Paul Henry may be gone from our screens, but his hysterical laugh and sarcastic sense of humour is going to live on forever.
Henry and his team appear frequently in the year's best live TV bloopers, the annual video compiled by local news watcher Dan News which debuts today.
The freelance journalist has compiled 10 minutes of footage from New Zealand and around the world to showcase the biggest news fails of the past year.

Henry's classic moments include him snorting while co-presenter Verity Johnson suggests his fans could urinate into a mug bearing his face, and calling Black Beauty, his favourite film, "Black Booty".
TVNZ 1 presenters didn't escape unscathed, with former Breakfast host Rawdon Christie delivering a few faux pas - including dropping his sound equipment onto the studio floor.
It may be one of the oldest television news services in the world, but the BBC isn't immune to bloopers. From laughing weather presenters to one newsreader's unfortunate use of the word "fags", there are plenty of highlights provided by the British broadcasting service.
Speaking to Newshub, Dan News, otherwise known as Dan Lake, said he enjoyed making viewers of his compilations "laugh".
"I've never made a cent. It's about providing a laugh for the audience," he said.
In a perhaps shocking omission, there was no appearance of Paul Henry and Hilary Barry's hysterics after hearing the term, "emergency defecation situation," used for the first time.
However, Barry's fans still get a few moments of her trademark hilarity, including her surprise as she discovers Avatar is getting four sequels.
