Welcome to watch Mojo and today we're counting down our picks for the top 10 live TV disasters.

Well, I'm gonna have to stick to the basics with you.

The floor is a little hard here and I don't want you getting hurt for this list.

We'll be looking at broadcasting snafus and goofs that occurred on live television.

Which of these disasters would you not want to be caught in?

Let us know in the comments below number 10 milli Vanilli ruined their own careers.

German, R and B Group Milli Vanilli were extremely popular in the late eighties, winning the Grammy Award for best new artist and scoring five top five hits in the United States, But everything started crashing down on July 21, 1989, during a live performance on MTV, their hit song Girl.

You know, it's true, began to skip indicating that they had been lip sinking.

I wanted to die furthermore, A man named Charles shaw came forward and declared that he'd sung on their debut album, not the credited Fab Marvin and rob pilatus.

This accusation, plus the disastrous live tv performance eventually culminated in the truth, More vin and pilatus were imposters.

The two performers involved rob pilatus and fab more been released, a statement claiming they were actually prevented from singing by their own producer.

They were fired by music producer, frank Therrien and Milli Vanilli quickly disappeared from the public consciousness.

We were famous.

Now we're infamous, just like that.

Number nine BBC interviews the wrong guy.

This could very well be the funniest blunder ever seen on national television.

On May 8th 2006.

Tech expert Guy Cooney was scheduled to interview live on the BBC concerning a recent court case involving Apple.

However, the staff mixed him up with Guy Goma, a business graduate who happened to be interviewing at the BBC on the same day.

Guy Cooney is the editor of the technology web site News Wireless.

Hello good morning to you.

Goma was ushered on stage, quickly wired up and soon launched into a live interview with host Karen Bowerman.

Big surprise.

Goma tried his best to answer the questions but it was very obvious that something was off, especially considering the shocked reaction that Goma conveys at the beginning of the interview and the worst part of it all.

He wasn't even hired.

This does really seem to be the way the music industry's progressing now that people want to go onto the website and download music.

Exactly.

You can go everywhere.

Number eight, the balloon boy hoax live tv is fascinating.

You can follow a national news story in real time and you can also watch it deflate in an instant on october 15th 2009 the country watched and raptured as a gas balloon floated through the air with a six year old boy supposedly trapped inside.

What you all see right there is an experimental aircraft that inside of which is a six year old boy.

However, the boy was later found in the attic of his home prompting allegations of a hoax.

This was seemingly confirmed during a live interview with Wolf Blitzer when the boy said his family quote did this for the show.

We did this for the show.

Yeah.

A law enforcement affidavit later concluded that the parents had planned the hoax in an attempt to drum up interest for future media interests.

The Heene family continues to deny that it was a hoax.

It was never a hoax.

Not once, not ever.

Number seven Steve Harvey's famous Bungle Steve Harvey, maybe a consummate professional, but he will always be remembered for a simple bungle.

At the conclusion of Miss Universe.

In 2015, Steve Harvey declared Colombia's Ariadna Gutierrez the winner.

However, he awkwardly bumbled his way back on stage and told the crowd that he'd messed up.

Guiterrez was actually the first runner up and the Philippines pia Wurtzbach was the real winner.

The first runner up is Colombia Harvey had gotten confused while reading the results as first was located beside Guitar's name.

The mistake made headline news became an internet sensation and continues to haunt Harvey to this day, this is exactly what's on the card.

I will take responsibility for this just 14 months later, Warren Beatty and faye Dunaway took some of the heat off Harvey by announcing the wrong Best picture winner at the 89th Academy Awards number six, The infamous Super Bowl fiasco, an infamous piece of tv history occurred on the night of february 1st 2004.

Also known as super 38.

As everyone knows Justin Timberlake, accidentally ripped off the outer layer of Janet Jackson's shirt while performing a dance move briefly, revealing her breast and Nipple Shield.

This instigated a national discussion, the likes of which has rarely been seen before or since.

It was front page news across the country with some calling it an indecent act of american immorality.

Each CBS station ends up having to pay fines, could reach the millions Janet Jackson ended up blacklisted by many radio stations and television music channels.

It also led to the creation of Youtube and added the term wardrobe malfunction to the Merriam Webster's dictionary.

Talk about an unforgettable halftime show.

Do you think people were too hard on you?

I think they were, I think they did put all the emphasis on me.

Number five flaming arrows.

Can you promise you won't be mad at me if I kill you.

Sure promise that during a live quarterfinals performance on America's Got talent stuntman Ryan stock swallowed a steel rod with a target attached to the end.

This target poked out of his mouth and was supposed to be shot with a flaming arrow by his fiancee Amber Lynn walker.

This seems like a bad idea, not only from a safety standpoint, but a live tv standpoint as well, A stunt like this can go catastrophically wrong and it nearly did the flaming arrow ended up pegging stock in the throat, causing him to grimace in pain and quickly pat away any potential flames.

The judges and audience watched the stage in silent worry before host Nick Cannon assured everyone that stock was okay.

Number four anthea Turner's terrible accident.

Back in the late eighties tv presenter anthea Turner was hosting a live Children's program called Up to You.

Turner was on location reporting on a pageant conducted by the british armed forces and anthea while she's got the roving eye down at the royal Tournament in L.

A.

A motorcycle stunt was planned for Turner's story but miscommunication resulted in a horrible accident as Turner was sitting on the back of a truck, the pyrotechnics exploded in her face and set her on fire.

The person who was queuing the motorbike mistook my cue to speak as the queue to ask the motorbike to fly out to the back of the van and of course I'm still sitting on the tailgate families watching from home were understandably shocked and frightened as they did not know the extent of Turner's injuries.

She ended up suffering numerous burns and temporary hearing loss and she successfully sued the BBC a few minutes ago, you might have just seen something a bit dangerous happened to anthea just here to say she's okay.

She's just gone to first stage and she's gonna have a nice, she's got some shock.

Number three, the World Series earthquake.

The 1989 World Series is perhaps the most famous of the modern era.

Not because of the games, but because of what happened before one.

Shortly after the pregame ceremony began for game three, the Loma Prieta earthquake struck san Francisco's candlestick park, interrupting the video feed and distracting sportscasters, tim McCarver and Al Michaels viewers at home were met with loud static, a technical difficulties, graphic and the creepy sound of screaming fans, luckily no one within the stadium was injured despite its extensive shaking.

In fact, the game is credited with saving lives as people usually on the roads were either at the game or watching from their homes.

It took a while for it to settle in before everybody really realized what had taken place.

Number two, Richard Belzer is choked up back.

In the mid eighties, actor Richard Belzer hosted a cable talk show called Hot Properties to promote the first WrestleMania.

Belser hosted the events marquee stars, hulk.

Hogan and Mr T Belser asked Hogan to demonstrate a wrestling move so Hogan put him in a chin lock.

However Hogan took the bit a little too far and ended up knocking.

Bells are unconscious, Would you just tell me brother when you wanted to quit squealing?

He then dropped the limp to the ground causing his head to hit the floor.

Belzer played it off after waking up, but it was obvious that he had been hurt.

All right brother and now we'll be right back after this word from, you know who Belser required nine stitches on his head and later sued Hogan for an undisclosed amount.

He bought a farmhouse in France with the proceeds, which he named Shay Hogan.

I feel really bad about the situation.

Richard asked me to demonstrate a professional wrestling hold and that's exactly what I did before we unveil our number one pick here are a few honorable mentions, Kanye West interrupts Taylor swift, arguably the most famous thing to ever happen at the V.
