One Today Show reporter in Australia had a real Ron Burgundy moment. It seems Roz Kelly will also read anything that’s on the teleprompter. Fortunately, her co-anchor Karl Stefanovic didn’t put an F-bomb in there like Veronica Corningstone, but he did get her to imply that she enjoys the “cookies” in Amsterdam. Kelly took it [...]

Did This Reporter Just Say 'Sex'???

We figured athletes were good with the ladies but apparently this reporter knows more than we do. In a recent news blooper, Comcast SportsNet reporter Susannah Collin flubs the word success in a major way during her report about the Chicago Blackhawks.

A.J. Clemente's first day at his new job couldn't have gone any worse.

The 10 Funniest Celebrity Meltdowns Caught on Tape (NSFW)

Let's face it -- as much as we identify with celebrities, we don't really know them. That's why public meltdowns, where they show their peevish, arrogant and sometimes crazy sides, are so darned fascinating. When this happens, our perception of celebs can change forever. Think about it -- will you ever be able to watch 'Braveheart' again without recalling Mel Gibson's racist rants? We think not.

Watch a Local News Crew Get Hilariously Duped

Kyle Dowling — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 12:15:19 +0000

With the exception of reality television, it appears that today's small screen is becoming all the more authentic, and thus, relatable. Because of the shows featuring intense storylines and characters that we connect with it's no wonder we feel so heavily for the screen.

The above video -- featuring a news team baffled over a plane crash that left a roadway smashed (yet still with no ambulance in sight) -- demonstrates just how real TV can get, because while the anchors believed to be relaying a breaking news story, the truth was that it was all for show... a television show.

Was Diane Sawyer Drunk on Election Night?

Ever since the election on Tuesday, people have been speculating that Diane Sawyer was maybe at least a *little* bit tipsy while she was working. Why? Her speech is a little slow and a little slurred. At one point she does say “Barack Orama.” She kind of reminds us of our embarrassing aunt at Christmastime. [...]

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?
