Year: 2014
Network :KTLA
In a snide interview conducted in 2014 by KTLA entertainment reporter Sam Rubin, he made a grave mistake when he mistook actor Samuel L. Jackson for Laurence Fishburne. Rubin mistook Jackson for Fishburne, who had just finished a Super Bowl advertisement that was well received.
Samuel L. Jackson corrected him in true Samuel L. Jackson style and told him that Fishburne was the one who appeared in the commercial. Rubin was criticized rightfully for the mistake, leading to a series apologies from Jackson and a funny public scolding. Do your research before you interview celebrities.
