Maria Bartiromo conducted a lengthy interview with Hillary Clinton yesterday during Closing Bell on CNBC. But for a few brief seconds, co-host Dylan Ratigan appeared on camera during one of Clinton’s answers about how to solve the mortgage crisis.
Ratigan is first shown in a cutaway looking down at a sheet of paper, and then realizing he’s on the air. 10 seconds later the control room cuts back to Ratigan for about one second as he makes a strange smiling face at the camera. All this while Clinton continued her answer, unaware of the technical snafu.
Below is the full video of the Bartiromo-Clinton interview, with the Ratigan shots starting at 1:51.
>More from an insider: CNBC control room was trying a new switcher (along with a new TD) during the Clinton interview. Not the best time to try new equipment and a new person but that is what happens.
