Meteorologist Gets the Living Hell Scared Out of Her in Live TV Prank

Local news can be fun sometimes. Sometimes it can be scary. This week a local Michigan station combined both of those things for an amazing prank they pulled on meteorologist Kelly Smith.

See, Smith has a fear of spiders. And yesterday was National Face Your Fears Day.

Take a guess what happened.

Yeah, instead of the graphics they were supposed to throw behind her on the green screen, they put up footage of spiders instead to scare the bejeezus out of her. And just when you think it’s done, nope! They do it again!

See, this is why everyone’s fears should be R-rated, so they can’t put it on the news.
