why did she do that in first place? what's the context? was she angery or joking?

They were joking around on set before the live program started, and either the festivities ran into airtime, or someone in the control room cut to her feed too soon.

Let me provide an example which I think captures the spirit of the interaction that took place on this fateful day:

Greg: Ay yo Jimmy boy!

Jimmy looks up, notices his friend Greg, flips him the bird.

Sounds about right. Similar to, hey Jimmy, Jimmy says what, Greg says fuck you.
