MSNBC Host to Jesse Jackson: 'Hi, Al Sharpton'

(Newser) – In a stunningly awkward clip going viral as we speak, MSNBC host Contessa Brewer accidentally introduces guest Jesse Jackson as, “the Reverend Al Sharpton.” When Jackson gives the camera a priceless you-gotta-be-kidding-me glare and corrects her, Brewer hastily blames the script and apologizes, saying “I know who you are Rev. Jackson, we all do.” Aren’t you glad we have YouTube to record moments like this for posterity?

Jesse Jackson does not look pleased.
