An economist took live television interruption to a new level on Saturday when an insect flew into his mouth during a CNN interview about the U.S. economy.
University of Michigan professor Justin Wolfers was analyzing labor market data with CNN anchor Omar Jimenez when Wolfers accidentally swallowed a fly mid-interview. He was describing the U.S. labor market as “The Little Engine That Could” and noted it was “not earning an A+ in anyone’s book, but it does seem remarkably resilient so far.”
