'Very Serious Journalist' Suffers Absolutely Cringe On-Air Moment

A radio present host appeared greatly surprised after a White Home correspondent left him a clumsy “I like you” message on the finish of an look on Thursday.

RealClearPolitics’ Philip Wegmann, whereas signing off from Chris Stigall’s present on the Washington-based station WMAL, uttered the phrase after the host addressed his report on Mike Pence’s presidential marketing campaign launch.

“Thanks, Phil, very a lot. Nice to catch up,” Stigall mentioned.

“I like you. Thanks,” Wegmann responded.

The “I like you” seemingly caught the host off guard, as he questioned whether or not he heard the reporter appropriately.

“Did I simply hear Philip say he liked me? Did he suppose he was speaking to his spouse for a minute?” Stigall requested.

“I’ve by no means had a visitor really say that in closing. ‘I like you.’ Sorry, Phil. I’m married. That is very uncomfortable.”

Wegmann later defined on Twitter that he was texting along with his mom and slipped up blurting “love you too” aloud as his interview got here to an in depth.

“I'm a really critical journalist,” Wegmann wrote.

Stigall, later in his present, burst out laughing earlier than he knowledgeable listeners of the reason.

“He texted an expletive after which mentioned ‘I used to be studying a textual content from my mom,’” mentioned Stigall as he continued to chuckle.

“It’s alright, Phil, I'm a married man, however I like you, too.”
