Legendary anchorman Ron Burgundy knows the feeling.
An Australian television personality fell victim to a classic teleprompter prank Wednesday. It was something straight out of the hit movie Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy.
The real-life television host was reading a script off of the teleprompter as highlights of Chelsea’s victory over Benfica in the Europa League final were broadcast. Everything was going according to plan until she reached the end of her prepared remarks: “The Blues defeating Portuguese side Benfica in Amsterdam …”
It was there that a colleague added a little treat to the end of her script, and the host couldn’t help but read all the way to the end.
See the hilarious prank in the video below.
