CBS Reporter Serene Branson's On Air Flub...

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

CBS Reporter Serene Branson's On Air Flub...

Post by Big Media »

Reporter Serene Branson for CBS in LA loses all function of speech. The Grammys were just that exciting.

Note: CBS is sending take-down requests as quickly as sites can post. If the video is missing, Google it.

CBS said on the Today Show this morning that they thought she might have had a small stroke ?

They did have her checked but no ailment showed up. Clearly there was more in play here besides just nerves. Frankly it was every nightmare about broadcasting I ever had. I had my share of 'dead air dreams' but I also had dreams when I did something exactly like this woman, and it was terrifying to me!

By the time you make it to KCBS, you should be well over stage fright.
Whatever happened to the anchor who had Tourette's syndrome? Raleigh, I think.

I thought she made more sense than over 75% of the other people talking on television at that moment...

I felt for the girl. You can see in her face that she was terrified. :(

I checked and saw that someone registered burtation.com the day after this happened.

My hope is that Serene Branson is okay. She sounded like someone who had taken too many somas; there was a disconnect between her brain and her tongue.

With a migraine would be better based on the out of the ordinary and incoherent moaning.
