Robin was announcing what was coming next from the news show – which included the story of an with-year-old's attempt to climb Yosemite's El Capitán – when the crew began having camera issues.

As the host, who was on the screen, joked about her pronunciation of Yosemite, Sam is heard saying: "Good morning Robin, how is it going out there?"
