Reporter expertly sneaks Eminem's Without Me into his weather reports
He might not be the real Slim Shady, but weatherman Adam Krueger has given the rapper a run for his money with this epic weather report.
Weather forecasts might not be the most riveting thing on TV, but one presenter has found a way to bring some entertainment to his segments.
Meteorologist Adam Krueger has been scattering musical references throughout his live broadcasts, which have been music to viewers' ears.
The TV personality-turned-influencer has even incorporated verses from Eminem’s ‘Without Me’ with hilarious results. Take a look:

Originally part of a forecast on CW’s 39 Houston station, the clip has since gone viral on TikTok with over 5.9 million views on the platform.
During the 55-second video, Krueger expertly weaves lyrics from the iconic Slim Shady track as he describes the soaring temperatures in and around the US city.
“Guess who’s back? Back again...” he coly tells the cameraman, adding: “Heat alerts are back, tell a friend.”
Whilst the revamped lyric might not have struck a chord with everyone watching at home, the weatherman quickly followed it up with another line from the rap.
Turning his attention to the incoming clouds, he cheekily said: “Well, if you want Shady, this is what I’ll give you.”
However, the TV personality wasn’t about to take his final curtain call (see what we did there), as he parodied Eminem’s clap back at the FFC.
Joking about the muggy forecast, Krueger told viewers: “The humidity won’t let me be, or let me be me, so let me see…”
In the next clip, he continues discussing the gathering storms and playfully jokes: “Get ready, 'cause this is about to get heavy.”
Understandably, the Houston presenter’s weather reports have been a huge hit with music lovers everywhere, especially on TikTok – where he shares the results and even takes requests.
One user in the comments gushed: “I’ve never watched the weather channel, but bro…you killed it and now I wanna watch everyday…”
Another agreed, asking why British weather reports were so boring by comparison and wrote: “Why can't our TV weather people do this in the UK…this is mint..”
Some fans even came up with suggestions ranging from Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ to Afroman’s ‘Because I got high’.
Yet, there was some concern about how the station might be reacting to Krueger’s on-screen antics, especially given the serious nature of some forecasts.
However, the TV weatherman eased his follower's fears and explained that the local news channel ‘encourages’ him to ‘do his thing’ whilst reporting.
He’s even changed his tune recently and begun to incorporate movie references in his live broadcasts as well.
Let’s hope UK meteorologists take note!
