From news anchors losing their cool to unexpected on-air bloopers, these clips are meme gold.
Remember when TV weatherman Greg Dutra discovered his monitor was a touchscreen during a live broadcast and couldn't hide his excitement? Or the time Professor Robert Kelly's live interview, famously known as "BBC Dad," was hilariously interrupted by his kids? These are just a few laugh-out-loud moments we've seen on live TV, where there are no retakes, making it nearly impossible to complete a segment without a gaffe.
The spontaneity of live TV is often more entertaining than scripted shows. Although broadcast journalists are highly trained, slip-ups are inevitable. These unexpected mistakes and glitches create genuine humor that resonates with audiences. These clips frequently go viral in today's social media age, becoming meme-worthy moments.
