Imagine this: You’re live on TV, reading the morning news, and boom—your water breaks. Most folks would sprint to the hospital. Not Olivia Jaquith. This CBS6 Albany anchor kept it cool, stayed on air, and delivered the news for three more hours—while literally about to deliver a baby.
It all went down around 4:15 a.m. on May 21. Olivia was just about to start the morning broadcast when she felt something… different. Turns out, her water had broken. But instead of panicking, she told her co-anchor, Julia Dunn, and they decided to roll with it. Julia even joked on Facebook Live, “This isn’t April Fools. Olivia’s water broke in the newsroom.”
Olivia, two days past her due date, laughed it off, saying, “Early labor, early labor. Let’s not get carried away.” She figured, why not finish the show? So, she did—timing contractions between segments and keeping viewers updated. The broadcast even had fun graphics like “Days Past Due Date: 2” and “Here Comes Baby P.”
After the show wrapped at 7:56 a.m., Olivia headed to the hospital and later announced the birth of her baby boy, Quincy. Talk about commitment.
Reaction: She read the news, timed contractions, and still looked camera-ready. Meanwhile, I can’t even find my keys in the morning.
