This was the first incarnation of a flashy, fast-paced newscast that Shepard Smith has since perfected.

Paula anchored the newscast until she became host of The Edge, at which point the slot was given to Shepard Smith.

This was accidentally broadcast on Studio B with Shepard Smith.

"I know the one and only reason I am here is because Shepard Smith was clearly not available"

Shepard Smith was interviewing people down by where the water stopped.

Shepard Smith stopped him and asked him what he was doing.

Shepard Smith seems to embrace that, and Anderson Cooper's show is old-school reflective, chew it over.

"Before the sun goes down tonight, our many, many weeks of waiting could be over," declared Shepard Smith on the Fox News Channel.

Shepard Smith soon apologized for the broadcast and vowed to never let it happen again.

And the host wasn't even Shepard Smith!
