Samuel L. Jackson’s response is by FAR the most hilarious and classic thing ever. While the actor “Django Unchained” actor appeared on Los Angeles’ morning show KTLA to discuss his upcoming “Robocop” film. However, once news anchor Sam Rubin confused Jackson with Laurence Fishburne, all hell broke loose. Jackson fired back at the reporter ASAP saying, “we don’t all look alike!”
The unexpected response was truly priceless. He then went on to make his point clear by saying, “I’ve actually never done a McDonald’s or Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial. I know that’s surprising.” YIKES! Shortly after however, Rubin apologized for the major mix-up. Check out the whole thing (that was happening LIVE on air, mind you) along with Rubin’s full apology below!
Rubin’s full apology:
“We start right now with the beauty and the occasional pain of live television. First and foremost, I do know who Samuel L. Jackson is. I’ve interviewed him several times over the years, but never quite like the conversation we just had.”
“I indicated to Samuel that I’d seen him during the Super Bowl, and he thought that I had confused him with the commercial Laurence Fishburne had done for a car company. Of course a “Captain America” ad had also run during the Super Bowl, but I immediately felt so dumb, I didn’t bring that up — and he gave me the shellacking that was well deserved.”
“I pride myself on the fact — that unlike a lot of people who do this kind of work — more often than not, I really do know what I’m talking about. But I didn’t 30 minutes ago, and I’m really embarrassed about it, and I very much apologize to Samuel L. Jackson and anyone else who was offended for what was a very amateur mistake.”
