KTLA reporter Rachel Menitoff appears on screen remaining composed during a live broadcast after a large cockroach lands on or near her neck and crawls across her while she is reporting. Multiple outlets describe the incident as happening during an on-air segment from Sherman Oaks in Los Angeles. Several accounts say Menitoff was reporting amid an extreme heat alert when the insect became visible during the live report. Viewers react to the unusual moment as the reporter continues speaking on air while the cockroach moves across her chest and neck area. Fox News and other reports frame the clip as going viral, emphasizing that Menitoff stays calm while the cockroach crawls over her during the broadcast. Other coverage describes the moment more directly as a “disgusting” or “nightmarish” occurrence, but the core details are consistent: the reporter is live on TV, a large flying cockroach appears on her during the segment, and she continues the report despite the unexpected disruption. The reports do not indicate any injuries in the accounts provided.
