Cameraman didn't believe a dude's name was real, so they made up a new one
In 2018, names aren't sacred anymore, not even to news stations.
Hunter Fisher (@hunterfisher21) had the opportunity to be on live television on New Years Day, but the cameraman had a different agenda. He didn't believe Hunter Fisher can be a real name (makes sense), so decided to give him a brand new name - Benjamin Holcomb.
So much for leaving fake news in 2017.

We may never know why the cameraman decided on a name like Benjamin Holcomb, but we do know it might just be the new most popular name of 2018.
