Philadelphia anchor Mike Jerrick actually held a moment of silence for Hooters during a live television broadcast, and he did not stop there.
According to widespread reports, the popular restaurant chain is likely going under, much to the disappointment of many people, including Jerrick, who paid his respects during a live FOX29 broadcast this week.
Jerrick asked for a moment of silence and got everyone to keep quiet for several seconds before saying, “Hooters is closing.”
His co-host, Alex Colley, who was left confused following the request, burst into laughter before going on to say that she loved the wings.
“The wings?” Jerrick asked.
“What else would it be?” she inquired.
“Just wanna keep you abreast,” he replied in an obvious pun.

Hooters Could Soon Be A Thing Of The Past
Hooters has been one of the more popular restaurants in the United States for a long time.
The chain opened up in 1983 and is famous for its menu, which includes hamburgers, sandwiches, steaks, seafood entrees, appetizers, and, of course, chicken wings.
While the food is great, the company’s scantily clad waitresses have always been the main attraction, which is why lots of people are sad to see it go.
It’s not clear whether all of the locations will shut down amid reports of bankruptcy, but Jerrick should be keeping an eye on them.

The Philly reporters also went viral last month after heading to New Orleans for the Super Bowl, with Mike getting caught coming out of a certain establishment with three women and plenty of beads around his neck at 5:00 in the morning.
It appears he can’t be stopped.
