'The Early Show' Gets "The Bad Situation" to Cover the Weather (VIDEO)

Apparently this whole 'Jersey Shore' situation is contagious. Over on 'The Early Show' (Weekdays, 7AM on CBS), weatherman Dave Price was inexplicably replaced by a new character he dubbed 'The Bad Situation.'

Co-anchor Maggie Rodriguez suggested 'The Muffin Top' instead, which wasn't very nice. But once she said it, we couldn't help but notice that Price was sporting a slight one in that tucked in white t-shirt.

Before he got down to the business of the weather, apparently 'The Bad Situation' got stood up. He sauntered over to a senior citizen fan nearby. "I call you Saturday night. I buy you a rose. I wait. We're gonna go out. You don't call me back. What's that all about?" he asked her.

The woman had clearly had to let guys down gently before, because she was quick with her response. "I lost my phone," she said. Price then went on to try and give the weather in character. The whole thing was rather silly, but certainly made for a memorable forecast.
