Comedian and Youtube personality Alex Stein pulled off a legendary disruption of an NBC live broadcast at the Texas State Capitol.
While NBC News was attempting to deliver their sanitized, corporate-approved version of events happening in Texas, Stein jumped into the frame and blasted the network on its own turf, shouting:
“MSNBC sucks! MSNBC sucks! MSNBC sucks! MSNBC sucks!”
Thinking the disruption was over, MSNBC’s Kelly O’Donnell tried to move on with the segment, but boy, was she wrong.
“You can see the frustration. Sometimes this happens, and we understand that that can happen. While we love free speech, we’re going to keep control here,” said O’Donnell.
Stein roared back to life, shouting again and forcing the hosts to backpedal on-air.
“Stay with us here because Ryan has cleared the set, as we would like to say. The gentleman moved on. So, Ryan, let me turn back to you. Nicely handled there… [Pause] Hmmm, maybe not.”
Shortly after his now-viral takedown, Stein took to X, writing, “I just crashed an MSNBC newscast at the Texas State Capitol… let me know if you see it on your tv.”

He followed up with a mic-drop statement that left no room for doubt, “MSNBC is the saddest excuse for a “news” network and telling them they suck on their own airwaves feels fantastic.”
