[ # ] What could go wrong with having the last name Penix?
August 15th, 2025 under TV News

There is an Atlanta Falcons player named Michael Penix Jr. With a last name like that, you know that is going to cause problems for chyron operators in news departments. And that is exactly what happened to WTOC in Savannah.

I am not sure if that person writing his name into the chyron misheard the surname or if muscle memory caused him to do it, but the last name appeared as Penis on the screen.

So whatever way it happened, I am glad it did. Because seeing the word penis during a newscast will always be funny, that is, unless their last name is Penix, and they have heard that joke their whole lives.
