This Anchor learnt pretty quickly that, despite what he heard in the past, all black people don’t look alike. And his teacher was none other than Samuel L Jackson.
Jackson was invited on the entertainment program to talk about his upcoming movie Robocop. But the anchor however, failed to do his homework thinking that Samuel was the same black dude who did that Matrix Superbowl commercial.
“What Super Bowl commercial?” Samuel asked when KTLA’s Sam Rubin Reporter asked if he had a lot if reaction about the Superbowl commercial. “You’re as crazy as the people on Twitter. I’m not Laurence Fishburne!”
Rubin immediately realizing his embarrassing mistake, apologized and tried to change the topic, but Jackson wasn’t through with him yet.
“You’re the entertainment reporter for this station and you don’t know the difference between me and Laurence Fishburne? That must be a very short line for your job outside there.”
Rubin kept on apologizing, even slapping himself in the face. But Samuel had more to say.
“I’m the other guy! There’s more than one black guy doing a commercial. I’m the ‘What’s in your wallet?’ black guy. He’s the car black guy. Morgan Freeman is the other credit card black guy. You only hear his voice, though, so you probably won’t confuse him with Laurence Fishburne.”
