I've done a couple of live broadcasts. Once, I goofed the very beginning words, but they immediately cut it and quickly told me that "live" meant a 12-second delay, so start again in 2, 1, "NOW!" ... I did and it went out okay. Dodged a bullet, so to speak!

That isn't always the case, though, even today: I did the countdown to midnight on New Year's Eve, once... NO delay on that; everyone's clock was on the same time! Fortunately, that went fine.

There are some really funny bloopers and unexpected events from newscasts around the world, posted on YouTube. Just search "bloopers" and similar words, and you'll find some.
