According to my brother, the camera operators are told in advance when they're going to be cut to or at least given a heads-up, so this guy assumed he was safe to use his camera basically as a pair of binoculars bc he wasn't supposed to get the focus. But the person who was switching between camera feeds accidentally cut to his camera by mistake instead of the one that was supposed to be filming, so they ended up televising what was supposed to be one man's private cockroach observation moment.
I particularly love this story because this is one of those jobs ppl tend to assume is done for passion, like of course people who film sports must love sports. But nah, this is just a paycheck for this dude. He'd rather be looking at bugs. There is something so funny to me about people in over-romanticed workplaces being like, "Yeah...I just work here."
