Didn't Johnny Carson and Ed McMahon do that all the time on the bloopers shows? Anyway when I reporter is live on the scene isn't it a little hard to not show it if you are in the middle of the report? It's not like it's edited for later airing. It wasn't on my radar, so I don't know how much of a big deal it really was. Things like Michael Richards' rant really did become viral because of youtube, but that is because it involved a famous person doing a bad thing. This, not so much.
