That is One Magic Crotch on that Woman

Call this bad timing, or maybe it was not. 

ABC scored an accidental social media bullseye during Once Upon a Time. A pop-up animated graphic for the show’s Wonderland spin-off featured the White Rabbit making a magic portal in exactly the wrong spot — or the right one. The moment came just after Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin) uttered the line: “You’re searching for something powerful enough to vanquish the queen.” Wonderland‘s White Rabbit, it seems, has a suggestion.

Ummmmmm.......

Not sure what is going on with this graphic. The New York Jets played the Atlanta Falcons last night on Monday Night Football. 

WCBS updated the game's score in their late newscast, but while having the Jets logo correct, they called the Jets the Kansas City Chiefs. The Falcons became the Philadelphia Eagles (well at least both are birds).  

The brand new New York Kansas City Jets Chief went on to win the game 30-28.  

The Secret to the Fox News Deck

Yesterday FTVLive showed you a video that gave us a tour of the new Fox News Deck. 

Shepard Smith showed us around the Deck and some of you emailed us asking about the "giant tablets" that some of the Fox News staff was using behind Shep in the video. 

People wanted to know where you can get a giant iPad such as these?

Well, FTVLive is going to let you in on a secret. Those tablets you see are just normal size iPads, nothing more than the one you have.  

The people on the other hand are no more than 6 inches tall.

It's all thanks to an experiment gone wrong. Fox News Boss Roger Ailes was having the engineers at FNC to invent something that would make Geraldo keep his clothes on and something that would shrink Bill O'Reilly's ego.

The device they came up with was tried on other Fox News staffers in a test. It didn't work and shrunk the workers down to very small people. Ailes didn't know what to do with the tiny workers, so he invented the Fox News Deck. 

By the way, the shrinking machine only works on white people. That's why you see no diversity behind Shepard Smith and not because Fox News doesn't hire people of color. 

Now you know the real story.  

He's a WEEK News Director

FTVLive FIRST told you that ND Don Shafer was leaving WEEK (Peoria) for an ND job in San Diego. 

Now WEEK has gotten around to naming Shafer's replacement.  

Greg Schieferstein has been named news director at the station. 

He takes over the gig on Oct. 28.

Schieferstein previously served as executive producer for WTVG-TV, the ABC affiliate in Toledo, Ohio. 

Miley Cyrus Said What to Matt Lauer?!

Miley Cyrus is convinced that Matt Lauer is not having any sex. 

Matt had to be a bit sad to hear that Miley doesn't think he's getting any. But, the good news, she thought he was only 40 years old (He's 55).

A Tour of the Fox News Deck

Here is the nickel tour of the new Fix News Deck. Shepard Smith will be your tour guide through the deck.

Remember keep your hands inside the ride at all times and DO NOT try and feed Bill O'Reilly.

David Who?

As FTVLive has been telling you, NBC's Meet The Press has fallen in ratings since being taken over by David Gregory. 

Gregory got the nod after the untimely death of Meet The Press Moderator Tim Russert. Gregory has been widely criticized for his style, questions and falling ratings. 

NBC has said they are sticking by Gregory even though his ratings are slipping. We have learned that NBC only likes to get rid of people that are at the top of the ratings... Right Jay Leno? 

But, this Weekend Gregory was off and Today Show Co-Host Savannah Guthrie was in the chair and it was a huge improvement over Gregory.

Her questions were tough but fair and she didn't seem to have nearly the ego that Gregory projects. 

We weren't the only one that thought it was a big improvement for MTP. Check out some of the Twitter reactions:

Why couldn't this have Happen 15 Years Ago?

In my 20+ years in TV News, I spent a couple of years dabbling in sports.  

I was the Executive Producer of a live sports show in Pittsburgh that was on 5 nights a week. I also Produced Pittsburgh Pirates baseball games that aired on WPXI. 

I produced both home and away games and would spend time on the road with the team. This all happened in the mid 90's when in a word the Pirates "SUCKED!" 

Back then the Pirates couldn't beat and egg.

Producing the games was hard, because by the 4th or 5th innings there were losing so bad, that it was hard to even stay awake in the truck.

The highlight of one season was when Pirates outfielder Al Martin got arrested in Arizona for bigamy. He was arrested by now TV Agent Micah Johnson.

To Catch a Talk Show

Chris Hansen who made his name catching predators and blonde reporters that were not his wife, is looking to make a TV comeback. 

Hansen was quietly shown the door at NBC, after details of an affair he had were widely reported. 

Now, the former NBC News correspondent could be back on TV soon with a new daily syndicated talk show with a true crime focus.

Warner Bros. Domestic Television Distribution has shot a pilot with Hansen, according to sources familiar with the project. WBDTD had no comment, but sources tell TV Guide Magazinethe show is still in development and no decision has been made about when it will be offered to TV stations.

Hansen emerged as a major TV news star in 2004 through his series of To Catch A Predator investigations that targeted men who sought out under-aged sex partners through the Internet.

True crime and legal issues may be the next hot genre in daytime syndication as recent high profile murder trials of Jodi Arias and George Zimmerman pushed cable news ratings higher.

Philly Anchor's Tasteless Tweet

Fox Philly Anchor/Reporter Joyce Evans caught some flack on Twitter for a Tweet last night that many thought was in poor taste.

Evans compared people being shot in Philly as similar to the TV show Breaking Bad. This is what she Tweeted: 

Here's a sample of some of the responses that came in after she posted the tweet: 

Evans then tried to explain her tweet a number of times, saying the same thing. Her explanation didn't go over very well in the Twitterverse either:  

Gannett to Shutter BELO's DC Bureau

Sources tell FTVLive that the staff at BELO's DC Bureau were told late last week that Gannett plans to close the bureau once the sale of Belo is complete.

We're told that some of those staffers will be moved over to Gannett's Washington Bureau, but others will be laid off.

Stay tuned...  

Fox News Falls for Fake Story

It appears that in her effort to make the President look bad, Fox News Anchor Anna Kooiman fall for a fake story.

Kooiman claimed that President Obama "has offered to pay out of his own pocket for the museum of Muslim culture."

Problem being, besides the complete lie she told about the president, is that a museumby that name in Washington D.C. doesn't even exist.

Media Matters traced Kooiman's lie to the "satire" website The National Report. 

Oops! The video is posted above. 

Kooiman sent out this Tweet after the show: 

We're betting it will.... 

I'm Sorry I Don't Understand you....

We're guessing the person at WMAQ in Chicago that made this graphic doesn't have an iPhone. 

Or maybe they are just a big fan of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' daughter.

It's Siri not Suri. 

Steve Jobs just flipped over one more time.  

Signing Off in the Nooga

He's been working at the station since 1974, but you can now stick a fork in Darrell Patterson, because he's done.

Patterson longtime sports director at WTVC (Chattanooga) says he will retire on Dec. 12.

He joined the ABC-affiliated television station in 1974 on a part-time basis. The next year he became a full-time sports reporter with the station.

"Darrell's presentation has always been about more than just scores and highlights," NewsChannel 9 News Director Tom Henderson said. "He is a talented and enthusiastic sports storyteller."
