A news anchor for Los Angeles tv station KTLA got clowned live on air after he made the mistake of confusing Samuel L. Jackson with fellow actor Laurence Fishburne.

Great actor but he didn't half carry on. That said Jackson isn't averse to shooting from the hip, I'm surprised he didn't swear.

I know how he feels, I get mistaken for George Clooney all the time!

edit: Sorry I meant George Galloway.

They do look similar.A mistake could be made.Why bring the 'colour' issue into it?

Sorry but, they don't.

Also my guess is, he's trying to bring a bit of humor to a pretty awkward situation - a very professional way to have worked it in my opinion by a very accomplished actor.

It's a matter of perception & how well you know them if you 'think' they look similar.Some people will,some people wont.

Your assuming the presenter made a mistake just because they are both black as did Jackson.

This is true although, I'd expect a professional television anchorman to know the difference between these two gentleman.

I wasn't assuming the anchorman made the mistake because they are both black at all - I didn't give any assumptions as to why he made that error.

SLJ could have took offense but he didn't, he made light of an awkward situation as I've already said.

When I was married I went to London Zoo with the wife & kids.We were in the dark Nocturnal House.I was looking at something with the kids & turned around to see my wife looking in another display so I walked over & snuggled up behind her.

It was not my wife!!Luckily I just got a dirty look & the poor woman walked off.
Also,even more luckily,my wife didn't see it & I failed to mention the incident to her...........Pheww!!
