The perils of live TV! The Project's Tommy Little is put on the spot as he stares blankly at the camera during a technical glitch

Tommy Little is known to put his co-hosts on the spot.

But on The Sunday Project, the 36-year-old was momentarily lost for words when the camera panned to him unexpectedly. 

Tommy appeared perplexed when the camera fixed in on him, after co-host Lisa Wilkinson thanked Susie Youssef for her segment on the covid-19 vaccine rollout. 

'So sorry, guys. Sometimes the camera comes to me and I'm reminded I'm on TV,' Tommy eventually managed to muster, after looking blankly at the screen for several seconds. 

Co-host Lisa found hilarity in the situation, remarking 'your turn!' before erupting in laughter.   

Just last week on The Sunday Project, Tommy was put on the spot once again when he accidentally alluded to Lisa, 61, having a moustache.

The remarks came about after footage aired of Brisbane Bullets basketball star Victor Law crediting his team's success on their facial hair. 

'It's moustaches for us. The whole team bought into it, and when you get team commitment like that, it's hard to lose,' Victor of the National Basketball League said in a post-game interview, aired on The Sunday Project.

'It's just a good shave job, all of us. It's a privilege to have facial hair,' he continued. 

The camera then panned to Tommy who remarked that Victor did not really sport much of a moustache, compared to that of his male co-host. 

A technical glitch then occurred, with the camera panning to Lisa, instead of Peter van Onselen. 

Lisa played along with the gaffe in good fun, remarking 'What?', while Tommy apologised profusely.

'That was a director's fault! That was meant to go to PVO (Peter van Onselen). I'm so sorry,' he said.
