The Hamburglar was caught momentarily tongue-tied on live television.
Fox News 2 reporter Tim Ezell in St. Louis decided to have a little fun with a black-and-white striped shirt his colleague April Simpson was wearing during a live broadcast.
"Time to get you caught up on your news headlines. For that, the Hamburglar," he said as the camera cut to Simpson who was standing by to deliver her report.
Simpson's reaction was priceless: she gave a stunned expression to the camera and then turned to her side to look at Ezell, and then tried to keep herself from laughing.
"It's your birthday, I'll let it pass," she said.
Then she thought better of it.

Fox 2 host April Simpson was shocked when her colleague referred to her as 'The Hamburglar' during a live broadcast. The video was posted to YouTube Tuesday.
"No, I won't. I'll get you later," she warned.
The undated clip is old, as the station reported Ezell left last July to become a full-time pastor. But the joke still apparently remains funny as the station posted it to its YouTube channel on Tuesday.
Simpson seems to be in good spirits about the joke, which comedian Kevin Hart shared it on his Facebook page.
"The hamburgler video has gone viral with over one million views and counting thanks to actor/comedian @KevinHart4real lol lol," she tweeted Tuesday.
