This is certainly one way to boost ratings! On Sunday night, CNN correspondent Brian Stelter was in the middle of a very serious interview with Jessica Dean regarding Donald Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against the Wall Street Journal over Jeffrey Epstein drama. It looked like Stelter was right there in the CNN studio... Until a little helper blew his cover to reveal he was actually broadcasting from home!

Dean and Stelter carry on until the end of their convo, when the host addresses the kid-sized elephant in the room: "Alright, Brian Steleter, thanks to you. And I think you had a little helper with you, too, so give our thanks to him." The 39-year-old responded:: "I apologize for my 5-year-old. It's bedtime here at the Stelter house." HA! Dean smiled and assured him there were no apologies necessary: "We're a family show, it's always nice to have some extra hands." That's so sweet!

"Don't worry..NOBODY saw it" "I hope you gave him a cut of your fee" "That's cute. Love seeing anchors as real people." "Honestly, who needs bloopers when you've got live chaos? Keep the surprises coming - at least it's more entertaining than the news today." Stelter himself even chimed in to reflect on the viral moment: "LOL, yes, I tried my best not to break out laughing when he snuck into the camera shot." Cute! Reactions to the viral moment?
