Best Television Personality
Marty Bass, WBAL-TV
Published: September 19, 2012
Typically in the painfully early morning hours, a few minutes at a time each day, we’ve logged a lot of time with our television friend Marty Bass—his eternally uncomfortable and awkward interactions with the furry-faced Don Scott; conversational and sometimes free-associating and non-meteorological weather forecasts; and our favorite, where Marty Bass shines, his patented, familiar, friendly, yet somehow at the same time bored-out-of-his-gourd and angry manner, which frequently mirrors the ennui of the celebrities and almost-celebrities and ain’t-never-gonna-be celebrities no-way, no-how, who are sitting in a satellite studio somewhere doing, three minutes at a time, hours and hours of promotional appearances with probably every morning television show in every market in America. We urge Marty to—if possible, after 25 years—relax even more while on camera and go full Howard Beale.
