Hilarious Encounter Unfolds When 2 Local News Crews Run into Each Other in New Orleans: 'Is This Live?'

Mar. 15, 2025

A news team from Philadelphia just pulled the equivalent of a quarterback sneak on a reporter from Kansas City.

Then, to Holley’s seeming surprise, her co-anchor got up from his seat and went outside to effectively photobomb Eden’s standup.

“Go Birds!” Jerrick said to the camera.

“Oh, we’ve got a friend from Philadelphia!” Eden, looking stunned, then said, while congenially offering Jerrick a handshake.

“Is this live?” he asked, adding: “Hi, Kansas City!”

Holley then got in on the action — and the journalists shared that they all had special connections to KC and Philly.

Jerrick revealed that his first job in the industry was in Kansas City, while Holley said that she went to the University of Missouri, about two hours east of Arrowhead Stadium.

Eden’s special link to the City of Brotherly Love? Her husband used to work at the airport in Philly, she said.

As the banter began to subside, the trio went back to their respective rooting corners.

“But we’re still Birds fans, sorry,” Holley said.

“That’s okay,” Eden replied. “You guys have your team, we have our team, we’ll see the best team win on Sunday.”

Earlier in their exchange, Jerrick shared that they had been “stuffin’ our faces with beignets,” when they noticed the Kansas City crew.

Eden replied in a show of good sportsmanship, “That’s something that can bring us all together."
