I'd forgotten all about Niall Horan on the Jonathan Ross show. The other one I've never seen before. Both very good. You can see their desperation.
If you're in a group of people on live TV you must be absolutely bursting to have to speak up about it!
You'd think this must be really rare, but thinking about it I can recall several other incidents we've all seen on video or heard about. Maybe the links are here somewhere.
(1) US weather forecaster having to leave his live weather forecast because he can't wait.
(2) Spanish language sports program with one presenter in the studio and another on the live link somewhere else, talking about football or something, and the guy on the live link has to go and pee leaving the other presenter in the studio with no-one to talk to.
(3) Contestant on a game show, also Spanish language I think, who actually wets himself and makes a puddle on the floor of the studio in front of the live audience. You see the presenter after that totally at a loss for words, hand over her mouth.
(4) Lee told us about a presenter in a group of other presenters on British Breakfast TV who was told by the camera crew, while they were off camera for a short time, to stop fidgetting about because it was hard to keep him in the shot. He explained he was desperate to pee. They told him to just wet himself so that he'd be able to carry on sitting still and they'd make sure only his face was in shot. So he did.
(5) I remember watching the UK news satire program "Have I got News for You" (comedy) when Russell Brand was one of the panellists. Half way through Russell Brand stood up and walked off, saying that he had to "pee badly". No-one joked about it, and the guest presenter Alexander Armstrong was visibly annoyed.
Does anyone have some of those clips or links to hand, or remember other incidents of guys having to pee while live on air?
