CNN anchor forgets to shut off mic before going to the restroom

Posted by Adam on August 30th, 2006

Remember the hilarious scene in Naked Gun where Leslie Nielsen forgets to take off his mic after he makes a speech, and then everyone in the place hears him taking a leak? Well, I’m thinking the boys over at CNN thought about that scene yesterday.

On Tuesday, while CNN was showing footage of President Bush giving a speech, the audio that viewers heard was anchor Kyra Phillips in the CNN ladies room. You can hear Phillips talking to another CNN staff member, hear her zipping up, listen to her chat about her family and even insult her sister-in-law. It went on for several minutes before they finally cut away the audio to another anchor.

Last night CNN sent out an apology.

Watch the video, with her audio, below.
