A Kansas City traffic reporter who planned to call in sick on Friday found his inbox flooded with messages from company employees—including reporters, producers, and anchors—expressing their sympathies.
How did everyone know?
It turns out that FOX4's Nick Vasos was feeling under the weather and accidentally emailed parent company Nexstar Media Group, which includes 200 TV stations across the country.

Co-workers got in on the roasting by setting up a vigil for their employee at work.

Ferris Bueller, everyone's favorite truant played by a teenage Matthew Broderick in the 1986 comedy Ferris Bueller's Day Off, was on people's minds.

@DavidNBC4 @NickVasos Lmao, I was thinking Ferris Bueller too! 🤣🤣🤣— Packerbacker (@Packerbacker)1574393347.0
In a hilarious twist, no one at FOX4 where he works got the email.

Hopefully, Vasos will recover quickly from this humiliating affliction.
