NBC News reporter Ken Dilanian had an 'oh sh*t' moment on live TV, literally, during an appearance today with MSNBC anchor Craig Melvin.
The moment came just after Melvin threw to Dilanian for a live shot. Instead of answering Melvin's question, Dilanian looked at his phone and said "oh sh*t. F*ck."
Best thing I've seen all day and it's not even noon yet. #HotMic pic.twitter.com/wARCxAi9kN

Dilanian later apologized in a Tweet, explaining what happened:
So sorry for the profanity I used on air last hour. I was experiencing some technical difficulties and mistakenly hung up on the control room, though my mic still was on. Perils of playing producer, cameraman and tech support all at the same time from home. #2020 🙃

2020 indeed.
Andy Hunsaker has a head full of sitcom gags and nerd-genre lore, and can be followed @AndyHunsaker if you're into that sort of thing.
