news bloopers

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.

We figured athletes were good with the ladies but apparently this reporter knows more than we do.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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?
