That’s what Today Show anchor Matt Lauer asked this morning after NBC News correspondent Mark Potter was reporting on the oil spill from Louisiana where he swallowed a giant fly during a live report. It didn’t come too much as a surprise because when Brian Williams traveled back down to anchor Nightly News from Venice, Louisiana for the 26th time, he sat in with Rachel Maddow where they were battling the bugs. Although this (and many other things) happens to correspondents almost on a regular basis it seems while reporting live, it did not deter me from my dream. Oddly, it was a little inspiring the way Mark Potter just kept on going as if nothing had happened. A real pro!
Enjoy the clip, or squirm:
Ew. Ew. Ew!! Poor Mark Potter! But he did keep going! A true pro!
I know! All the folks back home laughing in Studio reminded me of that Current TV video on Ann Curry. They’re almost evil-laughing! Haha.
Hey Cary,

Always enjoy reading your thoughts.
