Liberte Chan Goes Transparent!

Weather reports don’t usually involve accidental vanishing acts, but Liberte Chan’s dress had other ideas in 2016. The KTLA meteorologist stepped in front of the green screen wearing a patterned dress that, unfortunately, blended right in. One moment, she was there; the next, the temperatures were shining straight through her.

A colleague quickly handed over a jacket, turning the broadcast into an unplanned fashion fix. Liberte took it all in stride, laughing as she covered up and powered through the forecast. The outfit might have disappeared, but the moment became an instant classic. Not every day the weather steals the show… literally.

Breaking News: Reporter Needs a Nap!

Long hours and late-night reporting can take a toll, and in 2019, KWCH12’s Deedee Sun had a moment every tired journalist can relate to. Just before her live segment began, the camera unexpectedly cut to her mid-yawn, capturing the kind of unfiltered exhaustion that only live TV can expose.

With a microphone in hand and eyes barely open, Deedee looked like she was moments away from a nap instead of a news report. Her colleague’s amused reaction in the background only made the moment funnier. Deedee, an award-winning journalist with experience at KOMO and KWCH, recovered quickly, proving that even pros can get caught needing a caffeine boost.

This Weather Report That Had Viewers Doing a Double-Take

In 2020, Today Extra viewers tuned in for the weather but got an unexpected fashion optical illusion instead. Belinda Russell rocked a full-body flesh-color jumpsuit so close to her skin tone that, at a glance, it looked like she had walked on set wearing… absolutely nothing.

With her poised delivery and confident stance, she didn’t miss a beat, but social media went wild. Was this a daring style choice or just an innocent wardrobe mishap? Either way, weather updates had never been so attention-grabbing. While the forecast might’ve called for clear skies, all anyone could talk about was Belinda’s “barely-there” outfit!

Work-From-Home Went Completely Off Script

Professionalism is tough when your home doubles as your newsroom, and in 2020, Jessica Lang learned that the hard way. The Suncoast News Network reporter was delivering a segment from her kitchen when her dad casually strolled into the frame—mid-shirt change, belly out, completely unaware.

Her reaction was instant—a perfect mix of shock and secondhand embarrassment. The blooper spread like wildfire, racking up thousands of views online as people related to the chaos of pandemic-era remote work. Jessica, a graduate of the University of Florida and an award-winning journalist, handled it all with humor, proving that live TV isn’t the only thing full of surprises.

When Legs Steal the Show

News debates can get heated, but in 2017, Kimberly Guilfoyle’s legs became the real distraction on “The Five.” Sitting on the couch in a sleek navy dress, she crossed her legs in a way that turned the camera shot into an optical illusion—endless legs, front and center, overshadowing everything else.

While her co-hosts talked politics, viewers couldn’t help but focus on her ultra-leggy moment. It was one of those hilarious TV slip-ups where nothing actually goes wrong, but suddenly, the whole segment feels like an unintentional showcase of a news anchor’s runway-ready limbs. A political discussion? Sure. But all eyes were on those legs!
