An irate TV reporter threw a tantrum (and his notepad) on live TV when he botched a line during a report.

It’s not know if Gordon Boyd forgot he was live on WVLT TV– but the watching studio host sure looks surprised by the outburst.

Boyd had been reporting on the trial of a child killer in Tennessee when he stumbled over one of his lines and missed a word.

When that happened, he screwed his face up and in an act of frustration hurled his notepad at the floor.

Cameras quickly cut to the studio where a bemused anchor blamed it on “technical difficulties” — we guess ‘technically’ he messed up and got angry.
