Live television can be risky. Some newscasters are able to remain calm, cool, and collected after a mishap and others can't seem to keep it together. There are tons of blooper videos, but today I'm focusing on falls. People stumble over words all the time, but it's not every day that you see an on-air fall!
It can also suck even if you aren't the one who had the blooper because you can't laugh or freak out. I don't know how the cameramen and other newscasters keep a straight face. I'm definitely not fit for live TV!
If you missed the videos of kids getting hit in the head with balls, you should check that out for more laughs.
Reporter Falls Off Skateboard
Honestly, why would you try to skateboard on live TV without any skating experience? She totally asked for it. TJ doesn't even try to catch her or help her up!
Reporter Gets Hit by Sled
This flip is almost too perfect. Why didn't someone from the entire crew suggest moving further away from the sledders? Look at how far his "trusty stopwatch" flies. Yes, that was a bad idea, sir.
Reporter Falls Down a Snowy Hill
I can't believe the cameraman doesn't have any reaction. He doesn't even cut away or yell to see if the guy is OK. The camera seems to jiggle a little, so I think the cameraman is quietly laughing.
Reporter Walks Into a Pole
Clearly he didn't plan out his path ahead of time. I bet he'll look where he's walking from now on.
Weather Lady Takes a Fall
At least she's able to laugh at herself! She laughs the whole way through the rest of weather report.
Haven't seen enough people embarrass themselves? You can also watch a reporter's teeth falling out, a weatherman who desperately needs a bathroom, and a reporter crash her 4 Wheeler.
I'm female and all in favor of a cure for breast cancer. But, I think the pink ribbon is loosing a bit of what it represents when it is spread over enough products for a "Pink Ribbon" Catalog. You have to wonder the % of the contributions going to marketing vs. the cure??
