*WALB Chief Meteorologist Yolanda Amadeo had her wig snatched by a lemur while she reporting live from the Georgia National Fair in Perry, Georgia on Thursday.
Amadeo was interviewing a representative from Eudora Farms Petting Zoo, who happened to bring along a ring-tailed lemur that decided to hop on Yolanda’s shoulder. She didn’t seem to be bothered with the animal as she continued with the interview — until the unexpected happened.

After the animal snatched her faux mane, it jumped back to the handler — but it wasn’t done Yolanda.
With her braids exposed, Amadeo tries to fix her wig, but the lemur takes another swipe at her hair. The veteran reporter then runs off camera as the lemur jumps onto the handler’s back.
Viewers reacted to the hilarious moment on Twitter, with one writing: “Our local weather lady got her wig snatched by a lemur on live TV today.”
User @sweeetee_ said “That Yolanda amadeo video get funnier & funnier the more I watch it.”
A Daily Mail reader commented, “She actually handled it well. Oddly enough, why doesn’t this happen to all the male reporters that wear toupees?”
