Home Shopping Network host ruins TV with Wii accessory

Even TV hosts aren’t immune to Wii remote and accessory malfunction. On October 16, 2009, the Home Shopping Network uploaded a clip of one of their Wii sale segments to its YouTube Channel. The video is pretty mundane, initially. They’re hocking a $329.90 Wii with Wii Sports and 15 accessories. What a bargain, considering you can go to your local store and get one for $199.

Anyways, it’s business as usual until the host starts really getting into the Wii Sports tennis game. He’s doing pretty well. He’s got his tennis racket accessory clipped onto the remote, and keeps remarking how he’s doing better. He sets himself up for another flawless serve.

Then the tennis racket accessory detaches from the remote and slams into the LG flat screen TV.

Fast forward to the five minute mark for hilarity in action…
