'Yes, I'll bring home the milk.' Watch Tom Brokaw answer his cell phone live on air

The funniest moment of the night — so far — just happened on MSNBC as Tom Brokaw’s cell phone started ringing while he was discussing Mitch McConnell’s Senate win in Kentucky. And it wasn’t just a normal ringtone, but what sounded like the very loud “Alarm” ringtone on the iPhone.

Brokaw was unfazed by the interruption and then, to the delight of everyone, pretended to discuss an imaginary grocery list with the mystery caller:

Thought for sure @msnbc was having a fire alarm. No, it's just Tom Brokaw's phone alarm going off on national TV.

Dear Tom Brokaw, How long have you been doing TV? Bruh, turn your phone off! And what's up with that loud ringer. Did I hear @50Cent? LOL
