Miss America 1989, Gretchen Carlson on TV's Bloopers & Practical Jokes. As the new Miss America, she was invited on a news program to introduce a segment about which she'd received no briefing. It turned out to be a set-up for a prank on TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes. When the cameras went live, her hosts walked out, forcing her to fill 15 minutes of dead air with impromptu commentary. Her poise earned her several calls from agents after the show aired, asking if she'd be interested in a television career. Today she is host of 'The Real Story' on the Fox News Channel.
