[Asia Economy Reporter Sumi Hwang] A local US broadcast experienced a live news mishap, during which the weathercaster's cheerful handling of the situation drew laughter from viewers, local media reported on the 12th (local time).

According to the media, on the 11th, a technical error caused a broadcast accident during a live weather forecast on Fox 9, a local station in Minneapolis, Minnesota. When the graphic screen froze during a transition, a delay occurred, and the weathercaster Jennifer McDermed appeared multiple times on screen as if performing a cloning trick. Jennifer checked the screen and laughed live on air, saying, "I have no idea what's going on."

Seeing her duplicated images, she joked, "Jennifer one, Jennifer two, Jennifer three. Which one would you like?" She also walked across the screen, creating a 'train' of Jennifers lined up, and even danced.

Afterward, Jennifer mustered all her willpower to barely hold back laughter and finished the weather forecast. She apologized for the broadcast accident, saying, "I can't even handle myself, so having ten of me gave me a headache."

That day, anchor Randy Meyer closed the broadcast by saying, "Whatever button was pressed, don't ever press it again."

The video later spread across various social media platforms, with netizens responding enthusiastically, saying, "The weathercaster's response was delightful," "I laughed while watching the weather," "Much better than stiff news," and "Lively and professional."
