Chat show guest suddenly dies during live filming
Filming live is always pretty risky - someone could accidentally drop the F-bomb or whip out their dick, landing the production company with a hefty fine. One thing most producers probably aren't too concerned about during filming is someone popping their clogs live on air. I mean, what are the chances?! While it is rare, it's not impossible, as it recently happened during the filming of a chat show in India.
81-year-old Rita Jitendra was a guest on Good Morning J & K with host Zahid Mukhtar when she suddenly seemed to lose consciousness, take a few gasps of breath and just keel over right there on TV. Here is the footage:
Here's what the host had to say about it:
Quote:She was telling us a few interesting things about her life and was looking absolutely normal.But suddenly she stopped talking and began having hiccups. We had to cut the interview and switch to a documentary to attend to her and take her to hospital.Rita had a great association with television and her last words were on how she had started doing the dramas.It’s shocking for us as this is the first incident in the Doordarshan history when any guest died in a live program.As part of the TV profession, we managed to run the whole programme to keep the broadcast uninterrupted.
I mean yeah, don't stop the show or anything. It's not like somebody died. Jeez, that shit is cold
