CBS fed its new evening news anchor to the proverbial wolves by forcing Tony Dokoupil to beg commuting New Yorkers to try and say his name.
The 45-year-old Dokoupil attempted to get travellers in the Big Apple’s iconic Grand Central Station to pronounce his name in an awkward social media video posted to the CBS Evening News X account on Wednesday.
Holding a paper with his name written on it, Dokoupil asks scores of disinterested commuters how they’d pronounce “Dokoupil.” Various New Yorkers read it as “Da-koo-puhl” and “Da-koo-peel” before Dokoupil gives them the proper pronunciation (which is “Da-koe-puhl”).
