These Might Just Be The Most Hilarious TV Bloopers Ever
Have you ever been watching the television only to see something that looks like it was not part of the script? Or have you tuned in to your favorite news channel to find the news anchor staring into space or doing something totally off-key? These moments range from funny to ridiculous to downright embarrassing, and they certainly don’t happen very often.
It would interest you to know that such incidents are not as rare as you might think, though, and some of them will have your jaws dropping. Read on, and try not to laugh too hard as we tell you about these hilarious TV bloopers.
We Want To Be Part of The Show, Dad!
There was a lot of cuteness overload when Lonnie Quinn’s daughters decided to join him for his live weather forecast. People had to work from home due to the global health crisis in 2020, including reporters.
On this day, Quinn’s daughters decided to say “hi” while their dad was on live TV. He said he had thought the segment was a disaster but soon realized that was just the kind of relief people needed in such trying times. The cute moment became a commercial for WCBS and also made its way to CBS “This Morning.”
Quite The Health Scare
Health scares are not at all uncommon, even for reporters who seem to have everything under control. This was the case for CNN reporter Poppy Harlow who fainted briefly during a live broadcast of the news. Viewers were stunned when she began slurring her words and was gasping for air while reading the news.
The pregnant reporter later told viewers that she was doing okay, and the incident was a result of the heat. Later that year, she gave updates on her pregnancy and said the baby was doing okay as well. She still reports for CNN and is based at their New York news bureau.
Got To Layer Up
Liberte Chan once again had quite the blooper moment when she was interrupted during a weather report and told to “cover-up” by her colleague. Chan’s wardrobe of choice during the Monday morning news, a little sparkly black dress, had some viewers disheveled. A not-so-flattering sweater was put into the frame as she was asked to cover up and only continued with the weather report once she was done.
The moment sparked a lot of controversy as to whether the broadcast station, KTLA, policed the wardrobe of female reporters more than their male counterparts. Statements were released by Chan and the network stating that it was all a joke.
Bullseye!
An unexpected hit came for seasoned sports reporter Charissa Thompson. It is said that reporters are prepared for anything, but we doubt if that was true for Thompson. While working at SportsNation, the sports anchor shared behind-the-scenes footage of her getting hit right in the eye with a paper ball. We wonder how it would look if it was a live broadcast.
The footage was released before she left the network, probably as a way of reminiscing about the funny moments she had while working there. The sportscaster can be seen giving sports updates on Fox Sports.
