Having an anchor walk into frame to start a show or segment is a great way to give a newscast a high energy feeling — but it also comes with some pitfalls.

CCTV anchor Wang Mangmang was doing just that to open “Asia Today” on the network’s English language channel. As the show starts and the announcer’s voice is heard, you can see her walking very briskly across the studio.

It all looks great until one of her high heel shoes flies off and goes careening across the studio.

Wang did appear to notice her missing shoe briefly, but, like a true pro, just kept going.
