Moment Despite ‘feeling it fluttering in the back of her throat,’ a TV news anchor swallows a fly live on-air, but continues presenting.
Farah Nasser posted on Twitter the unusual video of her eating the fly.
The Canadian news anchor coughs and grimaces dramatically as a fly lodges in his throat.
However, despite the circumstance, she continued to deliver the part she was performing.
This comes after Ontario Premier Doug Ford swallowed a fly on live television last month.
This is the weird moment a news anchor swallowed a fly on-air, yet continued to broadcast despite “feeling it fluttering in the back of her throat.”
Farah Nasser, a Canadian anchor for Global National, tweeted video of the incident.
In the video, she proceeds to tell a tale about the floods in Pakistan.
However, her countenance changes when she gulps and grimaces while attempting to swallow a fly.
She commented on the video, which has garnered over 100,000 views: “I’m sharing this because we all need a chuckle right now.” Apparently it’s not just @fordnation; I just swallowed a fly in mid-air today. Given the tale I’m presenting, this is an issue of the first world.
In the video, she starts to deliver a Global News item on the floods in Pakistan.
However, her countenance changes when she gulps and grimaces while attempting to swallow a fly.
She subsequently told CNN that she could feel the insect ‘fluttering’ at the back of her neck and that it had been lodged there.
Despite the circumstances, she continued to introduce the part she was introducing.
In a separate interview with ET Canada, she elaborated on how the scenario transpired.
Before beginning her presentation, she saw a fly in the studio, but her sole concern was that it might cover the camera lens.
However, a fly suddenly landed in her throat, forcing her to rush over to the reporter.
She said that she was pleased to make others laugh, even if it was at her cost, in response to the video becoming viral.
This comes after Ontario Premier Doug Ford, whom she referenced in her post, consumed a bee live on television last month.
More than 100,000 people have seen the now-viral video, according to Farah. “I’m sharing this because we all need a chuckle right now.” Apparently it’s not just @fordnation; I just swallowed a fly in mid-air today. Given the premise I’m presenting, this is a first world issue.
