      I don’t mean to discredit the others here, but I put this through multiple reverse image searches and the earliest I’ve found it appear was November 2025. I remember seeing similar images, but not this exact image in the past. Though when image searching, I found pictures taken with slightly different positions of the anchors, indicating that it was—at the very least—a video, and not a static generated image. So I looked further, and I found a video on Instagram if you’d like to see something closer to the source.

      Honestly, could very well be AI, but figured I’d try to see if I could track it down to an actual live broadcast from a news station. I had no luck in doing that, though.

    AI Overview

    +1

    This image captures a humorous on-air moment from an April Fool’s Day joke where a news anchor was led to believe a police sketch of a “bathroom intruder” strongly resembled her co-anchor.

    The segment was a prank played on co-anchor Felicia Johnson Milner by her colleagues.

    The sketch presented on the screen bears a striking resemblance to the male anchor pictured on the left, leading to the joke that he was the “intruder”.

    The male anchor is Carl Wallace Sr., who shared the moment on social media.

    The humor of the situation comes from the female anchor’s reaction as she realizes the sketch is a caricature of the man sitting next to her.
