Brian Stelter’s son is looking to share his on-air expertise
As the CNN correspondent appeared virtually on a segment alongside Jessica Dean July 20 to discuss President Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal for an article pertaining to his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, he was joined by a surprise visitor: his 5-year-old son Story.
The media expert was able to maintain his composure as his son peeked into the frame, making it through the segment with only a few subtle facial expressions pertaining to the surprise guest.
Dean, for her part, also managed to get through the interview before slyly nodding to Stelter’s son in her send off.
“Alright, Brian Stelter, thanks to you,” Dean said during the broadcast. “And I think you had a little helper with you, too, so give our thanks to him.”
Stelter—who is also dad to Sunny, 8, with wife Jamie Stelter—took the nod in stride, adding, “I apologize for my 5-year-old, it’s bedtime here at the Stelter house.”
Later, the 39-year-old admitted it was harder than it looked to continue the interview alongside his son.
As he replied to a post on X that pointed out the moment, “I tried my best not to break out laughing when he snuck into the camera shot.”
Of course, Stelter is far from the only person to have their kids crash their appearance on the news. In 2017, Professor Robert Kelly had perhaps the most viral example of the moment when his two children burst into his home office during a live BBC broadcast as his wife, Kim Jung-A attempted to rectify the situation in the background.
LOL, yes, I tried my best not to break out laughing when he snuck into the camera shot https://t.co/JAVIlw4Cg9 pic.twitter.com/fHk3vBINQq
