During her live report from the bustling Maryland State Fairgrounds, Lisa Robinson was poised for a smooth handover back to the studio. All was set, with one minor exception. In an unexpected twist, she unintentionally directed her words toward the turkey leg she held, mistaking it for her trusty microphone.

The newsroom erupted in laughter at this fowl yet funny blunder, and in no time, the amusing mishap made its way across the web. While it might have initially left Robinson a tad red-faced, she quickly embraced the humor in the situation, even taking a bite out of the turkey leg for good measure as she continued her lively State Fair report.
