Live television reporters have to deal with a lot of pressure. But when they make a mistake, we all get to enjoy the blunder because every moment their face is on screen is recorded forever.
Savannah Guthrie, one of the hosts of NBC’s long-running Today Show, recently made a very uncharacteristic mistake. She accidentally said a curse word on live TV. Viewers instantly reacted to the hilarious situation and commented about it online. The person in charge of the broadcast quickly turned off her mic and cut to a commercial to cover the gaffe.
Despite the slip-up, many viewers found Guthrie more relatable and praised her for owning up to her mistake. Others even claimed that she said another swear word that was fortunately blocked out by the station.
Guthrie publicly apologized for her language on Twitter, making a joke about not realizing that the mic was on. She showed humility and acknowledged her error, which reflects her professionalism.
This isn’t the first time a news anchor has sworn on live television, but it’s important to note that mistakes happen to everyone. It’s how we handle those mistakes that defines us. Guthrie’s sincere apology and ability to laugh at herself demonstrate her authenticity and relatability.
