The Craziest Things News Anchors Have Said And Done On Air

#26. Poor Word Choice

AJ Clemente didn’t even get to finish his first day on the job working for an NBC affiliate in North Dakota! Immediately after the cameras turned on, he muttered a slur that was insulting to the LGBTQ+ community. He was fired right after the broadcast, but still managed to find another job in the media. Who knows….

#27. Feeling... Not So Good

Matt Bellamy, the lead singer of ultra-popular rock band “Muse,” decided to mix things up with his song “Feeling Good.” At one concert, he sang the word [expletive] over and over again, instead of the song’s traditional lyrics. Ironically, the original version of the tune contains no profanity at all!

#28. Flash Me

During a cricket match between England and the West Indies, two fans got a little too enthusiastic about the game! When the camera panned over to them, one of them just couldn’t resist showing off her boobs! Fortunately, the producers quickly cut to another screen, but viewers still went absolutely wild over it!

#29. That's Racist...

Yikes! After an Asiana Airlines plane crash, an anchor at KTVU San Francisco was given a list with all the “pilots’ names.” Unfortunately, these names were ironic, racist, and profane! The network apologized for the incident, and the responsible people were fired, but this definitely goes down as the worst prank in television history!

#30. Buzz Buzz Buzz

KSNT reporter Katya Leick was reporting from a United States Army base in June 2015 when she was quite literally, and unexpectedly, swarmed by a pack of cicadas! She kept her calm at first, but dropped her microphone when one flew near her mouth. We can’t blame her for that!
