In a moment that had fans and social media users alike in stitches, NBC sports commentator Mike Tirico made a live TV blunder during Tuesday night\u2019s New York Knicks game. The slip-up, which occurred during Game 5 of the NBA playoffs at Madison Square Garden, involved a simple name mix-up that quickly went viral.<\/p>\n
As Tirico and his co-commentator Reggie Miller were listing off the star-studded lineup of A-listers sitting courtside, the broadcaster accidentally called Tina Fey, \u201cTina Fox.\u201d The mistake was captured in a social media clip posted to X, sparking immediate reactions from fans and viewers.<\/p>\n
Fans quickly took to the comments section to roast the commentator for his flub. One user wrote, \u201cDid Mike say \u2018Tina Fox\u2019?!?,\u201d while another joked, \u201cIt\u2019s literally like a scene out of \u201930 Rock.\u2019\u201d The humor didn\u2019t stop there, as the next day, co-commentator Reggie Miller cleared the air by posting a photo with Tirico and Fey from the night before on his Instagram Story, writing, \u201cThank you for joining us Tina Fey.\u201d<\/p>\n
Seated next to Fey were several other high-profile attendees, including Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet and girlfriend Kylie Jenner, as well as Ben Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor. The event also marked a mini \u201c30 Rock\u201d reunion, with Fey\u2019s former co-star Tracy Morgan sitting to her right. The friends appeared on the jumbotron, waving to the camera, blowing kisses, and Morgan mouthed, \u201cGo Knicks!\u201d Fey, who created, wrote, and starred in the beloved sitcom as Liz Lemon, was clearly delighted to be back in the spotlight.<\/p>\n
Despite the humorous mishap, the event was a testament to the star power and celebrity culture surrounding the NBA playoffs. The mix-up served as a lighthearted moment in an otherwise intense and competitive series, reminding us all that even the most seasoned professionals can have their off days.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a moment that had fans and social media users alike in stitches, NBC sports commentator Mike Tirico made a live TV blunder during Tuesday night’s New York Knicks game.
