| Reporter goes viral on 'GMA' |
It turns out, there may be a downside to quarantine making us all super-casual dressers.
An ABC reporter went viral after a video call appearance from home on the "Good Morning America" Tuesday morning, during which he wore a regular dress shirt and buttoned suit jacket on top, but appeared to be lacking a pair of pants underneath.
Reporter Will Reeve, the son of late "Superman" star Christopher Reeve, conferenced in to "Good Morning America" to discuss a story about drones beginning to deliver medication in Florida. Camera framing and digital graphics made it appear as though he was fully dressed in the beginning of the segment. But toward the end, his bare legs began to show onscreen.
"I have ARRIVED... in the most hilariously mortifying way possible," Reeve joked after photos of his appearance went viral online.
He went on to explain that he had started to get ready for "a post-GMA workout a little too soon," and is now rethinking his morning routine.
"Any sartorial tips from (online commenters) who are wearing a belt, trousers and shoes during their work video calls at home are most welcome," he wrote on Twitter. "Now, back to work. Wearing pants."
He added: "Hope everyone got a much needed laugh."
As coronavirus forces TV hosts across the country to forego their fancy studios, many are making do with stripped-down versions of their shows at home. Aside from camera quality and variety suffering, the lack of wardrobe and makeup teams are giving many broadcasts a more casual feeling.
Seth Meyers has been wearing button-downs in place of his regular suits. Trevor Noah has gone with a different hoodie every day. CNN's Chris Cuomo alternates between button-downs and t-shirts.
Katy Perry, meanwhile took at-home fashion to a completely new level: The pop singer appeared on the first at-home edition of "American Idol" in a hand sanitizer costume.
