Thanks to his successful career, Ernie has received around 30 Emmy Award- nominations and several other awards, including the Edward R. Murrow Award for excellence in writing.
However, aside from good things, Ernie had several gaffes while live, which includes saying “It takes a tough man to make a tender forecast, Nick. Keep fucking that chicken”, to meteorologist, Nick Gregory.
