Sean Hannity Caught Off-Guard During Live Broadcast, Thinking Cameras Were Off
Fox News host Sean Hannity found himself in an unintentional viral moment when he was caught using a vaporizer during what he assumed was a commercial break.
The unexpected on-air mishap offered viewers a rare, candid glimpse of the usually composed television personality.
Hannity appeared to misjudge the timing of his show’s return and took a quick puff from his vape before realizing the cameras were live.
Once alerted by someone on set, the host swiftly set the device aside and continued the program without missing a beat.
The incident quickly became a source of amusement among his colleagues, with fellow Fox News host Laura Ingraham leading the playful banter.
During her segment, she jokingly referenced Hannity’s on-air blooper while sipping from a water bottle.
“Oh wait, am I on camera right now?
Hi!” Ingraham quipped, mimicking the casual mishap.
“It happens to the best of us, Hannity.
These little moments are what make you real — they’re adorable.”
The lighthearted teasing reflects the camaraderie among the network’s anchors, with Ingraham adding that such unscripted moments make Hannity more relatable to his audience.
The clip of the incident has since gained traction online, delighting fans and sparking conversations about the increasing popularity of vaporizers.
While many use them for nicotine products, vape devices are also commonly used for cannabis consumption in states where it is legal.
Moments like these serve as a reminder that even seasoned professionals can have their unscripted, human side captured on live television.
