Reporters have faced some scary situations when they have gone live. And KTLA’s Rachel Menitoff went through a horror scenario yesterday.
What happened? While reporting about our heatwave from Sherman Oaks, a massive flying cockroach landed on her exposed chest and neck before flying onto her mic.
While almost everyone watching this video was freaking out, she kept her composure. How? Who knows? But she deserves the Emmy!
In case you are wondering whether or not she felt the bug, here is what she told the station’s website: “I knew it was on me,” she said. “But I knew if I took notice of it, I wouldn’t be able to continue on with the report. So I said to myself, just get through this moment and then kind of shake it off.”
Before Anthony Michael Hall was chasing down Molly Ringwald’s underwear in Sixteen Candles, he was searching for bugs in The Gold Bug. How cute was the 11-year-old in that 1980 telemovie.
Tonight at 9p, Fox has a new reality competition show where you want to get eliminated. Why do the celebrity contestants want to lose Nation’s Dumbest? Because who wants to be known as the Nation’s Dumbest?
Who is trying not to win the show? The students are: television personality Hilaria Baldwin, actress and model Carmen Electra, actor Anthony Michael Hall, actor Jon Heder, musician and actor Chase Hudson, rapper and actor Ice-T, singer-songwriter Elle King, former NFL quarterback Matt Leinart, television personality and physician Dr. Drew Pinsky, stunt performer and comedian Steve-O, singer and performer JoJo Siwa, and entrepreneur and former presidential candidate Andrew Yang.
The game starts off with each contestant taking part individually in a logic test presented by the show’s teacher/host, Jack Whitehall. If they get it right, they get a point. If they don’t, then they don’t get one.
After the test, they go to a classroom where they answer basic questions. They can score another point.
After school, it is time to take part in a team challenge. Personally, I think that next week’s was biased towards one team. But that is another story. Anyways, they get another point.
Finally, it is time for them to answer questions. Whatever amount of points they have is what they start off with. If they get a question incorrect, they lose a point. When they get to 0, they are sent back to the classroom and move on to be the Nation’s Dumbest. This goes on until the smartest person is left standing. That person goes home a loser, or is it a winner?
So you have to wonder what you would do in that situation. Is it smart or dumb to be eliminated? What would you do?
When it comes to the contestants, Fox did a great job casting for the most part. Dr. Drew is awful, pompous, and unlikable as always. JoJo is not far behind. Surprisingly, Ice-T, Anthony Michael Hall, and Andrew Yang are the funniest ones of the group.
And that is not the only surprising thing about them. Don’t underestimate these celebrities. Just because we think they are dumb does not mean that they are. So get ready to be shocked by who goes home tonight.
And the biggest shocker is that a competition show can still be original and enjoyable to watch. And we need more of that that.
So tune in tonight and every Wednesday to find out which celebrity will win and lose at the same time.
