Ridge did manage to keep a straight face through the hilarious slip up, only furrowing her brow in shock for a split second before recovering.
And, just as expected, Twitter embraced the blooper with open arms.
Both Ridge and Dugdale laughed off the awkward start to their interview, with the journalist revealing the team in the gallery weren't as professional about it.
Dugdale praised herself, for keeping a straight face.
The video, which was originally shared by Buzzfeed reporter Jamie Ross, has since been retweeted close to 6,000 times.
Ridge's accidental slip of the tongue comes soon after ABC newsreader Natasha Exelby made worldwide headlines for her on-air blooper.
The journalist almost jumped out of her chair in early April after she was caught daydreaming and staring at a pen on air.
And, while Exelby scored plenty of attention for not paying attention, there was one Channel Seven anchor who was spared the same level of interest after she dropped the F-bomb on a live news broadcast, less than a day after.
Channel Seven's Adelaide presenter Jessica Adamson was caught swearing on April 10 after she thought her microphone had already been turned off.
"Ahead on Seven News ... exclusive details on funding cuts that it's feared will cost lives, and the Big Ben cover-ups: why its famous bongs are about to fall silent," Adamson said, before dropping the explicit word.
With the speed these bloopers have been shared, it's unlikely Ridge will be the last journo to start trending for the wrong reasons.
