Hilz Baz made it to US prime-time television on Sunday night when Last Week Tonight with John Oliver aired her famous giggling gaffe filmed on The Paul Henry show two years ago.
While co-anchoring the show, Barry burst into tears of laughter upon reading the morning headlines which included thephrase "emergency defecation situation."

However, following that story she had to read about how a Somalian plane blast killed a person on board and didn't quite manage to regain her composure in time.
John Oliver showed the unfortunate clip during a segment of his show called 'Oh no, that was entirely the wrong tone for the story you were reporting.'
While it may not have been a stellar moment for Hils' reporting career, it did give the popular US host - and his audience - a laugh, just like it did for us.
Love it, Hilary! We are not all perfect – but you are pretty darn close.
