News anchors are, by-and-large, sturdy and unflappable types, imparting the day's events to their viewers with all the gravitas that task demands.
It's therefore intensely gratifying when a newsreader loses her cool and surrenders to a giggling fit on live TV, as CTV Winnipeg News Anchor Maralee Caruso did over the weekend.
Ms Caruso was presenting an item on Thomas Thwaites, the British designer who was awarded an Ig Noble Prize over the weekend for a project that saw him spending three days living as a mountain goat - sporting prosthetic appendages while co-habiting with a herd of the animals in Switzerland.
As the clip shows, Ms Caruso had just started narrating a clip of Mr Thwaites on a mountain with the goats when her voice started to crack.
As the clip continues, her voice gets higher and more strained - until, by the end of the spot, she's in tears of laughter.
