Bloopers

During Wednesday night's playoff game between Philadelphia and St. Louis, a squirrel ran right across home plate as Phillies hurler Roy Oswalt threw a pitch. Now the varmint has his own Twitter account with over 20,000 followers. Check out the video that made him famous below:

Weather gal Fiona Gorostiza of Fox 4 in Dallas, Texas was stuffing her face with some sort of delicious snack during a recent newscast, completely oblivious to the fact that the weather graphics had disappeared and she was on live TV. Check out the hilarious news blooper below.

Unless there's a big-time storm brewing, the nightly news doesn't start with the weather report. But that's exactly what happened due to a computer glitch at Channel 3 Eyewitness News in Idaho Falls, ID. When the telecast kicked off, the current temperature map and weekly weather chart flashed in front of the anchors, who were reading the more serious, top-of-the-hour news stories.

Something about his interview with Kourtney and Kim Kardashian tickled Mike Jerrick's funnybone, and by the time the segment ended, the Philadelphia news anchor was openly mocking the famous sisters.

When a local news team invited a tarantula to their studio for a segment, they didn't consider the severe arachnophobia of their skittish weatherman, who interrupted his own camera time to get away from the eight-legged creature.

During a live broadcast, the traffic reporter for Fox's affiliate in Western Michigan failed show up for his segment, leaving viewers to stare at a traffic map and nothing else.

Kim Kardashian got hitched to Kris Humphries on Saturday, and it was clearly the Most Important Wedding of Our Time, judging by the press that turned out to cover the event (not to mention the E! cameras filming the nuptials for later broadcast). One kid had enough of the spectacle and shimmied into the frame of a CNN camera to make goofy faces.

Clearly, a low-speed police chase involving a forklift is humorous. Especially when the man driving the heavy machinery is drinking beer and flipping off the officers as he plods down the highway. Still, that's no reason for the anchors on KVAL 13 News in Eugene, Oregon to completely lose it, when playing video of the bizarre crime.

After flubbing a couple lines during a news report, Knoxville Channel 8's Gordon Boyd (apparently thinking he was no longer on camera) threw a tantrum on live TV. Boyd glared angrily at the camera, bit his lip and threw his notepad to the ground in a fit of frustration while the camera continued to roll.

Wes Hohenstein, a weatherman for NBC 17 in North Carolina, was forced to brave the elements during his nightly weather report last Thursday when he accidentally swallowed a moth that flew right into his mouth.

During a segment on Australia's 'Today' show, shark expert Paul Bart was brought in to discuss alleged shark sightings in a popular swimming lake down under. After he refutes the fish tales, the show's hosts gave Bart a chance to catch the rumored sea beast with a fishing rod, expecting him to come back empty-handed. Bart casts off and promptly hooks a duck, who had come down to the lake for a qui

While adjusting to some technical difficulties during a segment from Kabul, France 2 reporter Pierre Babet saw an opportunity to take a cat nap while the issues were remedied. Hilariously, the sound is fixed and as the screen cuts back to Babet, where he is shown fast asleep during the live broadcast.

We don't know what it is exactly, but Australia has been having its fair share of great news bloopers recently. This video of a streaker running behind a 9News weatherman as he reports on the bitter cold temperatures in the mountain town of Katoomba (about 60 miles west of Sydney) is no exception. Be sure to pay close attention though: It's a quick streak and if you blink, you might miss it. In fa
