CNN segment goes wrong when Savannah Bananas star’s backflip goes bad: ‘Oh, Jesus’
Kate Bolduan’s reaction during a live CNN broadcast pretty much summed it up.
“Oh, Jesus,” she shrieked.
She had just witnessed Savannah Bananas baseball player RobertAnthony Cruz attempting a backflip. He face planted instead.
“That never happens,” Cruz said in the awkward moment following the failed stunt on CNN News Central Thursday.
The camera cut back to a surprised Bolduan.
“That – that what you just saw there, is a brand new twist on America’s favorite pastime,” CNN co-host John Berman said.
After going to a break, Berman returned to say Cruz was fine. However, he didn’t return to the broadcast.
