On May 21, during a live broadcast, WRGB anchor Olivia Jaquith delivered the news while in labor, having just experienced her water breaking. Instead of rushing to the hospital, Jaquith remained at the news desk, providing viewers with updates about her contractions, which were reportedly two minutes apart. Co-anchor Julia Dunn supported her on-air, keeping the mood light as they celebrated Jaquith's impending motherhood with playful graphics. This unique segment highlighted Jaquith's commitment to her job while bringing an uplifting personal touch to the news.
"We do have some breaking news this morning. Literally, Olivia's water has broke, and she is anchoring the news now in active labor," Dunn said at the top of the show.
"I'm happy to be here, and I'll stay on the desk for as long as I possibly can," Jaquith added. "But if I disappear, that's what's going on."
