I-Caught is a new show on ABC that takes a behind-the-scenes look at the aftermath of popular videos. Tuesday, 9:00 p.m. (CST)
I-Caught, which airs over the next five weeks, "is a contextual journalistic magazine where the (Web) clip is just a jumping-off point. Then we look at who shot it, who posted it, what happened to them when they did, and what Internet fame means."
Tonight, Weir talks to a police officer who, during a chat to kids about gun safety, accidentally shot himself in the leg. Caught on video, which quickly spread across the Web, "he's fighting to get his name back and finding out just how impossible that is," Weir says.
He also talks to Merry Miller, a businesswoman whose flub during an ABC News tryout interview with actress Holly Hunter "has made her the laughingstock of the news business," Weir says. "She is absolutely devastated and trying to put a brave face on, but it takes on a life of its own."
