News reporters have rarely had it so rough: dealing with annoying drunk bros waving in the background, being body slammed by politicians and, now, being attacked by a damn flying cockroach during a live shoot.

The intrepid Mary Beth McDade of KLTA in Los Angeles recently faced just that: a flying cockroach that landed squarely on her chest.

"Aaargh Jesus! Oh god!" she yelled just seconds before going on air.

"Hang up. I was coming to get it, but I didn’t want to feel you up," a helpful crew member said. And who said chivalry was dead!?

Thankfully, the plucky local news babe has emerged from her creepy run-in unscathed. Stay safe out there, people.
