Hot Wet Vomit Action on Live Swedish TV
On Swedish TV, the show must go on, even if you're blowing chunks. Late night television presenter Eva Nazemson was hosting a phone-in game show on Sweden's TV4 Plus when a bad patch of menstrual cramps got her hurling.
Ever the professional, Nazemson stepped off camera ever-so-briefly and then returned, not only explaining herself but finishing the call she had taken before the nausea hit. Unfortunately, the guy's answer was wrong, but at least he got to be part of Swedish television history.
This article gives Nazemson's plucky perspective on the whole affair. Something to keep in mind -- while the longest extended version of the video we found runs only about a minute and a half, the lovely-even-after-vomit Eva stayed on the air for two hours after the initial spewage.
If this had been American TV, they'd have cut to commercial and had Kelly Ripa halfway home in a limo by the time Mrs. Butterworth's syrup hit the plate. Those Swedes have a hell of a work ethic.
