NBC really lived up to the expectations set by the popular Twitter hashtag, #NBCfail, during Sunday’s Olympic Men’s basketball game between USA and Spain.
After the camera’s spotted actor Jesse Eisenberg in the stands, Bob Fitzgerald confused the Social Network star for being the actual founder of the popular social network (above).
Although the play-by-play announcer didn’t outright refer to him as Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, he did say this:
“I know I’m gonna put that picture on Facebook. We’ve got every executive of note, it seems, worldwide, attending these Games.”
The gaffe may have been another #NBCfail, but at least the talented basketball players representing the United States were able to succeed by winning the second straight Olympic basketball title for the U.S.
