Escaped with his life and his reputation. thank god the surveillance was there because that was pretty much my evidence that i just didn t demolish a whole shelf. as for why the shelf collapsed, that s as mysterious as the qualities of a fine wine. there was nobody standing near the shelf, nobody physically stocking it. it just fell on its own inexplicably. i just think it was one of those things, it s a one-time thing. in all the years we ve never had a disaster like this happen. it could be worse. at least only security cameras are rolling in the wine shop. our next big break happens on live tv. this is a one-of-a-kind piece. it s a jaw dropping moment for a show host when an irreplaceable an teeblg smashes to pieces. oh. you can t do that. i can t do that. you can t do that. how can you do that. in this hour the fun stops. it s the day after christmas 2002 and 29-year-old tech tv ....
[ bleep ]. as he was forming the sound, i started to get nervous. he went from that into the s-word. i guess if you re going to change up swear words, that s a better way of going. stunned, chris tries to move past the accident. that does happen every once in a while. that can t be good. now, are you done with that then? yeah, i m done with that. all right. it s an awkward moment to say the least. i didn t know what to do. i couldn t walk over and hug him, i mean, that s not really the i don t think that s the social gesture for when someone breaks a priceless artifact. do we have any guesses as to what s under the rock? chris may have moved on to the next topic, but almost immediately the show and tell moment becomes an online treasure. two days after this live event, i was sitting in a cafe. a gentleman walked by and he looked at me and he said, i just ....
Host chris perillo is in the middle of an 18-hour live programming stunt. the marathon call-in show has been going smoothly, especially considering this is chris first time being on air so long. but when he interviews this hard drive expert, things fall apart. he brought a handful of devices and recording apparatus mechanisms to show off. something that would be good for tv. this is the world s first rotating media. you can see it s an edison record. they were made one at a time. as the guest shows him an antique recording cylinder. there s no other one like this particular one in the world. chris notices something s amiss. when the camera zoomed in on his hands, you can see that he was shaking. just moments later, disaster. see these pieces just scatter like millions of pieces. followed by a huge tv no-no. ....
Looked at me and he said, i just saw you in a video on the internet. it was you and an old guy and then he breaks it and he cusses. this was back in 2002 before youtube. the cylinder breaking isn t the only segment from the telethon that will catch fire on the internet. several hours later it s chris self-control that shatters. hey, what s so funny?
