Let's all learn from the 'GMA' reporter who went on air without pants

Uh oh...we see bare legs.

When working from home it's extremely tempting to wear comfortable clothes 24/7. Unlike that stiff Los Angeles Times op-ed, we are pro-sweats and pajamas all day, but one Good Morning America reporter's unfortunate pants-less video chat should serve as a cautionary tale to anyone living in loungewear.

Since many people have to call into virtual video meetings throughout the week, dressing the top half of your body in professional attire and wearing whatever pants you want has become a common quarantine practice. But when Will Reeve, an ABC reporter, who called into GMA on Tuesday, tried to wear half a suit on the air, things didn't go very well.

As Reeve was discussing how pharmacies are using drones to deliver prescriptions to a retirement home in Florida, it became very clear that he wasn't wearing pants to go along with his suit jacket. Oops!

Reeve's lack of pants is slightly noticeable at the start of the segment, but it becomes impossible to ignore by the end. You can clearly catch glimpses of Reeve's bare legs when he's chatting with host Amy Robach, along with some dark boxer-looking shorts.

If you watch Robach's face towards the end of the segment, it seems she eventually noticed Reeve's lack of pants. And a bunch of viewers at home did, too.

Reeve seems to be taking his "hilariously mortifying" viral fame in stride, and he event tweeted a few acknowledgements of the mishap. When BuzzFeed News reached out to Reeve for comment, the reporter also replied, "Let me get dressed and I’ll get back to you soon 😂," so at least he's in good spirits.

While Reeve's wardrobe malfunction was a much-needed laugh, it should also serve as an eye-opening moment everyone who takes part in video meetings. Next time you decide to wear half an outfit, be sure to triple check that your legs aren't in view of your webcam.

Here's the full segment from Good Morning America.
