Live TV is full of surprises, and sometimes they go hilariously wrong, from reporters getting unexpectedly startled by dogs to an anchor playfully lifting her dress to show off a tan line.
A talk show guest had a wardrobe malfunction mid-conversation, while a news presenter hilariously botched a handshake. A woman being interviewed about flooding mistakenly said “evaporate” instead of “evacuate,” and a news team miscalculated that Michael Bloomberg could have given every American $1 million. A weatherman sarcastically questioned why he had to stand outside to confirm it was snowing, while a BBC presenter unknowingly flipped off the camera. The president of Costa Rica swallowed a wasp on live TV, a host vomited mid-segment (only for the guest to sympathize after realizing she was pregnant), and another anchor fell down after stepping on her own flowing dress. A debate spiraled into chaos when guests started fighting, a rapper froze while attempting to freestyle, and a news presenter accidentally showed her middle finger before realizing she was live.
