Sports radio host Gregg Giannotti suffered an embarrassing moment on Friday after accidentally showing a photo of a naked woman live on air.
Giannotti, who hosts a morning radio program in New York City with Jets legend Boomer Esiason, was speaking with both the ex-football player and anchor Jerry Recco on the show when he made the awkward blunder.
While reading out a text he’d received, he told Esiason and Recco: ‘Then all of a sudden he goes, can you order me this when you get a chance? And it’s a naked woman with giant breasts.’
After drawing laughter from Esiason, Giannotti then turned his phone around to show Recco the picture without realizing that he was in perfect view of a camera live streaming the show on CBS Sports Network.
WFAN radio producers quickly cut the audio while the trio laughed at his mistake, before Giannotti tried to continue with his story when it came back.
He then stopped to look back at his gaffe on a nearby monitor, while saying: ‘I was trying to show Jerry. Yeah, [you see it] for two seconds.’

Recco joked that a producer behind the scenes ‘had a stroke’ after Giannotti showed the nude photo on camera.
Fans were highly amused by the viral moment on social media, with one simply writing: ‘Incredible’.
Another joked: ‘Poor guy is about to have a very bad weekend. The new job search begins on Monday.’
While a third put: ‘I like how CBS thought the audio dump button was going to dump the video’.
Giannotti has presented ‘Boomer and Gio’ with Esiason since 2017, following the former NFL star’s previous show with TV personality Craig Carton.
