The Most Bizarre Moments Broadcasted On Live TV
You do not have to be an expert on live and on-screen reporting to recognize the unspoken rules of the industry. Being level-headed and professional at all times is a must. However, when the camera starts rolling, there is only so much you can do to fix sudden mishaps that result in many of the uncomfortable situations that you see live on air. Whether they are awkward or cringy, these outrageous scenes are always a source of a good laugh or two.
Steve Harvey’s mishap at the Miss Universe 2015 pageant and Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction during the Halftime show of the Super Bowl XXXVII are still widely talked about today. Additionally, plenty of people continue to make references about Kanye West’s interruption of Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech in the 2009 Video Music Awards. It is not even uncommon to see that reporters or hosts mispronounce or call their guests the wrong names.
One prime example of a celebrity whose name is always mispronounced is Saoirse Ronan. She even revealed that she also finds it hard to pronounce her name. It is not hard to find telecasts that were also interrupted by dogs, monkeys, and even bird poo. Sadly, with the existence of the internet and social media, these clips will forever be in existence. Luckily, it is easy to pull up any of these videos anytime if you are in need of a boost of humor.
Sometimes, it is nice to see someone slip up. Like how hilariously Jim Carrey said the wrong word in Fun with Dick and Jane. Although mistakes committed on the set can be funny enough to actually be included in the final release. A great example of this is when Star-Lord played by Chris Pratt drops the Orb while offering it to the Collector in the Guardians of the Galaxy or how Sir Ian McKellen bumps his head in Bilbo’s Ceiling while playing Gandalf in Lord of the Rings. Things can easily go wrong and it can be hard to keep calm. Read on to see the list we compiled about some of the most hilarious moments that happened live on air!

Everyone knows that Rafael Nadal is one of the best tennis players in history. He was even given the title “King of Clay” for the 75 career titles he holds. However, even he is not immune to feminine charms. It is quite easy to lose focus even for someone like him! During a match, he was caught staring at the ball girl standing near him. The scene was caught and aired live on TV.
