Wrong Winner Announced

Every TV Presenter's Nightmare. The wrong result announced on a live TV show.

Disaster at Australia's Next Top Model final as host names wrong winner - Telegraph

It was shown on Sky News this morning, and I was feeling sorry for the presenter who looked totally humiliated, until I heard that she is the daughter in law of the TV company's owner, Rupert Murdoch. Then it just became hilarious. What was the selection process for giving her THAT job?

Not at all! Her father in law must have been delighted, though, that she had got a plum job on his TV station entirely by her own efforts!:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Easily done - I announced the wrong team in second place last night at my pub quiz. Turns out they'd written their score in semi-trsnsparent ink halfway up the page. The score I looked at was just their result for the first half.
