What famous gaffes or bloopers can you remember from tv presenters or interviewers.
One to start off with
Donna Air asking how the Corrs knew each other.

Clive Anderson upsetting The Bee Gees in 1996

Haha hadn't seen the Bee Gees one.
Seeing his face physically drop when they walk off is hilarious.
Mr Ford looked bemused.
I am sure there was an incident on one of the BBC Saturday morning shows similar to the Donna Air incident where one of the kids in the audience asked the Proclaimers where they first met.
"In our Mother's womb" was the reply.
It may be an urban myth
I remember one interview Madeley did with the dreadfully self-important Canadian rocker Bryan Adams, which was absolutely hilarious when Madeley started asking him about his diet and Adams said "Do you really want to know about this?" or words to that effect.
There's usually at least three every episode
Frankie Boyle has a joke/anecdote about something similer.
A guy heckles him and says he looks like one of the Proclaimers.
"ONE of them? They're identical twins you daft bastard!"
Not the presenter(s) ? the idiot guest who says something ill timed when he can't think of anything funny to say, by any chance ?
It isn't worth dwelling on really.
Ok I do apologise for bringing that up ^_^
Johnny Vaughan replied: "If God didn't want us to eat animals, he shouldn't have made them out of meat !!"
IIRC she screamed and stormed off
On other occasions when a daughter has been murdered, or family members killed in a fire, they ask stupid questions like" what reaction did the families have to the bad news? Were they upset?"
I feel like screaming at the screen.
That reminds me of when Jonathan Ross interviewed Morrissey. Morrissey said "Have you got a pet?" Ross said "I've got a cat." Morrissey said "Would you eat your cat?" Ross said "If I was really ****ing hungry, yes!!"
Salma: I'm half Lebanese.
Eamon: You're half lesbian?!

Many moons ago on TV-AM the sports presenter was trying to explain to Anne Diamond about the Superbowl. That night it was being played on the west coast so didn't start until about 4 am UK time. He compared it to an FA Cup Final to which she replied ''Well if it's so important why do they play it in the middle of the night ?''
And of course the legendary ones from Test Match Special:
''The batsman's Holding the bowler's Willey'' - Brian Johnson
''Botham...just couldn't get his leg over'' Jonathan Agnew explaining Botham's hit wicket
Another Madeley doozy I heard on the radio was when he was relating to his guest how Sir Ian McKellan had explained his acting technique: "I just pretend to be a wizard"
The quote he was referring to was a scene from Extras.
Alan Brazil - So how is Bob's health now ?
Garry Bushell - Er......he died at christmas.
Alan Brazil (flustered) - Oh, I heard two different versions of that story !

Looks like Stephen (Steve) Dixon, not the sharpest card in the pack
I remember that, I think she made some comment about "all the songs you and Art Garfunkel wrote" and Simon quickly chipped in with "actually, I wrote the songs myself". He was not pleased!
One of the Proclaimers tells a story about someone in the street coming up to him and saying "are you that c**t from the Proclaimers?". "No", he replies, "I'm his brother".
For those of you watching in black and white Wolves are playing in yellow - John Motson reputedly on MOTD
