A Canadian journalist just proved that the show must go on until someone says cut. Farah Nasser, anchor of Canada’s Global News accidentally swallowed a fly while presenting the news live. The video that went viral shows, that Farah was speaking about the flash floods in Pakistan when she stopped for a brief two seconds as she swallowed the insect. She resumed speaking and finished her segment. The news presenter shared the video on Twitter.
“Sharing because we all need a laugh these days. Turns out it’s not just Doug Ford, I swallowed a fly on air today. (Very much a first world problem given the story I’m introducing),” tweeted the news presenter. She also referred to a similar coincidence that happened last month with Ontario Premier Doug Ford, who swallowed a bee live on television.

The internet hailed the sporting spirit of Farah. “I knew something was BUGGING me about your coverage of that story but I didn’t have time to INSECT it further. You handled it like a pro, especially since you were LARVE on TV,” one wrote.

Another user wrote, “Tuning in tonight to see if you do the only correct thing to do now, which is obviously to swallow a spider that wiggles and wriggles and tickles inside you.” To which Farah quipped and replied, “Next obvious step.”
