I haven't seen it posted on the web yet, but today Thursday the 22nd TV One news presenter Melissa Stokes was apparently pranked.

At the opening of NZ TV One midday, at noon, Melissa read these news item introductions off the teleprompter.

"More about the enduring argument: marmite, vegemite or potatoes chips on your toast."

[Melissa grimaces]

"And who said maths is boring. We’ll show a numbers genius, who digs monopoly..."

[Melissa grimaces again]

", and strip tease … I have a feeling this is not our news bulletin."

She seemed pretty angry the rest of the broadcast.

I noticed TV One has not posted the episode on the "on demand" web site.

If it wasn't a different channel, I'd guess it was Jono and Ben prank, messing with a news presenter.
