These TV News Bloopers Were Caught On Camera And Will Go Down In History
Hey, Put This On
For some strange reason, everyone really seems to care what their local weather woman wears every day. Especially KTLA Meteorologist Liberte Chan! One day, the weather woman was simply doing her job when one of the producers handed her a sweater on air.
As one would, while still live, Chan asked him why she needed to put on the sweater. “We’ve been getting a lot of emails,” he replied. Apparently, viewers did not think Chan’s black dress was appropriate for the morning weather. After putting on the cardigan, the weatherwoman said she looked “like a librarian.” Still, Chan apologized if she offended anyone and also promised she wouldn’t wear the dress again!
What Happens in the Netherlands
Martje Oesterholt, a Dutch reporter, wanted to make a splash in her interview with the mayor. Unfortunately for her, that’s precisely what happened. Apparently, the two were filming a promotional video for an Easter Festival when the anchor suddenly lost her balance while leaning against the side of the boat.
Even though Oesterholt desperately tried to hold on to the rope next to her, she eventually ended up falling into the water. What’s more, there was a mass-confusion around her as the mayor attempted to use his mayoral chain to pull her back while the sound guy tried to fish the anchor out with his boom mic! Thankfully, Oesterholt managed to escape the river without injury – just embarrassment!
Shirtless Dad Cameo
Jessica Lang, who reports for Suncoast News Network in Tampa, recently discovered a new problem while working from home: interruptive parents. While filming a segment for work, Lang’s dad walked into the frame with his stomach out as he put on his T-shirt.
At first, Lang didn’t know why her mother, who was holding the camera, stopped recording. “What did you do, mom?” Then, the anchor turned around and saw her dad standing shirtless behind her. “Dad! Holy cow!” she said with her fists raised in frustration. Later on, Lang posted the clip on her Twitter page, writing, “Work from home they said, it’ll be fine they said.”
The Surprise Guest
KTLA has had to deal with quite a few uncomfortable drop-ins over the years. For example, when Wendy Burch did a report on Los Angeles’ recent bid to host the Olympics, a man decided to creep up behind her and stand uncomfortably close. However, believe it or not, Burch did not even notice what was happening behind her back!
When she finally turned around, Burch turned around and screamed in terror. After she did, the strange man ran off, never to be seen again. Thankfully, Burch was fine and even laughed the incident off. But really, dude? Not cool!
“Weather” You’re Visible or Not
Of course, transparency is incredibly essential in news media. However, Los Angeles-based meteorologist Liberte Chan took things to a new level when she literally turned invisible to viewers as she talked about the day’s forecast!
In case you can’t tell from the photo above, Chan just happened to wear a dress that blended a little too well with the green screen. Surprisingly, this is not the first time she’s done something like that. You think Chan would learn! Thankfully, a helpful colleague was there to offer her his blazer! By the next go around, the weatherwoman had changed into something a tad more appropriate for the morning weather.
