136. Dee Dee Mega Doo Doo
Year: 2018
Local Network: Local 6, Louisville, KY
Deidre “Dee Dee” Mengedoht, a Louisville Police officer, was killed in 2018 by a drunk driver while performing a traffic check. A local KY Local 6 reporter made an inappropriate mistake while reporting this horrifying story.
A blooper during a lighthearted, funny newscast isn’t that big of a deal. But having it happen during an emotionally charged story is every journalist’s worst nightmare. This newscaster pronounced Deidre as “Dee Dee Mega Doo Doo”.
