Many of us probably have an embarrassing-but-hilarious story about being caught or seen by someone during various stages of undress. Fortunately, the majority of us don't have it play out national television, like what happened recently to ABC News reporter Will Reeve...

During a news segment on Good Morning America earlier today, Will was reporting a story (virtually, from home) about some pharmacies using drones to deliver prescriptions to patients. What many viewers noticed, however, was that Will's webcam was a little too far away, resulting in a wide camera shot where you can see that he's not wearing any pants.

While most people would probably die from embarrassment (I know I sure would!), surprisingly, Will has been a good sport about the whole gaffe.

"I have ARRIVED," Reeve tweeted about the situation. "In the most hilariously mortifying way possible."

"Those are shorts, I promise," he said, responding to someone who was questioning what was going on down below.

"Any sartorial tips from these people who are wearing a belt, trousers, and shoes during their work video calls at home are most welcome," Will later said in a statement where he explained the reason he went pantsless on the air was that he was getting ready and prepped for a post-work workout.
