GREAT MOMENTS IN BROADCASTING: Apparently some of the people “Family Feud” is surveying these days would be a better fit for “Dysfunctional Family Feud”!

On Monday's ‘Feud’, the two families were asked for, quote, "something an airline pilot might be holding during a long flight.” While “Control/Gears” and “His bladder” were obvious, it turns out three out of the 100 people surveyed had their mind in the gutter.

Check out how they answered below. The shocked and disgusted look on one of the contestant’s face is an added bonus!

GREAT MOMENTS IN BROADCASTING: C-SPAN’s phone screener got owned Tuesday morning after putting through some guy on their early morning show Tuesday asking New Hampshire’s Republican Party chairman Wayne MacDonald what he thought of presidential candidate Mitt Romney’s down there parts!

The prankster started off with what seemed like a legitimate question, but then suddenly veered left and asked MacDonald what his thoughts were on Romney’s penis size! The screener hung up on him immediately, but it took the embarrassed, obviously rattled, C-SPAN host a second or two to regain her composure.

GREAT MOMENTS IN BROADCASTING: A reporter for a Pakistani news channel -- clearly exasperated by the pushing and screaming all around him as he attempts to do a live report on New Year's Eve, finally does what many a field reporter has only dreamt of doing: punch out one of the revelers.

GREAT MOMENTS IN BROADCASTING: While droning on and on during a TV appearance, a distinguished-looking English fellow gets attacked by a wind-swept plastic bag that flies in out of nowhere.

2011-12-05T10:39:00.001-07:00

GREAT MOMENTS IN BROADCASTING: Robin Robinson, a Fox News anchor in Chicago, straight up told viewers to stop trying to convince their kids there’s a Santa Claus. And yes, she actually said "There is no Santa" on live TV.

It happened last week after they ran a story on mall Santa’s and the number of expensive Christmas presents kids are asking for from them.

"Stop trying to convince your kids that Santa is Santa," Robinson said. "That's why they have these high expectations. They know you can't afford it, so what do they do? Just ask some man in a red suit. There is no Santa." Watch her ruin Christmas below ...

GREAT MOMENTS IN EL PASO BROADCASTING: Estela Casas and Rick Cabrera were caught horsing around while recording a promo during a “Nightline” commercial break.

Cabrera is heard referring to Jorge Torres as “Albert Torres”, and seconds later as “the short one”. Listen below as Rick and Estela have a good laugh before the boo-boo is discovered and the audio cut off …

GREAT MOMENTS IN BROADCASTING: If you were watching the end of the Broncos-Chargers game yesterday afternoon, you may have noticed San Diego’s kicker Nick Novak doing something strange on the sideline.

The game, by the way, did come down to a field goal. A field goal Novak ended up missing

2011-11-12T08:47:00.001-07:00

GREAT MOMENTS IN BROADCASTING: A Russian news station recently aired a report about a stripper contest. After showing video of sexy, scantily clad girls dancing, they cut back to the anchor, who quickly pulled his hand from under his desk, leading many on the web to wonder just what exactly his hand had been doing down there.

Now, I personally want to give this guy the benefit of the doubt, like, maybe he was scratching his leg or something. But his arm flies up so fast, and the look on his face is the look of one who’s been caught with his hand in the cookie jar -- so to speak – that I can’t help but think he was , dare I say, touching himself!

And what’s with that thing he does at the end?

2011-11-07T10:42:00.000-07:00

GREAT MOMENTS IN BROADCASTING: Stanley Roberts is a reporter in San Francisco known for his segment called 'People Behaving Badly' where he films people in their worst moments.

After threatening to break the camera, he repeatedly insulted the news reporter, calling him everything from “non-relevant” to a "fat a**” Watch the reporter get owned below …

And here’s the Elmo shirt guy in all his unedited glory. WARNING: Language has not been censored:

GREAT MOMENTS IN BROADCASTING: Mike Jerrick, a Philadelphia morning TV host on FOX 29, recently interviewed Kim and Kourtney Kardashian via satellite about their new clothing line. After the segment was over, Jerrick did little to hide his disdain for them.
