Zach Mack · 03/02/10 11:35AM

Everyone hates those uncomfortable moments when you run into someone whose name you just can't remember. But what happens when you're Robin Roberts on live national television and you forget that nice blonde coworker's name? Awkwardness—lots of it.

Just How Stoned Was Bruce Willis This Morning?

Mike Byhoff · 02/22/10 12:25PM

There was something that was just a bit... off about Bruce Willis' appearance on Good Morning America today. He was attempting to promote Cop Out, but it seemed like someone slipped a Xanax—or six, into his morning coffee.

Rudy Giuliani Forgets About 9/11

Pareene · 01/08/10 10:42AM

You can watch the entire miserable segment here, if you are in too good a mood this morning! George just lets Rudy babble on and on and on, without bothering to correct or challenge him, on anything. Like, for example, in addition to 9/11, some other guy did the exact same thing as this underwear bomber did, in December of 2001, only with a shoe, instead of underwear. And everyone knows and remembers this. George remembers this! But why bother to bring it up?
