Saying the show must go on when you make a mistake live and actually doing it are two different things. Credit to QVC’s Toni Brattin for pulling it off like a true professional. As a result, she gave the internet a gift.

Brattin told TMZ of her viral blooper that she was hoping the producers were going to switch to another camera. That would have been helpful, but when it didn’t happen, she powered through.
