Former WNBC Meteriologist passed away at 100

A pioneering former meteorologist and health reporter for WNBC, Dr Frank Field passed away on Saturday in Florida at the age of 100.

In 1958, Field started his career in New York at WNBC. When Johnny Carson felt that teasing “NBC’s crack meteorologist” would be amusing, he immediately gained national notoriety and started appearing frequently on “The Tonight Show.”

While sparring with the well-known comedian, Field somehow managed to keep his composure and demeanor. However, Field did occasionally strike back, such as when he pointed a prop pointer at a cut-out of Carson during his weather broadcast on the 11 o’clock news.
