Brad Pitt's stint as a weatherman has been cut short. While he stole the hearts of "Jim Jefferies Show" audiences, the actor is deemed not effective enough to deliver weather report on the show by host Jim Jefferies.
In the latest episode of his late-night show, Jefferies announced he had fired Pitt. "I know many of you are probably looking forward to our regular check-in with the 'Jim Jefferies Show' weatherman," he said. "Unfortunately, I didn't feel like he was effectively leading the weather desk."
"I'm so sorry. I fired him!" he said, prompting loud boo from the crowd. The comedian added, "He was a crazy! He was a real nutjob! Now that cloud has been lifted."
The scene then showed Pitt who watched the announcement from home, still wearing his weatherman suit. Holding a glass in one hand, he yelled, "Lies!" as Jefferies declared he's a lousy weatherman.
Brad Pitt first appeared as a weatherman on the show on June 6 to deliver a grim forecast following President Donald Trump's decision to pull America out of Paris climate change deal. He returned on June 13 to continue mocking Trump's move. "Carbon dioxide is slowing turning our planet into an uninhabitable wasteland, and half the population don't believe it," he said.

Jefferies recently appeared on "CONAN" and explained how he got Pitt as his weatherman. The funnyman said it was the "Moneyball" actor who contacted him first and Pitt was only paid $400 an episode for the stint.
