The power of invisibility
Liberte Chan, host of the Weekend Morning News program and a weather forecaster, had a funny moment when her outfit coincidentally matched the green screen, making her nearly disappear into the background. The situation turned lighthearted as Chan seemed almost invisible. Luckily, a colleague quickly intervened, offering her a jacket to ensure she stood out clearly on camera.
During the incident, Chan, who was a part of KTLA 5 from 2012 to 2021, kept her composure with a confident and pleasant demeanor. As a TV host with a background in meteorology and broadcast journalism, this experience has made her more mindful of her wardrobe choices for future broadcasts.
What a naughty question
Certainly, even the smallest slip-up or embarrassing moment can become a public embarrassment for TV presenters, as has been shown numerous times. One notable incident occurred when two presenters were discussing child discipline issues live on air, and one of them asked the other if she had ever experienced “proper spanking.”
The embarrassed presenter responded awkwardly, acknowledging that she had experienced a proper spanking, though not during childhood. This slip-up was captured on camera, causing the video to swiftly go viral online. Even today, this incident is remembered for its unexpected and embarrassing nature.
