Today Show Host Apologizes After “Wardrobe Malfunction” On Live TV

Today Show host Savannah Guthrie recently issued an apology for a “wardrobe malfunction” that occurred during a live broadcast from her home. While juggling work and childcare, Guthrie accidentally wore her blouse backward, and she humorously shared a picture of the blouse’s tag scratching her chin on Instagram. This mishap was likely due to her early morning schedule.

Guthrie’s experience isn’t unique among media personalities working from home. BBC reporter Liz Beacon, for example, had to use electrical tape and clips to secure her dress after a zipper mishap just before going on air. Journalist Fiona Willan also made headlines when she forgot to put one arm through her gown for an event, a mistake that was widely noticed.

Due to the ongoing pandemic, it remains uncertain when Guthrie and others can return to traditional studio settings. Guthrie’s dedication to her work prompts reflection on whether viewers would have noticed the mistake if she hadn’t mentioned it.
