CNN anchors Brianna Keiler and Boris Sanchez went all in on Monday when reporting on the solar eclipse, with the pair so far that they donned sun and moon costumes while anchoring the network’s Eclipse Across America coverage.
“This is either the best idea or the worst idea,” Keilar, dressed as the moon, said to the camera as the costumes were revealed.
“Set aside all journalistic credibility, we’re having fun today,” Sanchez, dressed as the sun, said.
The CNN anchors then re-enacted what is supposed to happen during the eclipse with Keilar moving in front of Sanchez.
“The moon will be going in front of the sun, Boris-Sunchez at this point,” Keilar said as she shuffled around Sanchez.
The pair reported on Monday from Indianapolis, Indiana and their costumes were just one part to CNN’s eclipse-focused coverage.
CNN correspondent Rosa Flores, reporting from Kerryville, Texas, presented a report where the Kerryville mayor said she checked her “my magic ball” and saw clear skies ahead.
Flores then came on screen with a scarf on her head and presenting the mayor’s supposed magic ball.
Keilar and Sanchez had fun before pretending it was Halloween. Sanchez joked before the costume reveals that he was threatened with “physical violence” if he didn’t refer to the eclipse as a “Bri-clipse.” Keiler jokingly nicknamed him “Boris Sun-chez.”
Jim Acosta also used Donald Trump as a “visual aid” to warn against people looking directly at the sun, pulling out an image of the president looking directly at the sun in 2017.
