VIDEO: ‘My Eyes Are Stinging!’ – CNBC Reporter Gets Caught Out Only Half-Dressed For the Office

Well this is awkward...

We all have those work days where looking smart just isn’t an option. Granted for most of us, being relegated to an office desk can be a blessing in disguise.

But what happens if we’re presenting live TV?

Following a live discussion, CNBC contributor Herb Greenberg was asked about a framed picture of his dog on a shelf behind him.

Attempting to use the camera’s remote control to focus on the framed photograph, Herb instead pointed the camera below his waist – to reveal his hidden shorts to the TV studio and audience at home.

Laughing from the studio, his female colleague jokes:

“My eyes are stinging!”

There’s a nice recovery though, with a screen shot to a view of the California scenery in the background.

In the words of Anchorman – ‘Stay Classy San Diego’
