Local Reporter Interrupts Live Report To Tell Enthusiastic Boy: ‘Stop Waving’

I see the following clip as a sort of paso doble between a local television reporter and a rather enthusiastic onlooker.

At the beginning of the footage, the reporter, who is busy interviewing a man about shopping at lower Manhattan’s South Street Seaport, all but swats a young man away when he gets too close to her and her interviewee. He, being apparently mesmerized by the camera, doesn’t seem to mind. Undaunted, he tries again, waving happily behind the reporter.

Overjoyed, he does it yet again. But by this point, the reporter had quite enough and would just like to complete her report without incident.

“Alright,” she says, “if you could stop waving for a second, we’re going to show that building back there.”

Is she being a grinch, or does she deserve props for taking control?
