Hey there, folks! Let’s talk about what happened when Michael Bolton, the legendary singer, had a little unexpected nap during a live TV interview. The 65-year-old star appeared on Australia's The Morning Show on Tuesday, February 5, but things took an awkward turn before he even got the chance to chat with hosts Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies. Now, I don’t know about you, but this moment was both cringeworthy and kind of funny. Let’s dive into the details!
What Went Down During the Interview?
In a clip shared on The Morning Show's official Twitter account, with the caption “Anything can happen on live TV!,” host Larry Emdur introduced Michael by saying, “As always, we’re looking forward to talking to the great man, Michael Bolton joins us now live from Florida, good morning and welcome back to the show.” But guess what? Instead of the lively conversation everyone was expecting, Michael seemed to be catching some Z’s. The camera was rolling, but Michael’s eyes were closed, and he didn’t say a word. He was supposed to be promoting his new album, A Symphony of Hits, but it seemed like sleep had taken over.
Hosts Try to Wake Him Up
“Michael, you got us OK?” Larry asked, trying to get Michael’s attention. Both Larry and Kylie started giggling nervously, probably unsure of how to handle the situation. Larry then added, “Maybe he’s just updating Instagram,” which brought a bit of humor to the awkward moment. Kylie chimed in, saying, “Michael, hi Michael, it’s Kylie and Larry, we’re with you live.” Finally, Michael spoke for the first and only time during the broadcast, softly saying, “It’s gone silent.” Can you imagine how that must’ve felt for everyone involved?

How Did the Hosts Handle the Situation?
After a few more attempts to get Michael’s attention, Kylie said, “We might have to come back to Michael,” and Larry replied with his quick wit, “It looks like he’s on Instagram, why don’t you slip into his DMs?” Kylie then suggested, “We’ll check the technical side of things with Michael … what time is it in Florida?” Larry quipped, “Cocktail time!” Their humor helped ease the tension, turning what could’ve been an awkward moment into something a little lighter and more entertaining for the audience.
What Did People Think About the Incident?
While we’re not entirely sure what caused Michael’s unexpected nap, tons of people took to Twitter to speculate about the funny situation. One person joked, “We all should find time for a ‘zen’ moment each day but maybe this wasn’t the wisest time.” Another chimed in, “Looks like [he’s] having a little nap!” It’s clear that the audience found humor in the situation, making it a memorable moment in live TV history.
Happy Ending: The Interview Happened!
Thankfully, Larry and Kylie were eventually able to connect with Michael later in their broadcast and chat about his new music. Mission accomplished, folks! It just goes to show that even the best-laid plans can hit a snag, but with a little humor and perseverance, you can always turn things around. Now, let’s hope Michael gets his rest before his next live appearance!
