]

I miss the show so muchh

[@triosss3633]

me too. I discovered it about two months ago. Went thru three seasons in three weeks. The best show that has ever been on television!

[@mrmcclear]

Awesome...

[@catherinewilliams9680]

Jeff Daniels sings this song so much better than Rebecca Black

[@Shorty_Lickens]

How much was he allowed to sing before they had to pay for it?

[@louisehine1]

I still don't know how on earth this character would know that song?

[@j.james.s.2412]

Yeah the only explanation I can figure is simply he's a mind for music. To go from Van Morrison to Rebecca Black is jarring to say the least

[@RaptorDad]

Anyone know the name of the song he is singing?

[@DisgustedBatman]

+F22coleman Friday by Rebecca Black. It's pretty awful.

[@ethandalton6480]
