  I know this is kinda controversial to mention, but Budd Dwyer shooting himself live was about as permanent a resignation that you can get.

  I was in the entertainment industry for years, starting as a wee girl. The first thing I was taught, at just 6, was to ALWAYS assume the mic was hot. Even if I was off stage, it was treated as hot. You can&apos;t know for sure if the sound guy has muted your mic.

  “As there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos it’ll be a home run.” That wasn’t the last time Nick hit a home run during an on air apology 😂

  Smith really went out in the most respectable way for such an erratic and insane workplace

  A classic. Joey Bishop leaving his talk show right after his monologue, leaving his sidekick Regis Philbin to take the helm.

  Let&apos;s not forget the time that, live on-air during a game against the Detroit Red Wings in 1993/1994 in which he let in 9 goals, Montreal Canadians goalie Patrick Roy told then-head coach Mario Tremblay that &quot;I&apos;ve played my last game in Montreal&quot;. He was traded to the Colorado Avalanche less than a week later.

  You forgot Connie Chung. &nbsp;She was abruptly fired for lying to a guest she was interviewing.

  Mal Walden - HSV7 Melbourne Australia evening newsreader for eight years, sacked minutes before going on air in 1987 by the new Sydney based owners. &nbsp;Mal professionally completed the entire program until the end , finishing off with a teary heart felt farewell to his viewers. This caused an angry backlash from now previous loyal viewers across Victoria. It also led to public protests, staff walkouts and a plunge in news ratings to an unprecedented zero. His immediate move to the TEN Network brought a record news rating of 40% market share - the equivalent of one million viewers a night.
