I thought the laughter came from Outtake TV.

It did. The clip was genuine. I saw it go out live.
Who is the man in the clip?
John Terret. No longer with the BBC

Couple I remember locally, one was in the early 90s when a late bulletin fell apart, not a single VT was cued and presenter Maria Coyle froze for a few seconds, said simply "goodnight" and was faded out, leaving continuity to fill in the remaining eight minutes with a mix of trailers and IVC, very well handled under the circumstances.
There was another where Victoria Huxley fainted on air and was just left there for a good minute and a half before they finally switched to the southern opt. Surreal.
The most funny news clip I've seen though is the 80s American ABC New York one where the female presenter is caught showing the finger to a cameraman, and Roger Grimsby later in the bulletin remarks "ABC, we're still number one". Class.

I recall in the early 80's, the then BBC Defense Correspondent (Christopher Wain) was in the studio alongside John Humphrys to voice over a report he (Wain) had compiled and which was to be shown with various VT. (BBC Nine O'clock News - Venetian Blinds era)
The report opened with Wain supposed to do a piece to camera. He appeared on screen and slumped in his seat, unable to speak, and just said a few very slurred "ums" and "ahhhs".
Humphrys then took over the piece, reading from Wain's paper script, but as he hadn't rehearsed the piece and it hadn't been dumped into Humphrys' autocue, all we saw during the studio shots was a view of Humphrys' crown, reading the typed report.
At the end he stated: "That report was compiled by Christopher Wain. He was unable to read it himself."
The newspapers the following day confirmed that Wain had had a bad case of Gastroenteritis.
Not so much a funny event, but one of those ones where you really had a lump in your throat for the presenter, as we didn't have a clue what was going on and what was going to happen next.

OMG! I'd forgotten about that one! The same thing happened on BBC World going out to an advert break. There were 2 coming ups:
1) BSE/Mad Cow disease
2) Queen Mum
The editor of the programme reversed the order of coming ups at the very last second, but the automation didn't have time to adjust, so you can imagine the pictures and voice over were somewhat out of step!

It did. The clip was genuine. I saw it go out live.
Who is the man in the clip?
If you're asking about the guest who dropped the pen; it's comedian Tim Vine (brother of Jeremy)
