When News Breaks: The Wild World of Live TV Bloopers!
A Slip of the Tongue
In 2011, reporter Holly Pietrzak of Virginia’s WDBJ7 found herself navigating through a linguistic minefield. While aiming to highlight the fortunate uptick in teen summer job prospects, Holly’s intended message took a comical detour. Instead of proclaiming that “more teens are having luck finding summer jobs,” a notorious F-word made a surprise cameo.
The immediate aftermath captured her in a struggle to maintain composure, her expression a mix of shock and determination to press on. This slip of the tongue, while unexpected, showcased the unpredictable charm of live television, turning a routine report into a memorable snippet that viewers—and likely Holly herself—would not soon forget.
