Shock on-air resignation plunges Kyle and Jackie O show into chaos
The Kyle and Jackie O Show has been thrown into disarray after a key player in the production announced their shock resignation live on air.
On Friday, one of the show’s producers unexpectedly quit in the middle of the broadcast, shocking the radio hosts.
Kyle and Jackie O were presenting their show as normal when their producer Kayla, who uses they/them pronouns, made the bombshell announcement.
Upon hearing the news of their departure, Kyle was so shocked by it he spilled the coffee they were handing him onto the computer, short circuiting the system and taking them off the air.
“It’s Friday and the radio show is half broken,” Sandilands shared.
“We're in a weird studio because I knocked coffee all down the computers. Non-binary Kayla came in and gave me the very sad news,” he later told listeners once the technical difficulties had been resolved.
“They're abandoning us to live their own life. As they were handing the coffee over I grabbed it and was in such shock I spilt it all over the equipment.”
Sandilands and Henderson said they didn’t know what was going on as equipment kept beeping and going off left, right and centre, and the second studio they were moved to “also failed”.
“It wasn’t just you with the coffee Kyle, something crazy is going on here,” Henderson said. “None of our studios work, the sensor machine is beeping … it’s just crazy.”
The shocking incident pulled the show off the airwaves for more than an hour, as technicians were called in to fix the coffee-covered equipment.
They were eventually let back into their original studio but were sat among “wires everywhere”.
“It’s like we’re on M*A*S*H,” Henderson joked. “We’re in an army tent and we’ve got some little box here that’s apparently broadcasting to air.”
