news bloopers

I don't think the average human can make it through 20 seconds of this video without a full blown cringe attack.

2016 may not have been everyone's favorite year, but in these closing days at least we have this to make us smile.

Time to take a look at the best moments of the year in hilarious screw-ups by reporters.

I have been lucky enough to interview a ton of people in my career. Before every interview, I try to create a checklist so it rolls smoothly. I'll study who I'm interviewing, I'll write down a core group of questions, I'll make sure my mic is on and/or the camera is rolling, ect. Now I have to add something to my checklist. MAKE SURE THE PERSON I'M INTERVIEWING IS ALIVE.

First things first, I understand that Phoenix, AZ is a hot place to live. Summer time is HOT HOT HOT and winter time is warm. How hot is it you ask? Well if you watched the news earlier this week in Phoenix, you would have been informed that the temps were over 2,000 degrees!

Local news stations: perhaps the country's greatest source of unintentional comedy.

A crackhead mayor, an interview with a cat and the world's thinnest weatherman are featured in this month's compilation of embarrassing clips from local newscasts from across the country.

Oh, poor Erin Andrews. The Fox sports personality was doing a report during this weekend’s coverage of the NFL when she unknowingly became part of the creepiest video-bomb you can imagine. As if she doesn't have enough weirdos leering at her on a daily basis.

Omari Fleming may be a star reporter, but it's the "moon" behind him that's got people talking in this video.

Charles Ramsey, a hiccuping weatherman and Tenacious D are only some of the highlights featured in this edition of local news fails for May of 2013.

On Tuesday, an enraged mother in Providence, Rhode Island attacked a news crew when they showed up to interview her about the shooting of her daughter at a graduation party. As a result, she was charged with two counts of felony assault. So much for breaking the cycle of violence.

It wasn't all f-bombs and Ryan Lochte when it came to April news bloopers. From a rapping weatherman to an over-amorous sea lion, we've got all the bases covered as we look back at last month's news fails.
