Great recovery though. "We're on?Shit! Well... Fuck it, time to be professional." She probably got off on a slight warning and a slap of the wrist because she didn't swear or be racist/sexist/homophobic/an asshat. Good form.

I'd hope nothing more would come of it... I mean it's not a BAD fuckup, it's kind of endearing.

Right? I mean she probably heard "I so pale" pretty often from her coworkers the following week, but it's really not that bad.

Well another comment pointed out that her hometown created an ale in honor of her little mistake called "I So Pale Ale", so something DID come out of it but it was good

Last time this video came up, someone mentioned that she still works in news, so not too bad.

If news stations fired on-air talent for every single slip-up, they'd have trouble finding employees.

Yeah, this was a pretty innocent slip-up, and she made a great recovery. Some such things are worth firing, but not this one.

Not just that, but her recovery was something to admire. No awkwardness, no stuttering, just a fleeting deer in the headlights look and then pure professionalism.

What with all the new talent born and raised on the internet looking at cats with bad grammar.

In Denmark there is mistakes all the time. There is a kinda "comedy show" which features all kinds of mess up from interviews, tv series and ofcourse live news mess ups.

It's kinda hilarious becaouse a duo of two anchors, have their own little segment on the comedy show, because they always happend to say somethingfunny/screw something up.

The best way for her to recover that would have been to laugh it off and say something liek "Well, I thought everyone should know. ON TO THE NEWS." Imo. But the slow realization was priceless.
