Bear photobombs live TV report about bears
During a live KTLA segment about a bear incident in Monrovia, a black bear wandered into the background behind reporter Erin Myers. The bear declined to give an interview.
“And yes, we all see that bear up to the right side,” KTLA’s Megan Telles said during the broadcast before tossing back to Myers. Audible gasps and startled “whoa!” reactions from newsroom staff could be heard in the background as the bear wandered into the live shot.
When the camera returned to Myers, the bear was seen walking near a large trap placed in the driveway of a home in the 700 block of Oakglade Drive.
“You can see the bear actually walking into the trap, or no, it was going to, but now it’s walking out,” Myers said while stepping back from the scene.
To the bear’s credit, it displayed excellent on-camera timing and better composure than most cable news panelists.
