News Anchor Tries to Eat World's Hottest Pie

Emerald Catron — Thu, 23 May 2013 12:00:02 +0000

You might recognize a few of these faces from last week, when we showed the man on the right, Karl Stefanovic, pranking his co-anchor from Australia ‘Today’ on the air. He’s back, and this time he’s trying to eat the world’s hottest pie. If this confuses you, in Australia they make delicious savory pies, so it’s [...]

Reporter Terrified By Rooster Gone Wild

Drew Weisholtz — Tue, 21 May 2013 16:55:33 +0000

The guy holding the rooster is a real chicken. This 2008 clip of a British reporter is enjoying a second life because, well, just watch for yourself and you’ll see why. Not only does this fella scream, but he also books it like he’s running the 40-yard dash. Intrepid reporter? We think not. Source: Reporter [...]

Morning News Anchor Pulls 'Anchorman'-Style Prompter Prank

Emerald Catron — Fri, 17 May 2013 16:54:32 +0000

One Today Show reporter in Australia had a real Ron Burgundy moment. It seems Roz Kelly will also read anything that’s on the teleprompter. Fortunately, her co-anchor Karl Stefanovic didn’t put an F-bomb in there like Veronica Corningstone, but he did get her to imply that she enjoys the “cookies” in Amsterdam. Kelly took it [...]

News Bloopers Rock-Here's Your April Collection [VIDEO]

Adam West — Wed, 08 May 2013 15:59:32 +0000

There’s nothing more high pressure than live radio or TV, because there is no editing. When you accidentally let an f-bomb fly, or trip over a chair, there is no doing it over. On that note, it’s time to savor a collection of local news bloopers, photo bombs, and general weirdness below. You Tube

Did This Reporter Just Say 'Sex'???

Kyle Dowling — Thu, 02 May 2013 11:45:29 +0000

We figured athletes were good with the ladies but apparently this reporter knows more than we do. In a recent news blooper, Comcast SportsNet reporter Susannah Collin flubs the word success in a major way during her report about the Chicago Blackhawks. Standing just outside the team’s locker room, she starts off on the right foot, speaking [...]

News Anchors Can't Handle How Dumb Ryan Lochte Is

Emerald Catron — Sat, 20 Apr 2013 15:30:34 +0000

We would feel bad for Ryan Lochte, except, you know, he won all those Olympic medals. These news anchors are so astounded by his amazing stupidity while promoting his E! reality show that as soon as the interview is over, they began laughing uncontrollably. "How are they going to put together 13 weeks of p

Montana TV Station Gets Hacked With Zombie Warning

Kyle Dowling — Wed, 13 Feb 2013 14:00:07 +0000

Yep, this happened. During what we can only assume was a mesmerizing episode of the 'Steve Wilkos Show,' an Emergency Alert System interrupted a Montana television station with a message claiming that "the bodies of the dead are rising from their graves and attacking the living." Meaning? Yes, a zombie attack was underway.

Awesome Traffic Reporter Boasts Best Dance Moves of 2012

Cameron Simcik — Sat, 29 Dec 2012 22:27:46 +0000

We've said it several times before, and we'll say it again-- news reporters are awesome and super talented, in a variety of ways. So far the rapping weatherman tops our list as one of the coolest reporters around, but we recently discovered a dude who's giving him a run for his money. We'd like to introduce you to the most coordinated dancing traffic anchor around, Bob Herzog.

Watch 2012′s Best News Bloopers In One Epic Compilation

Emerald Catron — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 21:29:42 +0000

It’s that special time of year when people take all the funny things that happen and make them all into one big thing. Here, for example, are the best funny news bloopers of 2012. We like these videos because they not only remind us of the ones we like but forgot because they aren’t from [...]

Watch a Local News Crew Get Hilariously Duped

Kyle Dowling — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 12:40:19 +0000

With the exception of reality television, it appears that today's small screen is becoming all the more authentic, and thus, relatable. Because of the shows featuring intense storylines and characters that we connect with it's no wonder we feel so heavily for the screen.

The above video -- featuring a news team baffled over a plane crash that left a roadway smashed (yet still with no ambulance in sight) -- demonstrates just how real TV can get, because while the anchors believed to be relaying a breaking news story, the truth was that it was all for show... a television show.

Co-Anchors Quit On-Air After News Broadcast

Jeremy Taylor — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 12:40:49 +0000

Cindy Michaels and Tony Consiglio anchored the evening news together for WVII in Bangor, Maine. On Tuesday, they resigned their positions together right before signing off for the final time. “Some recent developments have come to our attention … and departing together is the best alternative we can take,” Consiglio, 28, explained before the broadcast [...]

This News Blooper Is Great for a 10 Second Laugh

Emerald Catron — Sun, 18 Nov 2012 14:30:02 +0000

This video has all the things we love. It’s blissfully short. It will make you laugh. It strongly highlights the importance of correct punctuation. Because when you don’t insert commas and periods where they’re needed, sometimes you accidentally tell people your coworker was murdered. Granted, sometimes you don’t, but * sometimes you do. * Source: This [...]

Awkward! Election Reporter Tongue-Tied Over Will.i.am

Kyle Dowling — Sun, 11 Nov 2012 20:15:14 +0000

We’re not quite certain who’s more hopeless, the reporter who misidentifies Will.i.am as Wyclef Jean (and even when corrected, still can’t get the name right), or the anchor who completely forgets his co-worker’s name. Mike? Blake? Whichever. Eventually the clueless correspondent did identify the Black Eyed Peas bandmember, saying, “Either way, you kind of get the [...]

People Go Crazy In Hurricane Sandy News Bloopers

Emerald Catron — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 12:00:49 +0000

Apparently even the prospect of being cooped up is enough to make some people go bonkers. Here is video proof — it’s a handy-dandy compilation of all the bizarre antics accidentally caught by news cameras during Hurricane Sandy. Our favorite is either the guys dancing ‘Gangnam Style‘ on the beach, or the reporter telling everybody [...]

Unruly Fish Causes Hilarious News Blooper

Donald Deane — Wed, 31 Oct 2012 11:36:03 +0000

Intrepid Tennessee reporter Carley Gordon got way more than she bargained for when an Asian carp broke free during a Channel 4 News report and nearly sent her over the side of a boat. Well, it is an invasive species, after all. What did she expect?

Watch the First Documented Hurricane Sandy Weatherman 'Fail'

Emerald Catron — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:48:59 +0000

Weatherman Peter Doocy was standing out on Rehoboth Beach in Delaware, showing how intense the ocean was becoming before the storm even arrived when something went wrong. Unlike the usual hurricane bloopers, he didn’t get bowled over by the wind — he got his foot stuck in a sand trap. If this were a 1960s [...]

Watch the Funniest Weather Graphics Blooper of All Time

Emerald Catron — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 18:36:53 +0000

If your inner 15-year-old boy is screaming for entertainment, this is probably the video for you. A weatherman’s graphic started off with innocent intentions, but quickly turned dirty because we are all secretly perverted ninth graders. Needless to say this is NSFW because anybody who watches can’t help making it into something gross, rather than [...]

Terrible Reporter Breaks Volunteers' Hearts Live On Air

Emerald Catron — Wed, 10 Oct 2012 02:35:35 +0000

Well, here is a good example of a terrible person, if you were looking for one. Investigators in a case involving a missing four-year-old decided they were probably actually investigating a murder case. News reporter Kay Burley felt the strange compulsion to tell volunteers who were searching for the child that she was probably dead. [...]

Terrible Reporter Makes Baby Cry

Emerald Catron — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 11:05:35 +0000

“Way to go, Dan. Way to make a baby boy cry on live television.” Yeah, good job Dan. We especially like how once the baby starts to cry his impulse is to run awaaaaaayy, and then later to cheer the crying kid up with a bit of song and dance. Too late, Dan, you already [...]

Watch Some Adorable Katie Couric Bloopers

Emerald Catron — Fri, 14 Sep 2012 11:15:15 +0000

Katie Couric's new daytime show, 'Katie,' starts today. Maybe if we get all of this out of our systems, she'll have a smooth run. Or maybe it will just be wacky zoom city all over the place. Either way, sounds entertaining to us. Hopefully there won't be as many swear words as there are in some of these bloopers we found. Although, again, either way sounds entertaining to us.
