Reporter freaks out on live TV over large flying bug

The heat might have been extreme but so was his reaction.

San Diego weatherman Brad Willis was reporting on the extreme heat in southern California when a flying bug interrupted his live cross.

The Fox 5 reporter freaked out mid sentence when the large insect strafes him in his shot, causing him to grimace and bellow loudly.

"What is that?" he asks in a cowardly scream, running out of shot. "Because it's hot outside stuff like that happens."

Then he asks: "Was that live? Are we live? Oh brother." Before going back to reporting the weather.
