We've all thought about doing something weird for our 15 minutes of fame. On that note, Australian Georgia Knoll just entered the annals of the "most endearing impromptu news appearance of all time."
Journalist Scott Linden was wrapping up his segment "Street Talk" for 7 Local News Mackay when his camera person started giggling. As Linden asks, "Is someone there?" with the nervousness of a man who has been ghosted on live television before, Knoll stands behind him in the frame, adjusting her hair and eyebrows for the big moment.
Knoll, invited to share the screen with the journalist, seizes her moment to deviate from the usual acts of peculiarity that go with dropping in on interviews, to just say hello to her mum and dad.
On the 7 Local News Mackay Facebook page, Linden said that he had been doing the segment for close to 10 years and "this was the most memorable Street Talk of those 400 or so."
