Viewers caught a sports anchor on live TV with an NSFW photo on his computer for all to see. The TikTok video catching the raunchy photo behind the reporter went viral.
NSFW Photo Caught On Reporter's Computer
The photo was on Jake Gadon's computer, a reporter on the CBS Sacramento news team. While live on air, the camera caught a clear image of something NSFW on Gadon's screen. It featured a woman dressed in red lingerie on an unknown website.
A user on X shared this hilarious video of Gadon's slip-up and captioned it "Jake's 2025 is off to a fantastic start."
Netizens managed to track down the photo, which ended up being a photo of Rihanna on her Instagram. Still, the photo is inappropriate to have on your computer screen during a news segment. We're unsure if Gadon was intentional with this, or if it was a total accident.
Nevertheless, the online reactions to this post were shocked yet amused. "I'd say Jake's got pretty good taste," one comment wrote.
Many came to the reporter's defense, despite not knowing how Gadon would be reprimanded for this mistake. "Jake did nothing wrong," someone said. Gadon has yet to make a statement online after the awkward incident.
The original video on TikTok reached an even higher audience with nearly 200,000 views and over 17,000 likes. Its 800 comments were mostly filled with jokes.
"You know, he got a phone call right after this broadcast I bet his wife was fuming," the top comment said.
Others weren't as impressed with this slip-up. "What an HR nightmare that will be," another wrote, "totally inappropriate for the work space."
According to his LinkedIn, Gadon has been with CBS Sacramento for just over two years as a Lead Sports Anchor. Before that, he worked with KOAA5 as a Sports Director and Weekend Sports Reporter.
Even when his bosses inevitably find out about this scandal, he may laugh about his time in the spotlight later on in life. Although he didn't probably go viral the way he'd like, Gadon will remember to check what's on his computer next time he's on air.
