When Live TV Goes Wrong

Wherever a camera is rolling Murphy’s Law tends to kick in and things sometimes go horribly.

Here are live segments where things have gone wrong. From wardrobe malfunctions to animals changing things up. You’ll be glad they were all captured on camera.

Sports Danger

A reporter wanted to cover a segment in a local skate park. But he got more than he bargained for.

At first, it may look innocent enough. But if you look close enough you’ll see a flying object hurtling towards the reporter’s head. Yup, it’s a skateboard!

Animal Antics

News isn’t just about what’s happening locally or in the world anymore.

It must be spiced up with something to keep the audience’s attention. People love animal showcases, but this little reptile did not want to be handled at all. The poor newscaster had no idea what to do … other than freak out and nearly drop it.

Not Paying Attention

Normally, the news anchor is poised and ready for when the camera cuts back to them.

But this woman had a moment that all anchors have at least once – being oblivious that they are back on live tv. This woman was clearly bored and fiddling with her pen. When she realized what was going on, the look on her face was priceless.

Works “Perfectly”

It’s not just news bloopers that are hilarious – product features can have just as many booboos.

This man was trying to show that the foldable ladder was safe to climb on once it was clicked in place. As he climbed up, it started to unbuckle. But at the end of it all, he and his “foolproof” product were on the floor.
