Reporter Stayed Calm As a Roach Crawled All Over Him During a Live Broadcast
Robert Kovacik, a reporter for NBC Los Angeles, managed to stay calm during a live news segment on Thursday night in which he shared camera time with a cockroach that probably just wanted to be on TV. To his credit, Kovacik did not let the attention-whore bug ruin the shot. As any good top model would know, the best thing to do in this situation is kiss the roach, but if that's not an option, staring straight ahead works just fine too.
After the shoot, Robert tweeted about his "new pet":
Robert Kovacik @RobertNBCLA #NBCLA: Thanks viewers for noticing the "guest" in our live shot!. Any names for my new pet?

That's nothing. Two giant cockroaches climbed into the Whitehouse in 2008 and have been nesting there ever since.

If the human ear could hear in the 37kHz range, you would have heard the tiny "Baba Booey! Baba Booey! Howard Stern's Penis!" before he skittered off...

@HeavyMetalRules If you think that's bad - try having one crawl across your face while you're sleeping
NOT a nice way to wake up

Better charge that roach with assault, isn't that the way it's supposed to go?
