Kerryn Johnston's Canberra gaffe goes global

We didn’t think there was much in it, but the one eye has observed WIN Newsreader Kerryn Johnston’s moment of fail going global and now even the mighty Daily Mail has picked up the story:

A news reader was left embarrassed after a clip of her warning viewers that she is ‘going to sound like a drunk’ during a late night bulletin was aired by mistake.

A technical glitch meant that viewers of the Canberra news show were shown Kerryn Johnston uttering a throw away line pretending to be drunk after stumbling over her words during a rehearsal.

Instead of hearing the expected professional greeting from the presenter once the opening credits had rolled, Ms Johnston was heard to say: ‘Good evening, tonight I’m going to sound like a drunk.’

Some real quality coming out of Wollongong.

I really don’t think it’s that much of a big deal. In fact, if this sort of thing happened more often, I might watch WIN News more.

A storm in a beer cup!

Well, things are really looking up for WIN Canberra news now!

The Canberra version of WIN News may have been poorly produced at times, but I never saw anything this embarrassing on the local version.

Hmmm. You’ve forgotten this?

Haven’t watched Channel 9 news since they announced it was leaving Canberra and never intend to again.
