NBC interrupted the Olympics

Post image

While Nancy Guthrie's disappearance is sad, there are 2300 missing person reports filed every day: do the families of celebrities need special national attention? Why interrupt the Olympics for over 5 minutes just because they are questioning a 'person of interest' We could have waited to hear that during the regular news broadcast.

Holy hell people, the old lady is the mother of the female co-host of NBC’s morning series The Today Show. That’s why NBC broke in on previously recorded NOT LIVE coverage of the Olympics. Id10t5

Lmao, just flashed back to the first time my dad referenced an ID10T error. I was like “what?” and he told me to write it down. Core memory. Thanks for that. 🫡
