Earlier this year, he attempted to introduce a story about Cardinal George Pell, however the auto prompt continued to scroll and he asked audiences to "bear with" him while they got to the correct place.
Once it stopped he read out: "Still come at midday we are showing no mercy - no we're not," before quickly going to a commercial break.

Erin Speedy was reporting on multiple fires which broke out in Christchurch's Port Hills overnight in March when she said the fire had reached a new area.
"It had burned both sides of the ridge line at Coopers," she said before pausing and sighing.
"At Coopers ... At Coopers Knob," she stumbled.
Greg who?

The reporter confidently called the driver his mate before introducing him as Brazilian race driver Ayrton Senna.
"Close! I am Greg Murphy, actually," he said to the camera.

"Well the Crown's case comes down to this - that George Pell's victim should be believed," he said.
Meanwhile as he spoke a woman in a cap and sunglasses held up a pretend microphone as she mimicked every word Whitten said and bobbed her head along as she spoke.
'Funny You ask'
The Cafe was doing a segment on coffee art when an innocent rude remark left them laughing on-air.
"Hayley don't lose your head please, keep control," urged McLean.
At the end of the game, Tame declared: "Just a quick PSA there: Hayley said, 'What the cluck' and we apologise for that."
Toni Street's 'boobgate'
Toni Street experienced an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction on Seven Sharp that has left the New Zealand public very confused.
Talking about the ordeal on-air with co-hosts Laura McGoldrick and Sam Wallace, Street explained: "When I was on Seven Sharp I put on an outfit with my dear stylist and it looked fantastic standing up …"
"But when you sat down there were two darts underneath my breast area that ended up looking like big old saggy nips."
Wallace pointed out that the awkward placement of the darts did make Toni's bosom appear "udder-y".
Street agreed, adding: "It looks like I had giant breasts with these giant nipples and I feel like I have to clear up that they were not my nipples!
"There are still people this morning saying 'ah I hate to point this out but your nipples are really big and saggy' … No, they're not mine!"
Thankfully, Street could see the funny side of it all, saying "I love it when my boobs get talked about. In fact, I think this is the first time it's happened, so it's great times."
Mark Richardson accidental outing
In October, Richardson apologised on The AM show after he outed co-host Ryan Bridge's sexuality on live TV and radio.
The AM show hosts Amanda Gillies and Richardson were discussing collector's items when Gillies asked Bridge if he collected anything.
But before he could answer the question, Richardson butted in and said "ex-boyfriends" - leaving Bridge, who has never discussed his sexuality on-air, scrambling to respond.
Following Richardson's gaffe, Bridge came forward to confirm he is gay, saying he never spoke about it because it's "not that interesting".
"Yes, it's true, I'm gay. There we go, it's out there. God that was awkward."
