“Hello?! Can Anyone Hear Me? Guess Not”
News transitions on TV can be incredibly challenging sometimes. And no one gets the short end of the stick like the reporters who sometimes get caught making ill-timed gestures, all the time unaware that the cameras are rolling. BBC Breakfast weatherman Tomasz Schafernaker, once voted Britain’s favorite meteorologist, was also a victim of such a glitch.
After his multiple “Hellos?!” went unanswered on that day in 2018, he assumed he was off-air. And the good folks back home watched him wander off-screen, picking at his nails and clothing all the time, waiting for the crew to resolve the issue.

Who Let The Dog Out?
Working from home has a lot of advantages, including having food within reach and dressing however you like. However, it also has disadvantages like loud noises and unexpected interruptions. Meteorologist Scott Connell learned this the hard way when he tried to deliver the news from his house.

The four-legged animal tried catching his attention in all the ways possible. Videos on the internet would prove just how persistent the canine was, and in the end, the creature got its request granted!

Take Hema Mullur, for example. She was working on her first anchoring job in West Texas when she was asked to report on a gruesome murder. When the mugshot of the alleged criminal came up, Mullur reacted subtly to his wideset eyes and frozen expression. But the guys in the studio couldn’t withhold their laughter, and soon Mullur couldn’t help laughing along with them.
Toddler Gatecrashes BBC Interview
When kids want some attention from their parents, they never care that they could be interrupting something important. But how could they? They’re just children.

Fortunately, Kelly’s wife noticed what had happened and rushed in to grab the intruders. The Network probably realized that the moment was comedy gold and let his daughter, Marion have her moment. Suddenly, this family became one of America’s most famous families for some weeks.
