Quelle faux pas!

YIKES!!

OMG!! They corrected it in a very subtle way. Very classy, and you can see that he was embarrased. I thought it was funny he was saying that "Michael Jackson might make it out of here and be with the family at the memorial". Maybe he's seen Michael's ghost!!!

Yeah, that could have been much worse. Meridith Vierra (or whoever prompted Meridith) kind of saved the day, realizing right away the reporter meant Bette Davis, and they corrected it. Had she not been on her toes, that would have been pretty bad.

Knowing Betty White though, I bet she finds the whole thing amusing.

I know - Betty has an astounding sense of humor, so I bet she just laughed and shrugged it off.

The blunder was the "Clip of the Week" on The Soup. I also agree Betty probably laughed at the whole thing.
