Live News Moments: When TV Gets A Little Too Real

8. Savannah Guthrie: Backwards and Choking

Savannah Guthrie is the queen of keeping it real. She’s had microphones fall down her shirt and skirts fly up in the wind, but the highlight was in 2020 when she realized mid-show she was wearing her red lace dress backwards. She joked on Twitter that she felt like she was being “choked” all morning.

It’s exactly this kind of authentic, “oh well” energy that has made Guthrie a fan favorite over the years. Whether she’s wrestling with runaway microphones, windy skirts, or flipped blouses, she proves that a healthy dose of self-deprecation is the best accessory when live TV decides to get weird.
