LOS ANGELES — TV reporters aren't easily bugged while talking live on-air, but a reporter in Los Angeles recently took keeping cool to another level.
KTLA's Rachel Menitoff was delivering a live report about the current heat wave in southern California when a flying cockroach made an unwanted guest appearance, briefly crawling on her chest and neck and down to her microphone before disappearing.
Mentioff remained amazingly calm, not pausing for a second while delivering her story. The minute she was done, however, and informed what had just happened, she gave a long shake to make sure the bug was gone.
Mentioff's cool demeanor received praise from her colleagues, who couldn't believe how she delivered her story without even flinching.
