How about the Top 5 mistakes on live TV?
• Of course, Steve Harvey has to be on this list after announcing the wrong winner live at the Miss Universe pageant. He was the subject of many jokes and memes afterward, and even made fun of himself, posting a tweet “Merry Easter Y’all!” on Christmas Day.
• Janet Jackson’s Wardrobe Malfunction – most epic nip slip of all time at the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show. The FCC received over a half million complaints over “Nipplegate”. As a result, FCC fines for indecent exposure on TV increased from $27,000 to $325,000, and led to the widespread use of the “five second delay” on live TV.
• Wrong winner announcement again – this one was for Australia’s Next Top Model. This was the 2010 finals. It was broadcast live. The host chose to use the earpiece rather than a card. Due to a malfunction, it was discovered that she only heard part of the information. She was given the correct information for the announcement by a cue card, and apologized profusely. The incorrectly announced winner was given $25,000 as an apology.
• BBC Weatherman flips off news anchor - the news anchor was about to segue into the weather report, but before doing so, engaged in some light hearted banter. The camera quickly switched to the weatherman without his knowledge, who was flipping off the anchor. The station apologized, saying the weatherman didn’t know he was on camera. The station received thousands of complaints. Shortly thereafter, the station announced labor cuts. Among these – yep. The offending weatherman.
• Anchor cursing on his first day on the job – Bismarck ND’s new anchorman, A. J. Clemente, was fired after just one day. As his co-anchor was getting ready to introduce him, A.J. is heard clearly muttering “fucking shit”. At this point, no one, including the co-anchor realized his mike was live. He was trying to figure out how to pronounce the name of the London marathon winner, Tsegaye Kebede, and not having much luck, obviously. He didn’t know until the third break that his expletives were broadcast live. The producer told him to go home for the day, and he was fired the next morning. He now works as an instructor for people wanting to break into live media – obviously teaching them what not to say on camera.
Have a fangtastic day my friends!<3 Brock V"""V
