a list, not an article
editShouldn't this become List of notable open-microphone gaffes or something such? The actual article-type content isn't much past 100 words, followed by a whole lot of trivia.
And FWIW, a couple of decades ago I'd occasionally hear a camera director refer to "a hot mic," but much more commonly it was floor techs who'd call a microphone overloading its input "hot."

Microphone gaffe → Hot mic – "Hot mic" is a very widely used term in the news, while "microphone gaffe" is much less common (and personally I do not think I have ever heard it). For some evidence, see that hot mic has 55,300 news results on Google, while "microphone gaffe" has just 17,500. DemonDays64 (talk) 22:43, 9 May 2020 (UTC)

Indeed not only gaffes
edit"a microphone that is switched on, especially without the speaker realizing" according to Cambridge Dictionary, and "microphone turned on talking to other players for a long period of time, without push to talk" according to Urban Dictionary. Ponken (talk) 12:08, 22 August 2021 (UTC)
