Hydrate to Articulate: Aengus Mac Grianna – The blooper reel

Over the next few week's we'll be bringing you the best news bloopers from around the world that should remind news anchors to hydrate before they articulate...

If you’re an actor you’ll know that fluffing up your lines can be annoying, but as a live broadcast news anchor, fluffing up your lines or getting caught in an unprofessional light can be downright mortifying. Take the first of our unfortunate new anchors, Aengus Mac Grianna.

Most of you will already be familiar with Aengus, the man who brings us the nightly news, and his rather funny bloopers. Yes, there are more than one.

His most recent blooper saw him being caught off guard as he waited for the cameras to start rolling and after we stuck it up here on JOE it quickly went viral. It even made it onto the Jimmy Kimmel show...

Previously he had some trouble remembering Roman Abramovich's name...

And he had trouble on the anniversary of the moon landing...

Maybe Aengus should keep a bottle of water close by in the future, just in case he needs to hydrate before he articulates...
