RTÉ Weather Woman Leaves Viewers Feeling Very Confused After Strange Sign-Off

Pardon?

We love a good news blooper.

We can only imagine the presure a presenter feels in front of all the lights and the camera, but when it all goes wrong, we can't help but have a little giggle.

During last night's weather forecast on RTÉ, viewers were left feeling very confused, but it wasn't because of an obvious error.

Joanna Donnelly signed off by saying 'Goodnight, Mary,' which had many people questioning what this meant.

As it turns out, however, this wasn't a slip up. Joanna was actually paying tribute to American television actress, Mary Tyler Moore, who passed away yesterday at the age of  80. 

Mary Tyler Moore is best known for her roles in sitcoms, including The Mary Tyler Moore Show. 

Joanna also paid tribute to the late star on Twitter last night. 

RIP Mary Tyler Moore.

This turned out to be a lot more heartwarming than we expected.
