Live TV Fails so Awkward; You’ll Feel Secondhand Embarrassment for These Reporters
Newsroom Coziness?
One unforgettable live TV incident happened in 2013 when political commentator Tucker Carlson nodded off mid-segment on “Fox & Friends.” He went from analyzing policy to dozing off, prompting co-host Mike Jerrick to comment in disbelief that he was really asleep. Alisyn Camerota, on the other hand, chuckled that they were being terrible colleagues.
Seconds later, Tucker snapped awake, blinked at the camera, and asked if they had captured him sleeping before explaining he’d pulled an all-nighter covering Sean Hannity. That off-script moment was equal parts work dedication in action and live comedy, proving that even news heavyweights can hit the snooze live on air.
