All animals poop. And sometimes, when the cameras are on, manners are discarded, and animals poop on live TV.
In a pregame segment before the U.S. women’s national team’s 2023 World Cup opener against Vietnam in New Zealand on Saturday (Friday in the U.S.), FOX brought a marsupial onto its live set in Australia. The goal of the segment was to have Maddy the pademelon pick a World Cup winner. The choices were the heavily favored USWNT, or the rest of the world.
But as Maddy was being introduced by her handler, the camera zoomed in on the marsupial.
And then, Maddy pooped.
In front of Stu Holden, Heather O’Reilly and the world.

Perhaps it was stage fright for the tiny marsupial, or just a good shot-on-target.
