Kiss' Gene Simmons Crashes Local L.A. Weather Report, Says Weather Is Perfect ‘To Rock and Roll All Night'
A Los Angeles news station got a dose of star power when Gene Simmons crashed a local weather report. On Thursday, the legendary Kiss vocalist and bassist made an unexpected appearance on Fox 11 Los Angeles, joining meteorologist Adam Kruger to help deliver the week's forecast. 'You look much better in real life than you do on TV,' Simmons quipped to Krueger. When Krueger assured Simmons he looks good in both, Simmons (decked out in sunglasses and leather pants) joked: 'I know that.'

'This weekend it's looking pretty good if people want to rock and roll all night,' Krueger said, a nod to the 1975 track 'Rock and Roll All Nite.' Simmons continued the bit, finishing the lyric and advising that viewers 'should probably party every day.' 'The weatherman approached me and asked me if I wanted to jump on and do the weather,' Simmons told Entertainment Weekly about appearing in the segment. 'Of course! But I told him, 'Hold onto your britches. I'm not your usual weatherman. Weather advisory is in order.'' The impromptu weather report isn't the first time Simmons has appeared on local Los Angeles news: the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer has previously helped Los Angeles' KTLA 5 deliver a weather forecast, during which he encouraged viewers to 'Kiss somebody. The mailman, your beautiful wife — kiss the dog, kiss life.'
