Local Weather Reporter Camouflages Herself
Meteorologists and the color green don’t usually go well together. And we only have the chroma key green screen in studios to blame. But Liberté Chan believed she could get away with a lighter shade of bottle green. And this picture lets us know how wrong she was.
When Chan began her forecasting segment on KLA-TV that day, it didn’t take long for her to realize that the folks back home could literally see through her. Luckily, her co-anchor, Chris Burrous, saved her blushes and came to the rescue by lending her his suit jacket. Chan couldn’t be more grateful for his quick thinking.
Belinda Russell’s Wardrobe Malfunction
Still on wardrobe fails, here’s popular Channel Nine presenter, “Belinda Russell,” pulling a George Costanza. If you missed that reference, Seinfeld’s Costanza is known for wearing a nude-colored ensemble on an episode of the show. And before this incident, no one would have thought Russell considered him a kindred spirit.
So imagine how shocked viewers were that day when they turned on the TV to watch the 6 PM weather bulletin to find a nude host welcoming them to that night’s episode. Soon enough, though, everyone realized that Russell was well covered and only betrayed by the shade of her outfit.
Another On-Air Wardrobe Malfunction
Sometimes even all the preparation in the world can’t save one from a wardrobe malfunction. Because once we step out of the house, it’s impossible to account for all the sharp edges that could cause a rip in our clothes or a strong wind blowing up one’s skirt.
In the case of San Diego meteorologist Jacqueline Bennett, the unexpected circumstance she failed to consider was the cold air blasted into the studio on that fateful day. So as Bennett got right into the heart of things, describing the morning’s dense fog and drizzle, the cool air made her top see-through, though she seemed entirely unaware of it.
Why Everyone’s Keen On The Weather Forecast
Meteorologists may have a rule about wearing green to the studio. But outside of that color specification, no one said anything about clothing-specific dress codes. And many weather forecasters have been known to wear the most daring outfits in the studio.
On this day, Latin American meteorologist Nalié López showed up at the studio in this bright pink tank top and brown shorts. Still, there’s no telling if she wasn’t planning on making any headlines after her segment. But when her minor wardrobe malfunction made her the talk of the town—or the internet—she decided to make the most of it by launching a modeling career.
Going Viral For The Wrong Reasons
At this point, broadcasting networks ought to issue out a memo reminding their presenters to inform their housemates whenever they’ll be filming a segment. Just so the internet wouldn’t get too clogged with photos of half-dressed or completely undressed people walking around behind the scenes.
Spanish news anchor Alfonso Merlos learned the hard way when viewers spotted a barely dressed woman stroll behind him while he was live on TV. The situation became stickier when eagle-eyed fans confirmed that the woman was not his partner, former Big Brother star Marta Lopez. Thankfully, Merlos made up for it later and apologized for the uncomfortable situation.
When the Little Black Dress Isn’t a Fan Favorite
This might be a chance to consider what passes as appropriate work attire for a weather forecaster. For some, it’s about wearing something that looks good on camera but doesn’t distract viewers from the gist being delivered. While for others, it’s all about being comfortable.
No one can say what inspired Liberté Chan to show up at work in this glitzy black number. But the viewers that day were less than impressed. And once the TV crew started getting emails conveying the viewer’s displeasure at the less than appropriate outfit, Chan was handed a sweater before she could continue her segment.

Was It Bring Your Pet To Work Day?
Believe it or not, Bring Your Pet to Work Day is real. In fact, according to National Today, the official National Take Your Dog to Work Day in the United States is on the Friday following Father’s Day. However, this somewhat chaotic image is not from such a day, nor did it occur in the America.
Ilona Linarte is a Russian news anchor for Mir24 TV, who was doing her job, reporting the news, when she was interrupted by this rather friendly black dog. According to Today, the canine was at the studio with another guest when it went exploring the premises by itself. Luckily, no one was harmed.
When Working From Home Was Still A New Concept
The year 2020 was unusual in more ways than one. And the predominant trend globally was the shift to a work-from-home culture. As you’d expect, professionals scrambled to deal with the sudden merger of their private family life with their corporate life.
Of course, many parents had their work cut out for them. But one man seemed to rise beautifully to the occasion. When WCBS-TV meteorologist Lonnie Quinn was interrupted by his young daughters during a broadcast, he was unfazed. Instead, he handled the interruption like a pro, choosing to share the spotlight as he continued his broadcast. For the girls, this one’s a moment they’ll cherish forever.
Captain Jack Sparrow Unaccustomed To Life In The City
When this clip first made the rounds on the internet, the question on everyone’s minds was what inspired the incident. So imagine our total surprise when we discovered that what was meant to be a recording of an actual event was, in truth, 100% fake and created by Jess Weber of “Weberz Way Films.”
The madcap Captain Jack Sparrow from “Pirates of the Caribbean” and renowned Los Angeles reporter Madison Brooks are in reality actress Kristin Sargent playing Madison Brooks and a random man dressed as the famous Jack Sparrow. We must admit the crew deserves top marks for fooling us, though.
Dozing Off At Work Caught On Camera
Movie bloopers may contain lots of comedic fodder. But they’re no match for the kind of shenanigans television personalities can get up to while on the job. And in case this photo doesn’t make it clear enough, the man with his hands folded in his lap has fallen asleep on live television.
Tucker Carlson had probably had a tiring night the day before, so he decided to catch some winks while he was supposed to be hosting “Fox & Friends.” His co-hosts, Alisyn Camerota and Mike Jerrick, took full advantage of the opportunity by aiming their well-timed banter at him.
Cue The Awkward Music For The Entrance Of Dad’s Belly
Parents weren’t the only ones who got the short end of the stick when 2020 forced them to work from home. As a result, even children got to see a new side of their parents‒sides they could have been happy not knowing existed.
However, in the case of Floridian reporter Jessica Lange, the rest of the internet also became unexpected spectators. She was filming a report for Suncoast News Network when her father walked into the frame shirtless. In a few seconds, Lange and the world were treated with a clip of his belly. It turns out he wasn’t camera ready.
