Canadian journalist shares hilarious lesson learned during her time at CTV
Canadian journalist and comedian Ainsley McPhail completed two years with CTV and learned a huge lesson during her time there.
The Kitchener-origin presenter of CTV Morning Live took to Twitter on Wednesday to share this lesson with her followers.
“Today marks two years at CTV. I’ve learned a lot,” McPhail wrote. “Never wear this shirt in the studio is lesson one.”

Attached to a tweet is an image of her wearing what appears to be a black and white top with a striped pattern, which isn’t a faux pas at all — unless you’re on camera.
Due to interference, the shirt’s design distorts into an unfortunate albeit hypnotizing pattern. You could call it a digital wardrobe malfunction.
Being a comedian, McPhail managed to find humour in this and laugh at herself. Her followers found it mighty hilarious as well.
Best laugh 😂 of my day!!! https://t.co/pT71bEUNCl

Some people even made references to Jigsaw from the Saw movies.
Waiting for all the ‘Jigsaw’ character references to come in. 😄
Sorry! Lol

Another Canadian journalist, Winnipeg-based Michelle Bailey, replied to McPhail, recounting when she made a similar discovery during a shoot.
“I once wore houndstooth when I was anchoring. Not. Good!” she said. “Black and white patterns are a no-no 😵💫”

Whether you work in the TV industry or just like being photographed, everyone can benefit from McPhail’s honest advice about her — well — McFail.
