Watch incredible moment TV guest blasts news host as a ‘piece of s**t’ as live prank seriously backfires
A TV guest blasted a news host as a “piece of s**t” after a live TV prank seriously backfired.
On Tuesday’s edition of The Project – which airs in Australia – host Sam Taunton left his co-stars shocked as he covered his nose just as the show returned from an ad break.
Sam, 30, said: “I’m sorry, I’m feeling a bit faint. Oh my God.”
Guest Celia Pacquola was unsure if his bloodied nose was real, asking: “Are you serious? Are you pranking me?”
She then moved him out of the way so he could get cleaned up and joked he was “fired” before taking his seat.
As Sam laughed, she told him: “Seriously? You’re a piece of s**t. Is that serious?”
He then told her it was a prank, saying: “No, it’s not real! Or is it real? No, it’s not real. Does anyone have a towel?!”
As Sam got the towel and cleaned himself up, Celia asked the crew: “Is anyone else being like, ‘Is this serious?’ It’s really not serious, you’re ok.”
Sam then revealed the crew had been in on the prank too.
But Celia got the last laugh as she added once things had calmed down: “It’s good to know that in an emergency, my instinct is to step over the corpse!”
