WATCH: MSNBC Guest’s Son Dragged Off by His Sister After Hilarious Attempt to Derail Interview

Editor’s note: This post has been corrected to reflect that Gessen’s preferred pronouns are “they/them.”

As the world continues to cope with life under quarantine, we’ve seen how cable news has put a renewed emphasis on interviewing people remotely, and how that occasionally leads to hilariously awkward moments where family life collides with work from home.

Masha Gessen came very close to having that happen, though fortunately, it didn’t derail their interview on Sunday with MSNBC.

Gessen beamed into MSNBC Live: Decision 2020 to talk about their new book the dangers of autocracy and how it threatens the United States. However, during their segment, one of Gessen’s children followed the family dog into the room where they were conducting the interview, so he decided to start waving his hands and moving around behind them.

Gessen’s daughter came into the shot shortly after, and she dragged her brother away before the interview could be completely interrupted.
