In the Midwest, when we have snow, some hapless reporter is assigned to go stand in it and report live while looking miserable. I've always theorized that it's a reporter who made a mistake on a previous report and this is the penalty.
And now CNN has asked a reporter to report from within the chaos of an eruption from the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii. Impressive pictures, but see if you agree with me: he looks kinda scared.
