  • It's been an odd week for online gaffes at Fox News. A few days after Fox News host Greg Gutfeld sang I gotta pee while he was unknowingly on live television, Sean Hannity made a similar, although arguably less embarrassing, gaffe. On March 18, 2021, a video started circulating on social media that supposedly showed Hannity smoking a Juul, an electronic cigarette, before realizing that the show had returned from a commercial break: This is a genuine video from a live Fox broadcast. The on-air flub quickly became fodder for Hannity and Laura Ingraham. When Hannity was joined by Ingraham, the Fox News host took a sip of water and joked, Oh wait, am I on camera right now? The Hill reported: Interestingly, this is not the first time that a video supposedly showing Hannity smoking an e-cigarette has gone viral. In September 2017, Harry Shearer, one of the voice actors from The Simpsons, posted a 40-second clip that supposedly showed Hannity smoking an e-cigarette. This video, however, did not show content that had aired live to Fox News viewers. While details are a little scarce, it appears that this video shows Hannity after tossing to another segment. Viewers at home saw a different set of images, but Shearer, who also works for Fox, got his hands on this unaired clip via sources and methods and posted it to Twitter: In a since-deleted tweet, Hannity said that it's NOT real, apparently referring to the fact that this was an e-cigarette, not a real cigarette, and then added that the e-cigarette company NJoy was an advertiser on his radio show.
