Mortifying for all involved.

This short lesson was mostly for KTLA entertainment reporter Sam Rubin, who mistakenly opened an interview by congratulating Samuel L Jackson on his Super Bowl ad. Only problem was, it was Fishburne who starred in the Matrix-themed Kia ad.

Rubin tried to move swiftly on, Jackson wasn’t letting it go, AT ALL. Cringe.
