Caitríona Perry, the BBC's chief presenter based in Washington DC took over the interview with Kid Rock when a technical issue appeared to prevent her colleague from continuing.
The 44-year-old Irish journalist seamlessly took over asking Trump's friend what he is looking forward to seeing when the 47th President is sworn in.
He said: "I'm looking forward to him being sworn in and then for him to start kicking ass for America.
"To be a voice for the people that elected him, to straighten out the economy, get the border under control and make common sense decisions.
"Be a man for the people and straighten this stuff out that Joe Biden has ruined for the last four years."
Perry, a mother of two, then asked the singer about his plans for the day which is when the coverage took a turn.
He spoke about being sober for the month of January to prepare for the inauguration before suggesting he may visit the Canadian embassy "and employ them to be our 51st state."
Kid Rock then took a gamble asking the BBC reporter: "What about you, what you doing, where you at?

"We've got a day of broadcasting to do but thank you so much for joining us."
Viewers were left shocked by the incident, with many taking to X to share their reactions to the cringeworthy moment.
