With the advance state of technology, quarantine has seen an array of jobs move their staff to working from home, including live news reporters for Good Morning America. And, you know what? They don’t wear pants while working from home, either.

Have you had to do Zoom calls since quarantine has forced us from our offices? Do you typically just get ready from the waist up, as no one is going to see the other end of you, and we all know that working while being pant-less is such a great freedom?

Well, you’re not alone, as it’s not only us office workers who are taking our home-bound freedom to a new level of nakedness – a reporter from Good Morning America took to reporting the news from home, and didn’t seem to realise that the camera wasn’t zoomed in enough on the top half of his body.

That’s right, it caught a glimpse of a reporters underpants and upper thighs. Now, it’s not like he wasn’t prepared for his interview – he donned a very professional outfit from the waist up, including a button down top and suit jacket. However, from the waist down, he was just sporting his jocks.

Reporter Will Reeve was chatting with the morning news about a segment on pharmacies, and their use of drones to deliver prescriptions to patients when he appeared on camera.

Taking to Twitter, Reeve accepted his fate to the viral views his news report had received, and saying “we’re our own camera operators these days when we broadcast from home” with an embarrassed emoji to finish off the tweet.

Although he has rebutted, and sworn that “they’re shorts” alongside a facepalm emoji, he has noted that the more he looks at the image that’s making its way around the internet, “the more thigh” he sees.

So, even though we’re all doing the no-pants-only-dressed-from-the-waist-up routine, let’s learn from Reeve’s nationwide mistake, and make sure we check, double check, and triple check our camera angle before going on any work-related video chats while in our undies.
