Subheadline: Reporter's Mistake Ignites Social Media Storm and Global Notoriety
KTLA's Sam Rubin Confuses Jackson with Fishburne, Sparking Jackson's Wrath
KTLA-TV entertainment reporter Sam Rubin is making headlines for all the wrong reasons after an embarrassing on-air mix-up during an interview with legendary actor Samuel L. Jackson. Rubin mistakenly asked Jackson about the success of the trailer for "Snakes on a Plane," a comment that ignited a furious tirade from the actor.
The incident occurred during a live segment on February 10, 2014, when Rubin mistakenly asked Jackson, "How's the trailer on 'Snakes on a Plane' doing?" Jackson, who starred in "Snakes on a Plain" with Samuel L. Fishburne, was taken aback by the question and launched into a heated rant.
"Do you not at any moment read that? Do you not at any point see anything about this movie?" Jackson exclaimed. "Are you confused or do I look like Lawrence Fishburne?"
