Watch The Funniest News Anchor GIFs That Prove Live TV Is a Mess

A Bird’s-Eye View

In 2018, during a live broadcast on CBS News 8 in San Diego, anchor Nichelle Medina experienced an unexpected guest appearance. While introducing an upcoming “Zoo Day” segment, a scarlet ibis named Sophie decided to make an early entrance by landing gracefully atop Nichelle’s head.

Maintaining her composure, Nichelle quipped about the bird’s enthusiasm while her co-anchor, Eric Kahnert, joked that Sophie “couldn’t wait for the tease.” Later, Nichelle humorously referred to the incident as a “nice scalp massage,” adding that, as a working mom, she appreciated the unexpected relaxation. This delightful avian interruption showcased the unpredictable charm of live television and the professionalism of its hosts.
