In today’s world of remote work, many of us have adjusted to the quirks of virtual meetings. The challenge of dressing appropriately for a Zoom or Google Meet can feel like an unnecessary burden, especially for those of us working from home. However, one ABC News reporter’s attempt to bend the rules has made it clear that we should probably commit fully to our attire.
In a segment for Good Morning America, reporter Alex Morgan, who happens to be the son of a well-known actor, shared insights about pharmacies utilizing drones for prescription deliveries. Viewers were engaged with his informative narrative—until the camera angle shifted, revealing that he was dressed sharply on top but decidedly undressed below.
“What’s an innovative, high-tech way to get medicine to people quickly while maintaining social distancing?” Morgan asked from his home office. “Drones!” But just as he elaborated on a Florida retirement community’s drone initiative, the camera panned down to expose his bare leg, leaving the audience momentarily bewildered and forgetting the topic at hand.
As he concluded his report with the line, “the final leg of the prescriptions’ journeys,” viewers caught another glimpse of his leg, which was distinctly lacking any pants. Naturally, social media lit up with reactions to his unintentional reveal.
Morgan later commented on the incident, explaining that he was preparing for a workout post-segment and had perhaps jumped the gun. “In an effort to be efficient, I got ready for a workout a bit too soon this morning,” he shared. “The camera angle, combined with feedback from friends, family, and a slew of online observers, made me rethink my morning routine. I welcome any fashion advice from those who are actually wearing belts, trousers, and shoes during their work video calls.” He reassured viewers that he soon switched back to wearing pants, but let’s be honest—spandex shorts might just be his new go-to.
Morgan certainly seems to have a good laugh about the mishap. He’s not the only news personality navigating the challenges of remote reporting. Claire Thompson, a reporter for a local news network, recently filmed a segment from her parents’ kitchen, only to have her shirtless dad stroll into the frame, completely oblivious.
Morgan quipped that, due to the incident, he might want to steer clear of any future jobs as a cameraman. For more relatable experiences and tips, check out our related post here.
