Great Moments in Live Financial TV

Yesterday morning on CNBC's Squawk on the Street:

Erin Burnett: The price of pot has really gone up over the last six months.

Guest: [Long confused pause] Uh, how would you know?

Erin: Just look at the ticker.

Guest: Ohhhhh.

I'm such a sucker for accidental drug humor. (For those of you not getting this right away, Erin was referring to the ticker for Potash Corp., which is POT on the NYSE. The guest thought she was talking about, you know, something else.)
