It reminds me of a scene from the 1982 movie. Annie.
Oliver Warbucks goes on a live radio program to announce a financial reward to find the biological parents of Annie. He is given a script to read from. Not being familiar with radio scripts, he reads not only his lines, but the stage directions printed in the script.
“Drop page”
“Warbucks continues”
“Warbucks interrupts”
“Drop page”
Only, Warbucks wasn’t senile. Just unfamiliar with performing on a radio show and it’s scripts.

So I watched that clip and realized again why I never watched that movie in the first place.
