Live TV Fails so Awkward; You’ll Feel Secondhand Embarrassment for These Reporters
Hollywood Boulevard Scent Check
Live reports can get wild, and this 2013 NBC clip starring Madison Brooks is proof. She was delivering a segment on Hollywood Boulevard when a guy dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow waltzed up and sniffed her hair. Her reaction was disgust and anger, complete with a one-word expletive.
Fans of “Pirates of the Caribbean” recognized the spot‑on imitation of Jack sniffing Elizabeth Swann’s hair. The awkwardness of the stunt, combined with her intense, peeved glare and his smug swagger, turned a random prank into a viral clip. Moments like these highlight the eccentric characters reporters have to deal with sometimes.
