WVLA meteorologist Jesse Vinturella ran into some trouble during the final segment of the NBC-affiliate’s morning newscast today (video above).

“Nothing like a good face plant to end a Friday…” Vinturella tweeted after the newscast.

“Incredible comeback on the road for your Florida Panthers,” WSVN anchor Belkys Nerey told viewers during the Miami Fox-affiliate’s 10 p.m. newscast on Tuesday, speaking about the team’s Stanley Cup playoff win.  “Even if you’re not a huge hockey fan, you’re going to love the way they pounced tonight.”

Well, it appears like someone in the WSVN graphics department isn’t a huge hockey fan since the station displayed the logo of the Florida International University Golden Panthers instead of the NHL’s Florida Panthers.

After Nerey threw to him for details on the game, WSVN sports director Steve Shapiro quickly clarified that they were indeed talking about the professional hockey team. [h/t Deadspin]

WAAY reporter Rebecca Shlien didn’t have a problem with draping a snake on her shoulders to shoot a stand-up, but it appears like the snake may have been a little anxious about it.

Working on a story about snakes in North Alabama, Shlien was filming her stand-up when the snake she was holding started to vomit (video above). Read more

“Good Day Sacramento” reporter Alan Sanchez dressed up as the Easter bunny to entertain some local kids last week. And everything was going great until, well, Sanchez lost his head (video above).

Viewers in South Bend got a glimpse behind the scenes at WBND on Friday, as the ABC-affiliate accidentally cut from “World News” to a shot of anchor Krista Fogelsong doing her hair.

Looking into a hand mirror, Fogelsong said something about “humid hair” before the station switched back to Diane Sawyer.

“Yep.. I got caught on camera,” Fogelsong wrote on Facebook, following the incident.  “Of course I was looking in the mirror. UGH.” Read more

As the KSWB morning team teased an interview with the singer Meatloaf on Thursday, a graphic appeared with a photo of actual meatloaf.

“Hello, YouTube!” anchor Raoul Martinez said, laughing, “Nice to see you again.”

KSWB has become a reliable producer of YouTube-ready gaffes. Who could forget the time anchor Shally Zomorodi licked an iPad or the classic jet pack fail?

WDAF chief meteorologist Mike Thompson was all set to do the weather on Wednesday night when everything went silent.

During the Fox-affiliate’s 10 p.m. newscast, Thompson began his weather update but then quickly realized that no one at home could hear him. His mic was dead.

As time ticked away, the studio crew scrambled to find Thompson a backup pack. Video inside… Read more

“Ooooohhh my goodness!” KSAT meteorologist Steve Browne shouted, as he viewed a live shot of the San Antonio area during the ABC-affiliate’s severe weather coverage Monday night. “Looks like we have a TORNADO ON THE GROUND!”

After a short pause, Browne backed away from his blustery pronouncement.

“That could be an artifact on the camera lens. I think I might’ve misstated it” (video above).

KTVK anchor Kaley O’Kelley appeared to drop the f-bomb this morning after she heard that Peyton Manning was signing with the Broncos (video above).

During a segment about this recent study, O’Kelley was speaking with two local radio personalities when one of them mentioned that he had just seen a tweet about Manning signing with the Broncos, instead of the hometown Cardinals.

KTVK had yet to report on Manning’s decision at the time. It’s unclear exactly what spurred O’Kelley’s apparent curse, though. >Update: KTVK news director Brad Remington tells TVSpy that O’Kelley said “buck.” Read more

“Follow along with this,” Jimmy Kimmel told his audience on Thursday night, “because you’re about to see a man dig himself into hole, after hole, after hole.”

Kimmel couldn’t contain his laughter as he played a video of veteran WBRC weathercaster Mickey Ferguson having an awkward exchange with two young girls outside of a Walgreens (video above).
