My friend Ben shared a link on Facebook that I thought was too funny not to share with all of you. Ellen Degeneres featured a short segment on mishaps involving the chyron, which occurred to such an extent in such a short time that there's nothing to do but laugh through it, and that's just what the news anchors did.
This reminded me of a conversation we had in class about all crew members knowing exactly what their job is and being in charge of a certain aspect. Clearly, the person in charge of chyron was either incompetent or there was actually something wrong electronically with the system, but it reminds us all about the importance of specialization. Sure, everybody needs to know how to do certain basics in different aspects of a production, but people also need to be very closely involved with their assigned position, and know how to instantly troubleshoot any problems that may arise, so that something like this never happens (even though this is a studio production, the lesson still applies.)

Haa! maybe the CG guy put in his two weeks it was his last day and he wanted to be silly :-)
