Doug, good morning, good to see you&quot;, the cameras turned to the man.<\/p>\n<p>However, he was caught out taking a nap and his interviewer was unsuccessful in his attempts to wake him.<\/p>\n<p>It meant that, rather embarrassingly for the network, they had to cut away and move onto the next item.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Luzader has had a bit of a nightmare here and no doubt he'll face some stern words from the top bosses.<\/p>\n<p>Although I do feel sorry for him, as he must have been knackered if live TV wasn't enough to keep him awake.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Trevor Smith<img decoding=\"async\"
