When Milli Vanilli was exposed, the front page of my local paper had the headline, "Milli Vanilli is Phony Baloney."

[wojtek]

Guma should have got the job . He handled the situation perfectly and not many people could do that live on tv

[tinotica]

More honorable mentions:

-Disco Demolition Night
-Malice in the Palace
-Kanye West talks about George W Bush
-Ashlee Simpson on SNL

[otaconguy]

What about when they opened Al Capone’s vault on Live TV and found nothing?

[ccsuny]

All Will Smith ever wanted was to get to the top of this list

[crimsonclover]

Bless him, Guma should have been offered that job. He was shocked at the beginning of the interview but quickly recovered and handled the situation like a pro.

Does anyone know what/how he's doing now?

"She's gonna have a nice cup of tea" so British

* asks for wrestling technique demonstration *
* gets wrestling technique demonstration *
* sues the wrestler for doing exactly what he's told to *

I love how you can see the "Oh Shit!" on Guy Goma's face at 2:13

Number 9 should've been hired. He was extremely professional answering those questions.

Also, Timberlake is a douchebag. Not only what he did to Jackson, letting her take all the heat (that she had no control over) but also by sharing with the world and without Britney's consent that they had sex. Timberlake should've been cancelled decades ago.

I always thought it was unfair Fab and Rob were shunned but not the producer who forced them into lip syncing

[stingrey]

hulk hogan was doing the time honored tradition of "protecting the business." belzer was belittling wrestling and questioning its validity. hogan choked him out for real.
it was a stupid move from both parts. belzer for questioning a 6'6, 300 lbs professional athlete and hogan for choking out a non wrestler on live tv.

Steve Harvey was an absolute champ about it. He's a good guy, deserves his props.

[CelebrityGamerTV]

I couldn’t believe Steve Harvey still hosted Miss Universe after that incident. Talk about forgiveness.

[swoshjeeney]

Might need to update this list after the 2022 Academy Awards

[grlatino]

Gemma Collins fall had me LMAO! That stage said “I can’t no more!!”

[lisayoung]

Guy Goma should have been given the job, he did an incredible job. 😃

[pressplayulysses]

1:48 Guy proved himself worthy of a job on live TV.

[THANATOS-PRIME]

Seeing Munch from Law & Order: SVU get strangled by Hulk Hogan is a sight I never thought I’d see.

[cavemanbum]

You'd think WatchMojo would include the Budd Dwyer incident on this list at #1.
It was WAY more disastrous than the Gary Stollman incident, and many more people saw it live.
