Members Actor87 Posted August 31, 2006 Members Share Posted August 31, 2006 http://journals.aol.com/thefeedblog/AOLNew...mic-is-hot/2106 How come someone didn't go get this lady and tell her that her mic was hot. I love how she's talking about some man's wife and calls her a "control FREAK!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted August 31, 2006 Administrator Share Posted August 31, 2006 "He's got 3 kids but his wife is a control freak." LMAO I would've love to be in the studio room when all of this happened to see everyone go nuts. The director and PA's in the studio should've told the audio person to cut off Kyra's mic. I don't understand how it could've went on that long. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Actor87 Posted August 31, 2006 Author Members Share Posted August 31, 2006 I wonder if she still has her job after THAT stunt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marilyn_M Posted August 31, 2006 Members Share Posted August 31, 2006 She was back on the air just a short while after the president's speech. She made an apology and went on about her business. I doubt if she loses her job. Its not like it was done purposely or anything like that.

Administrator Toups Posted August 31, 2006 Administrator Share Posted August 31, 2006 Kyra shouldn't lose her job since it wasn't her fault. The people in the studio (mainly the audio person) should've cut off her mic. It's as simple as pressing one button on the audio board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted August 31, 2006 Administrator Share Posted August 31, 2006 So there was a "problem" with the audio board and they couldn't cut off Kyra's mic. http://jam.canoe.ca/Television/2006/08/30/1786903-ap.html CNN sorry for live mic gaffe Kyra Phillips (CNN/AP) NEW YORK (AP) - Kyra Phillips, anchor of CNN's Live From, unwittingly upstaged President George W. Bush's speech in New Orleans with an on-air analysis of her husband and the marriage of her brother - all live from a CNN ladies room. Unaware that her wireless microphone was live during her break, Phillips could be heard overriding Bush's prepared address Tuesday as he was seen marking the first anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The Atlanta-based Phillips, in conversation with an unidentified woman in an echoey room, dismissed most men with a vulgar term, but called herself "very lucky in that regard. My husband is handsome and he is genuinely a loving - you know, no ego - you know what I'm saying? Just a really passionate, compassionate, great, great human being. And they exist. They do exist. They're hard to find. Yup. But they are out there." A few moments later, she observed that "brothers have to be, you know, protective. Except for mine. I've got to be protective of him." Why? "His wife is just a control freak." At that point, another voice cut in: "Kyra." "Yeah, baby?" replied Phillips on hearing her name. "Your mike is on. Turn it off. It's been on the air." CNN anchor Daryn Kagan, looking flustered, then broke into the telecast with a recap of what Bush had been saying. Phillips later apologized to viewers "for an issue we had with our mikes" and "for a little bit of an interruption there during the president." CNN issued its own official apology "to our viewers and the president for the disruption," and apologized to the White House. In a subsequent statement, CNN explained the mishap as "a technical malfunction with the audio board. We're addressing how this happened and why it was not more promptly corrected on air."

Top Ten Kyra Phillips Excuses Presented by CNN Anchor Kyra Phillips: 10. "Still haven't mastered complicated On/Off switch." 9. "Larry King told me he does this all the time." 8.

"Couldn't resist chance to win $10,000 on 'America's Funniest Home Videos.'" 5. "I was set up by those bastards at Fox News." 4.

Members JER Soaps Fan Posted September 2, 2006 Members Share Posted September 2, 2006 I have two comments: 1) I'm surprised she went on Letterman. That's very new world, Julie Chen of her. Most old school journos disapprove of news personalities who moonlight as entertainers. 2) PLEASE SOMEONE, tell me what "vulgar term" she used to dismiss men. I'm DYING to know!!
