Live TV Fails so Awkward; You’ll Feel Secondhand Embarrassment for These Reporters
Meteorologist vs. Pooch
Global Edmonton weatherman Mike Sobel got more than he bargained for when he invited Ripple, a high-energy Shepherd‑Mastiff rescue, on air in 2014. Ripple yanked on his leash, leapt around, and nearly dragged Mike across the green screen map as it was more interested in tug-of-war than temperatures.
Mike’s amused commentary on the ensuing chaos and his hearty laughter made the broadcast memorable and entertaining. The viral clip exploded across YouTube and even made Ellen’s Facebook page. Ripple’s antics were legendary enough that he was soon adopted. Who knew a weather session on TV could lead to a pooch finding its forever home?
