1. Kid interrupts weather report to forecast ‘Farts & Toots Everywhere
Year: 2017
Network: WLBT-TV
During a live broadcast of WLBT-TV’s 2017 weather report, a young boy ran on to the set and gave his own forecast. The boy said, “There will be farts, toots, and snorts everywhere!” without missing a beat before being whisked off by an off camera crew member.
The incident was a funny blooper but it also served as a good reminder that unexpected moments make the best TV. You can’t blame the child for warning people about heavy winds.
