The reporter, Mike Seidel, used dramatic movements to seemingly keep his balance during a live shot on Friday. But then, two men enter the frame behind him and seem to have no trouble walking around.
The Weather Channel issued a statement to the Washington Post Saturday defending the reporter’s viral performance, saying he was “undoubtedly exhausted.”
This isn't the first time this has happened. The most hilarious example until Florence was the NBC’s Michelle Kosinski paddling through New Jersey floodwaters in a canoe. It looked daunting until two guys carrying grocery bags walked by in waders in front of her live shot.
