During a live broadcast of Fox 2 Detroit’s ‘Good Day Detroit’, news anchor and meteorologist Ryan Ermanni lost his composure following a question from co-host Deena Centofanti. 

While discussing the History Channel survival series ‘Alone’, Centofanti asked Ermanni if he thought he could eat beaver, noting the animal is a source of fat and meat. The question triggered an uncontrollable laughing fit from Ermanni, who perceived the remark as a double entendre due to the slang connotations of the word. Ermanni eventually admitted on air that he had not been following the show being discussed.
