VIDEO: Piers Morgan’s Embarassing Flub During Homage To Patrice O’Neal.
Morgan, TV host, and O’Neal, a male comic.
Piers Morgan was interviewing comic Dane Cook on “Piers Morgan Tonight” the other night when he decided to pay tribute to the life of comic Patrice O’Neal, who is, for the record, a man. But apparently Piers, or a show writer, wasn’t aware of that, and Morgan goes on to set up what a funny person SHE was. Awkward.
The truth is, Morgan probably didn’t know who O’Neal was at all. And he was likely embarassed as hell when the clip was over… and if the mistake was in the teleprompter, he would likely be a little irked at whomever wrote the copy. Because in the world of tv, if you say it, it doesn’t matter who wrote it, it’s all on you. It might behoove him to familiarize himself with the content that he’s going to have in his show ahead of time. If you’re going to say whatever words are written for you, it’s your responsibility to make sure you agree with them. All that said, it may very well have been a slip of the tongue, since Patrice is widely considered a feminine name.
The embarassing moment, below.
