Deggans Weekend News Blooper: Local TV Anchor Takes Cellphone Call During Newscast
Even a knucklehead like me, who only occasionally appears on TV, knows Rule Number One about going on air: always turn off your cellphone ringer.
So not only is it amazing that WXII news anchor Margaret Johnson let her cellphone go off during a newscast, the North Carolina journalist also answers it on air, asking her meterologist to take over the show for a bit. This clip is making the rounds a bit, but in case you haven't seen it, I offer it now for your amusement as the weekend begins.
