Rant: That news blooper where the anchor froze and said 'I'm a potato' instead of moving to the next segment

I saw two different edits of that same clip floating around one where the producer yelled cut and another where they all just lost it on air and I'm wondering which version is actually the real blooper and which one was staged for views what do you guys think?

Wait, wasn't there a whole breakdown on some media forum where a guy who used to work at that station said the raw tape had the anchor covered in sweat before the potato line even happened? I remember reading that comment section and people arguing over whether the guy was just trying to stir up drama for attention or if he actually had access to the master file. Either way, I kind of think the version where the producer yells cut is the real one because it sounds too natural and awkward to be written. The other edit feels like someone spliced in a laugh track for views, which is just sad.

Used to think it was staged but saw the raw feed and nope.

My cousin swears the same thing after he watched three hours of unedited footage last winter.
