Procrastination has never been more entertaining since I discovered chrisd.ca and his collection of newcast/media related bloopers.
As I said earlier, news is all the more entertaining when journalists go off script. It’s even more entertaining when it means I can temporarily delay the college-related task at hand, get a good laugh, and learn some valuable broadcast production lessons along the way.
Lesson #1: A TV broadcast is the product of a team effort. If someone isn’t doing their job, everyone just looks bad (especially those on camera).
Lesson #2: The floor director is important: watch for the floor director’s cues! Or: floor director, give less confusing cues!
Lesson #3: Pronunciation quizzes in radio class? Don’t need ‘em for TV!
Lesson #4: Giggling. And what to do when it happens on-screen.
Finally, the most crucial and hilarious lesson of all:
Lesson #5: Pets and interviewers do not mix. Especially on live television.
