BBC reporter calls Cosby ‘Bill Clinton’ on air, prompting anchor’s apology
An anchor for Britain’s BBC was forced to issue an on-air apology Wednesday after a reporter mistakenly referred to Bill Cosby as "Bill Clinton" during a report on the 83-year-old comedian’s sudden release from prison. "Just to clarify what was said there in Michelle’s introduction to the story when she mistakenly said Bill Clinton instead of Bill Cosby, we apologize for the mistake," BBC anchor Huw Edwards told viewers immediately following the remote segment from reporter Michelle Fleury.
