whoops, Today Show

The Today Show showed an Elizabeth Taylor retrospective, and at first I was impressed by how quickly they put it together...then I thought, "hmm, maybe they have these in the can for all old/sick celebrities just in case"...then they mentioned the last time she was seen in public was at Michael Jackson's funeral "in September" and I was like, "don't they mean September 2009?"...then it ended with "Elizabeth Taylor, dead at 77".  

She just turned 79.  They made it over a year ago and forgot to edit it.

Whoops.

Isn't that macabre??

  • I thought it was pretty well known that news organizations keep these things on hand for celebrities that might expire soon.  But not editing it before airing it was a major goof!

    Yes - they do.  How they could review and edit before editing is a pretty big mistake!

    Me, too!  Hadn't heard anything!

  • She's been hit or miss for a long time now, like Zsa Zsa, but I can not believe they didn't take the time to review it.
  • Totally understandable to have that sort of thing on file - but creepy that they aired it without catching that!

    I'm out of the loop too, I didn't realize she had died either.  That is weird though that they would air it with such huge mistakes!

  • There is a hilarious Dana Carvey SNL skit about these things.
