MSNBC Correspondent Adorably Interrupted By Her Son Coming To Say Hi During Live Report

MSNBC Correspondent Adorably Interrupted By Her Son Coming To Say Hi During Live Report
MSNBC / Twitter

Sometimes when you're discussing politics, you have to lighten the mood with some kid-sized cameo appearances.

MSNBC Journalist Courtney Kube was in the middle of a live report when her son made a surprise appearance at her side.


Kube was in the middle of a live discussion, concerning the current situation developing between Turkey and Syria. At the time, there were airstrikes underway from Turkey to Syria, and multiple Syrian civilians have since been reported dead from the assault.

During her exploration of these developments, her son appeared at her side.

At first, it appeared Kube did not realize he was there as he peered out from behind her arm. But when he came to her side, leaning up against the desk and reaching up to touch her shoulder, Kube laughed mid live discussion.

To this, Kube said:

"Their concern is that they want to have Kurdish---excuse me, my kids are here. Live television!"

Kube said this and started to lead her son back away from her desk. MSNBC's screen quickly switched to a map of the Turkey and Syria territories, with Kube continuing her discussion via voice-over.

You can see the brief exchange here:

This incident has put smiles on many viewers' faces, particularly during a time of hard discussion and news reporting.

Many turned to Twitter to comment on the cuteness of the moment.



Others took the opportunity to reminisce about another incident that was very similar to this one.


You may remember the moment back in 2017, when Political Science professor Robert E. Kelly, aka: "BBC Dad", was interrupted by his entire family during an interview.

While discussing current-at-the-time Korean impeachment, Kelly's daughter, Marion, danced and strutted her way into the office.

Kelly could be seen trying to lead his daughter back out of the office, much like Kube with her son, when his son, James, appeared in the hallway in his baby walker, looking for his sister.

His wife, Kim, only made matters more hilarious, when she literally slid into the room to gather up the children. When Kim closed the door after the children, Kelly turned back to the camera, closed his eyes, and apologized for the interruption.

You can experience the interaction again here:

Both of these moments are great examples of the hilarious antics working parents often have to go through while trying to get things done.

It's refreshing, though, to see how supportive onlookers are of BBC Dad and MSNBC Mom, as they tackle this crazy work-life balance.

Hopefully this little family of reporters with interrupting kids will continue to grow.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
