It's important as a broadcaster to remain professional, no matter what happens. But every once in a while, something strikes you as funny, and you just can't hold back the laughs.

Everyone who works in broadcasting has experienced this at one time or another. And, honestly, if I had just seen the name of this pig, I would've lost it. But this particular story had a serious edge to it, as the pig is in a wheelchair and serves as an inspiration to children who similarly are confined. So a measure of dignity and respect was probably called for. And this anchor falls short as he dissolves into giggles.

There's something to be said for reviewing your script before you're live on the air. Although, in this case, I'm not sure it would have helped!
