There are a lot of people out there with unfortunate sounding names, and plenty of them work in local news, apparently. Watch Jimmy Kimmel salute those oddly-monikered newscasters below.

In pure adolescent humor, Kimmel and his team gathered tons of names that either sound like parts of the human anatomy and bodily functions, or coincidentally just sound unusual. Martie Salt of ABC affiliate WFTV, for instance, sounds oddly close to Morton Salt; or the nearly double-named David Davis of KUSI's Good Morning San Diego.

Perhaps the most egregious is WBAL-TV's Gerry Sandusky, who sadly shares his name with former Penn State coach, and convicted child molester, Jerry Sandusky.

Jimmy Kimmel Live! airs weeknights at 11:35|10:35c on ABC.
