Channelling Ron Burgundy

Yesterday saw Nine’s sports news reader Ken Sutcliffe experience an autocue failure in the middle of a news bulletin.

Sutcliffe was clearly channelling his best impression of Anchorman’s anchorman Ron Burgundy as he threw to reporter “two-way boxes” who apparently was live at AFL house:

For Dr Mumbo’s money it’s a wonderful TV gaffe but sadly not quite in the league of ABC breakfast presenter Virginia Trioli’s autocue fail from 2010 where she tells viewers “I’m Michael Rowland” and then keeps going without skipping a beat:
