Live TV Fails so Awkward; You’ll Feel Secondhand Embarrassment for These Reporters
Avian Co-anchor Makes a Debut
There was nothing routine about KFMB’s “Zoo Day” segment in 2018 when Sophie, a scarlet ibis from San Diego Zoo Safari Park, decided Nichelle Medd was the perfect perch. After landing on her head, Nichelle posed as if she were debuting a haute-couture feather accessory. Viewers were delighted by her flawless composure and elegance.
But the real show began when Sophie hopped over to Eric Kahnert. His startled flail and animated attempts to shoo away the feathered co-anchor had everyone in stitches. The zookeeper swooped in, yet the viral moment stuck. Talk about a makeshift co-anchor making a debut to remember.
