When you get to see bloopers on the news, it’s just the best! We are all lucky that the cameras are rolling when mistakes happen on live TV!

Doing the news live is a great was to get the most up-to-date information. But, when you do it live, you leave yourself open to errors and faux pas. We love a good collection of news bloopers, they are just the best! Especially to Dave, who has had his fair share of mispronunciations and mistakes live on the air. It’s helpful to know that you’re not alone!

We found a video with some of the best news bloopers of the year! From one anchor soliciting the news station’s Tinder account (which we assume doesn’t exist) a weather man who slipped up and referred to himself as a “hot lover” while talking about a warm weather front.

One anchor has a moment of double embarrassment when she not only has to admit that she has to stand on a box behind the anchor desk, but also the fact that she nearly fell off of her box while live on the camera.

Everybody’s favorite inflatable dinosaur costumes make an appearance behind a field reporter while she was doing a story about holiday travel at the airport.

Of course, there are moments of plain and simple equipment failure, including one weather man who had to mime his way through a report when his microphone failed to work. You know that we have experienced our fair share of technical difficulties at our own show, it’s nice to see others having the same issues.

Our favorite might just be a veteran news reporter who does her impression of a turkey live on the air! We have to admit that the impression is dead on, but it may look like she is gobbling something else at the same time. (Probably not the best choice to make live on the news).

We’re not throwing stones, we have more than our share of difficulties, but who doesn’t love to see the best news bloopers every year? Enjoy these and we will keep our eyes open for more to share with you as the new years moves forward!

These 8 Movies Turn 20 in 2024

2004 was a fantastic year for films across all genres. The ten highest-grossing films in the world that year include Shrek 2, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Spider-Man 2, The Incredibles, The Passion of the Christ, The Day After Tomorrow, Meet the Fockers, Troy, Shark Tale, and Ocean's Twelve. Though the majority of the films selected below didn't make the top ten world box office, we included hits that are either long-forgotten or classic gems.

The Best of 2004

In 2004, there were a lot of films in the romantic genre that have set a precedent in its category. The Notebook, 13 Going on 30, and 50 First Dates all premiered this year. The early 2000s would be nothing without apocalyptic movies about the future, with films like The Day After Tomorrow and I, Robot. Family-fun films also were in abundance in 2004, with The Polar Express, Napoleon Dynamite, National Treasure, and The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.

Wes Anderson, Hayao Miyazaki, Peter Segal, Sam Raimi, and Steven Soderbergh all had amazing offerings this year. Anderson released his fourth film, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Hayao Miyazaki's seventh Studio Ghibli film, Howl's Moving Castle, remains one of our top three films of all time by the director. Segal directed the Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler romantic comedy 50 First Dates this year, with another Sandler film the year before: Anger Management. Meanwhile, Sam Raimi made his last good Spider-Man film with the sequel. Soderbergh's Ocean's Twelve wasn't nearly as awesome as the first installment, but we found ourselves thoroughly entertained when the heist flick came out twenty years ago. No matter what type of movie is your go-to, 2004 has a movie out there for every walk of life that we find ourselves going back to today.

Take a look below at our top eight picks of the best movies that came out in 2004:

13 Going on 30

This movie taught us how to do Michael Jackson's "Thriller" dance! We fell in love with Mark Ruffalo with his role in the film as Garner's long-lost love interest, and it is just one of those feel-good movies that'll get a couple tears out of you with every re-watch.

Howl's Moving Castle

Christian Bale stars as our beloved wizard, Howl. The actor agreed to play any role in the Miyazaki film after watching 2001's Spirited Away. During the recording, Bale was preparing for his role as Batman in 2005's Batman Begins.

White Chicks

We couldn't tell you how many times we watched this hilarious film starring the Wayans Brothers, but when we can recite almost the entire movie, it has to be a lot of times. You either hate or love this movie, but Terry Crews reciting Vanessa Carlton's "1000 Miles" has got to be one of many pop culture moments captured in the film. He even did that scene in just one take!

The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou

Bill Murray stars as the titular character, Steve Zissou, who is based on real-life underwater filmmaker, Jacques-Yves Cousteau. Murray was so invested in his role, he became a certified diver, logging over forty hours during filming. Life Aquatic remains one of our top three favorite Wes Anderson films of all time.

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind

Though this movie is beautiful, funny, and heart-wrenching, it is one that you watch just once. Seeing Jim Carrey in a serious role alongside Kate Winslet was a perfect match. The film explores the idea of someone erasing you completely from their memories.

National Treasure

Nicolas Cage became our national treasure after this action-adventure flick came out. Watching this movie as a kid filled us with wonder about our country, with Cage stealing the Declaration of Independence. Cage is a self-proclaimed history buff and acquired a 70-million-year-old dinosaur skull in an auction that cost him $276,000. The artifact turned out to be stolen in 2015 and had to return it to the Mongolian government.

50 First Dates

Upon our first watch of 50 First Dates, we had no idea how much it would tug on our heartstrings and make us cry every time we'd hear "Wouldn't It Be Nice" by the Beach Boys. Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler gave The Notebook a run for its money this year, and we'd have to pick this film over the Nicholas Sparks story.

Spider-Man 2

After Spider-Man 2, Sam Raimi dropped the ball with the third installment. However, we got much enjoyment out of this sequel which sees Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man face off between a new villain, Doc Ock, played by Alfred Molina.
