The gaffe provoked comical reactions from the show's pundits with Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards, and Thierry Henry bursting into hysterics.
Carragher, who even dropped to his knees during his fit of laughter, clung to the top of the pitchside desk as he joked: “We're all gonna get sacked. Are there any jobs going on Fox?”
Henry walked out of the shot with his head down, while Abdo also turned her back to the camera before returning with a regretful look on her face.
“I'm so sorry, the teleprompter had just kind of risen up a bit and I apologize,” said Abdo, who has been a member of the CBS Sports family since August 2020. “I'm about to get fired. Pete I am so sorry.”
