MSNBC Correspondent Drops Some Expletives Live On Air After Losing His Feed—And It's A Mood

MSNBC Correspondent Drops Some Expletives Live On Air After Losing His Feed—And It's A Mood
MSNBC

This on-air blooper by an MSNBC reporter was a double-whammy.

On Tuesday morning, anchor Craig Melvin introduced a segment on how Trump's White House was preparing for its transition to President-elect Joe Biden's team and cut to reporter Ken Dilanian.


But instead of receiving intel from Dilanian, viewers saw the reporter fumbling over his phone after apparently losing his feed right as Melvin asked, "Ken, what have you learned, sir?"

Dilanian had but two words to say:

"Oh sh*t. F'k!"

You can watch the clip here.

After an awkward pause, Melvin maintained his composure and told guffawed viewers:

"OK. Uh. Think we lost Ken for a second, we'll try to get him back there."

On Twitter, people found the live bungle amusing and forgave the reporter for his snafu.





Dilanian later apologized for the gaffe, saying:

"I want to sincerely apologize to viewers who may have heard me use profanity at the top of the last hit."

In a tweet, he attributed the embarrassing snafu to wearing too many hats in a year that had many people scrambling to do their best under current circumstances.

"So sorry for the profanity I used on air last hour. I was experiencing some technical difficulties and mistakenly hung up on the control room, though my mic still was on."
"Perils of playing producer, cameraman and tech support all at the same time from home. #2020"


Many people found the situation relatable given 2020's track record.




It happens to the best of us. Except we're not caught on TV doing it.

Trump Made A Petty Dig At Taylor Swift During The Eagles' White House Visit—Because Of Course

President Donald Trump was called out after he made a petty dig at pop star Taylor Swift during his speech for the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles' visit to the White House.

In a brief speech, Trump acknowledged the Eagles' 40–22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs was “a little surprising,” a remark that appeared to reference the Chiefs' consecutive Super Bowl victories in 2023 and 2024. He then shifted focus to Swift, getting in a petty swipe drawing attention to Swift's presence at the game to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, play tight end for the losing team.
