In Kuwait, Food Delivery Partner Walks Onto Live TV Broadcast
While a morning news broadcast was being aired live, a food delivery worker was captured casually walking onto the news set.
Live television is unpredictable and unexpected events, sometimes humorous, frequently occur when cameras are rolling. Speaking of which, a surprising moment occurred during Kuwait Television's 'Ishraqah' program. While a morning news broadcast was being aired live, a food delivery worker was captured casually walking onto the news set. The unexpected interruption left the anchors visibly surprised and confused for a few seconds.
The incident happened during a live interview with historian and astronomer Adel Al Saadoun on the state-run Kuwait TV news channel. The clip shows the delivery person walking across the studio floor with a delivery bag in hand. He briefly looks around, likely realising his mistake, before calmly walking off-camera.
'A man is passing in front of us… He's a delivery worker," Al Saadoun surprisingly said during the broadcast.
'A funny incident occurred at Kuwait Television studios when a delivery person entered the studio and appeared on the live broadcast during an interview with the astronomer and historian Adel Al-Saadoun, who was not pleased with the presenter's manoeuvre and responded bluntly that this person was a delivery guy carrying orders," the caption of the post translates to.
موقف طريف حدث في استديوهات تلفزيون الكويت عندما دخل مندوب توصيل الاستديو وظهر في البث المباشر خلال مقابلة مع الفلكي والمؤرخ عادل السعدون الذي لم تعجبه (تصريفة) المذيع فرد عليه بشكل صريح أن هذا الشخص مندوب شايل طلبات. — إياد الحمود (@Eyaaaad) July 7, 2025
This unscripted interruption quickly gained traction online, leaving viewers and online users amused. The clip has sparked mixed reactions from several social media users. While many found the incident amusing, others praised the calmness of everyone involved despite the unexpected interruption during a live TV studio. There were some who questioned how a delivery worker managed to enter so easily.
A user commented, 'He came to deliver food and accidentally delivered a nationwide unscripted smile."
'Someone was too lazy to meet him at the studio entrance," added another.
With a hint of sarcasm, an individual quipped, 'Delivery till your table, sir."
'I saw a situation just like this one on the Al Arabiya news channel. I was up late watching them, and a cleaning worker came with a broom, sweeping the floor while the presenter was delivering the news," shared a user.
An account wrote, 'Free advertising for the delivery company."
Taking to social media, Adel Al Saadoun later clarified that the broadcast was conducted from a large hall at the Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research. He added that it wasn't held inside a closed studio, and that is why the delivery worker had been unaware of the live broadcast.
According to a report by a Kuwaiti newspaper, Al Rai, the Ministry of Information claimed that the technical team in charge of the broadcast had launched an internal investigation, and the studio manager had been suspended pending further examination.
The ministry highlighted its commitment to quality standards in state media and stated that it is taking the issue seriously. Officials also acknowledged that the ministry is restructuring its news sections, which would include administrative changes as well as the implementation of a new visual identity for the channel, reported the Gulf News.
