3. Steve Frazier: The “Hanger” Incident

Fox 9 meteorologist Steve Frazier walked on set with a very weird bulge in his jacket.

He pulled it out mid-broadcast, pleading, “Can we just go to the weather?” while the whole studio erupted in giggles.

5. Liberté Chan: The Human Weather Map

In 2016, KTLA’s Liberté Chan learned a hard lesson: never wear sea-foam green in front of a green screen. She basically turned into a ghost, with temperatures and maps projected right onto her body. Luckily, a colleague saved the day by lending her his black blazer, turning her into a “walking green screen” legend.

Later, Chan took to Facebook to share the mishap, writing, “Who knew that sea foam green wouldn’t work on the weather wall? Oops … good thing I brought another dress.” Her lighthearted response and quick thinking during the broadcast turned what could have been an embarrassing moment into a unforgettable, comedic highlight.
