Funny clip will air on ‘Funniest Videos’
AUSTINTOWN
A video clip of Carlie DiRenzo, 7, the daughter of Michelle and Bill DiRenzo of Austintown, will air on “America’s Funniest Videos” at 7 p.m. Sunday on ABC. Titled “The Weather Girl Has To Go Potty,” the video was shot and submitted in 2008, when Carlie was 3. In the video, the youngster pretends that she is giving the weather report, when she starts teetering. While trying her best to look professional, she soon runs off to the bathroom. Carlie is a student at Immaculate Heart of Mary-St. Joseph’s School in Austintown.
