When a St. Patrick’s Day jig goes wrong

So Lucas Ross, a member of the Memorial Road Church of Christ in Oklahoma City, just made national news for … well … this.

The local TV personality and correspondent for KFOR and KAUT, along with meteorologist Emily Sutton, was attempting a “jig” to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.

This went national, appearing on Sunday Today with Willie Geist. He was also featured in John Oliver’s St. Patrick’s Day montage. By Tuesday night Jimmy Fallon had picked it up, featuring it in his nightly monologue.

The good news is Lucas was not seriously injured, beyond his pride.
