Bloopers by the media pros

Listed bloopers that include Web links are subject to be 
corrected by the responsible parties, but not always.

- The entertainment section of The Los Angeles Times Web site on March 17 at about 4 p.m. featured a link to a story about actor Mickey Rourke appearing at this year's Wrestlemania. Rourke was incorrectly referred to as an Oscar winner. Also, its subhead showed, "The Oscar winner will be present, but will get get in the ring?" 

- The March 13 episode of "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" featured via The Jimmy Cam the new host making the cue card guy decrease and increase the point size of lettering on one particular poster board introducing Malin Akerman. 



Per chance Fallon kept doing this so that the cue card guy in question would eventually check IMDb and note that he misspelled Malin Akerman's last name as "Ackerman" three times. 

No one can blame Fallon for ultimately knocking the guy on his ass.


One has to wonder if the segment was meant to show Fallon humorously being a jerk or pointing out his cue card guy's negligent spelling.




- Three times during the five-day TV broadcasting week that began on March 9, Jay Leno mispronounced "John Krasinski" as "John Kraniski" on "The Tonight Show."

- On March 4, Examiner.com featured a reaction to the second "Terminator Salvation" trailer. "John Connor" was misspelled as "John Conner." The same mistake can be found at this link.
