WATCH: TV host gets hit by moth in the eye

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va.—The site for the 2020 World TeamTennis season is tucked into the mountains of West Virginia. The court where all the action is taking place is called Creekside Stadium—named for the creek that flanks it. Along with all of the lush greenery comes nature's wildest creatures.

For one host, some those creatures can't seem to leave him alone. Nick Gismondi has been the target of moth attacks, one of which has gone down in WTT video history.

Gismondi broke down the viral moment:

"I saw it coming in at the last second," he says. "I expected a fly-by. It ended up landing literally on my eye ball. So I went to get at it with my right hand and then it was the left hand that ended up taking it down."

That wouldn't be the last of the moths Gismondi would face as two more have swooped in at exactly the wrong moment: during live interviews with players.

None yet have been as large as the first, but he should count himself lucky as far bigger predators have been spotted around the grounds including raccoons, deer and even a bear.

"That's not what I thought would be the thing that would put me over the edge in 25 years of broadcasting," Gismondi says. "But if it's going to be a moth to the eye, I think I handled it kind of like Godzilla defeated Mothra."
