People Who Threw Up During Live TV Interviews

Our last entry once again comes to us via our Nordic friends, this time from Swedish TV presenter Eva Nazemson. Nazemson’s chunderous eruption didn’t happen when she was doing a face-to-face interview, however, but a phone interview. Strictly speaking, she spurt out some brown goop during a game show and the person calling was a contestant. This happened way back in the internet heyday of 2007, proving that vomitous TV expulsions aren’t a thing of the recent past.

As the clip shows — and this time we’ve got someone’s helpful, manual Swedish-to-English translation to guide us — a guy named Niklas had just called up on the phone. Nazemson asks him for an answer to a trivia question, and blam: Cue the burst of gastric chum. Nazemson steps away, there are some sounds of liquid spattering on the floor, some heavy breathing, and then she strolls back into frame confident as ever. And lo and behold, much like our last entry, this time we’ve also got feminine issues to blame for the attack. “I must tell you this,” she explains, “I have menstrual pains … it’s live … and anything can happen.” Too true, Eva. Too true. 

Nazemson then apologies, laughs a bit, carries on the show, laughs a bit more, good-naturedly apologies again, and that’s it — no harm, no foul. So what’s the ultimate lesson here? We’ve got no clue, except that maybe you should wear a vomit shield if you ever do a TV interview.
