Merry Miller TV Disaster
Merry Miller is the Senior Programming Director for The Learning Annex in New York, USA. She was named as one of the 40 "rising stars" in 2007 by Crain's magazine and is a former Miss Dallas. But that's where this "rising star" starts to fade.In late July of 2007, Merry conducted a poorly done interview with Holly Hunter on ABC News Now's segment "What's The Buzz." Since its broadcast, the disastrous interview has been heavily viewed on YouTube [link] and other online video sites.
Not only were the interview questions awful, but for some reason Merry decides to phonetically read off the teleprompter - like a child. She also gives the wrong month for Holly Hunter's show premiere (June instead of July) and accidentally encourages viewers to go to nbcnews.com not ABC News.com.
Merry Miller, welcome to the TV Disaster Hall of Fame! I'm sure NBC loved the plug.

So what if she made some slip ups!
First these are people.
Second people are humans.
Third humans make mistake.

Dude... this is kinda a letdown. Has anyone ever seen the "boom goes the dynamite" sportscaster disaster? It's so much more entertaining than this.

Why don't you people get a life! Merry is not the only person who has ever made a network mistake.

ABC and Merry do not care if you like her or not - they just care that you know their online division. It's both their jobs!

I just saw Merry Miller talking about this on MSNBC. She said she has been a behind the scenes news worker for a long time and had not been an on the air person. The conspiracy theorist in me says that this was a publicity stunt. If it was, look at how successful it was. 510,941 views of this one posting of the video so far, and counting. Jackpot!
