ABC News Now, the 24-hour Internet-only news network, became famous when anchor Merry Miller "interviewed" Holly Hunter. Now, another on-air gaff, except this time it wasn't the network's fault. Greg Allgood from Proctor & Gamble, discussed the importance of safe drinking water, and demonstrated one technique for filtering dirty water, filled with dirt and worms, into safe, drinkable water.

Except he, um, drinks from the wrong cup. Ew. Clip below.

Merry Miller does something almost (but not quite!) as humiliating than butchering her first-ever live interview with Holly Hunter. She dropped by The View (Yes, totally embarrassing, but that's not the most shameful part) gabbed with the ladies about her television debut, and slid in, ever so casually, that she used to date the founding purveyor of scripted reality television.

[Merry] Miller said yesterday she has a lot in common with Hasselbeck. "She was on 'Survivor,'" Miller said, "and I went out with Mark Burnett."

OMG, total twinsies! Meanwhile, Mark Burnett? Ew! Though you'd have thought dating him would have given Miller a couple venereal diseases useful insights on how to play to the cameras and adhere to a script while still acting completely natural. Apparently, however, you'd have been very, very, hilariously wrong. [via SoupCans]

Last week we were just kidding when we said "Tragedy Is Hilarious!" ABC News Now's anchors, however, would never joke about that. Herewith, a montage of clips featuring Ryan Owens and Taina Hernandez giggling at the news desk. [bigboss969696, via]
