This happened more than a week ago, but it's taken me this long to stop laughing and get down to blogging. (Plus, I was on vacation, but that's TMI.)
Julissa Ortiz (pictured at left), filling in as co-host on the weekend edition of "Good Day Sacramento" along with Taryn Winter Brill, decided to read some viewer e-mail on the air. She was going along fine, reciting platitudes from an admiring viewer, when she stumbled upon a polysyllabic word that threw her.
"I'm a ...," she read, pausing and furrowing her brow. "I'm a Flay-Bow-Mat-Toe-Bist in Davis and --"
Oritz turned to Brill and asked, "Is that right? What's a Flay-Bow-Mat-Toe-Bist?"
Brill shrugged.
Ortiz: "Maybe someone will call in and tell us."
After a commercial break, Ortiz came back on the air and said, "It's phlebotomist. I feel like such a dork."
Brill: "Contray to popular belief, we anchors are not perfect."
