#PrayforNick and #Nexstar started trending on Twitter after the email.

A Missouri TV anchor inadvertently became the inspiration for numerous memes and jokes after accidentally sending in an email to the whole company saying he was sick.

Nick Vasos, an anchor at Fox 4 in Kansas City, was feeling under the weather on November 21 and decided to email his boss. However, Vasos accidentally sent the email to the entire company, which consists of around 200 television stations across America.

What it prompted was a deluge of jokes and fake sympathy from colleagues across the nation. There were hilarious Twitter threads and memes, and the hashtags #PrayforNick and #Nexstar started trending on Twitter.

The anchor even tweeted in response to all the memes and jokes with a warning to others in the organisation about sending emails to the wrong email id.

Vasos’s colleagues even put up a shrine on his desk, complete with candles and flowers. According to reports, the email thread was later shut down by Nexstar, the parent company of Fox 4.

Here are some of the reactions that emerged on social media with #PrayforNick:
