After the break, I wonder if the anchor was alone and saying, “Jessica is no longer with NBC, but we wish her well.”

Holy smokes I thought the video clip was going to be an exchange between an anchor and a correspondent on scene who had a communication misunderstanding. I didn’t expect Jessica to be standing right there.

I wonder what Jessica thinks the appropriate pragmatics for this situation is. Should the anchor have asked about Jessica’s weekend? The interaction is especially weird since the anchor was probably just reading off the cue card.

It took her a moment to reset there. Definitely will need time to work on their on-air transitions.

Did Jessica think they were rehearsing the news? Is that a thing?

If you roll on the rehearsal, is it really a rehearsal?
I assume it is? Why wouldn’t it be? Preparing for things tends to make people do a better job. Like not having a disagreement or miscommunication about a transition live on air.
