No one can deny the fact they have made goof-ups at work! While we all make errors during an additional workload, there are certain jobs that are always demanding. One of them is live reporting. You wouldn’t want to be caught styling your hair with spit or contacting a dead man for comments in front of a live audience. That would be super embarrassing, wouldn’t it?
Well, things took a hilarious turn for a North Carolina TV reporter when he accidentally left a face filter on while reporting live. Justin Hinton was reporting about the first snowfall in Asheville when he accidentally switched on the Facebook face filters, reports New York Post.
Have a look at the funny outcome:

The entire time, Hinton was unaware of the multiple face filters that appeared on the screen, changing his look during the entire weather update. His various animated looks included a space jet pilot, weightlifter, and a wizard among others. However, soon people started commenting on the live video and Hinton realized the blunder, reports Indian Express.
“Wait, Misty, did I have a weird face?” a flabbergasted Hinton asked a colleague off-camera. “Oh, there are special effects on the phone,” he added after a long pause.
Hinton’s innocent goof-up garnered a lot of views and comments online:
But Hinton took the hilarious mistake in stride. “If you can’t laugh at yourself, what’s the point of laughter?” he wrote in a Facebook post explaining the mishap. “It still makes me laugh.” Well, honestly his innocent mistake surely gave us a hearty laugh. So, thanks Hinton!
