Alligator freaks out reporter creating a hilarious live TV blooper

The local news will never stop putting correspondents into situations that will inevitably land them on the blooper reel.

Recently, WBZ in Boston decided to give sports journalist Steve Burton a live baby alligator during a taping of the show Sports Final, because nothing says "sports" like a baby gator.

During the segment, the alligator started to squirm, and Burton was a bit unprepared. Unaware of just how strong a baby gator is, the two had an awkward dance before one of the gator's handlers could get a good grip on the animal.

The words, " I am. I am. I am. I am. I am," can officially go down in TV blooper history.
