Top 5 Embarrassing Moments On Live TV

I don't know about you, but I get embarrassed very easily, and knowing me, my entire life is just one embarrassing moment after another. If you're anything like that, here's a list of uncomfortably awkward moments on live TV that will never be lived down, and will hopefully make you feel a little better about yourself.

1. Steve Harvey announcing the wrong winner of Miss Universe (2015)

There's nothing more uncomfortable than thinking that you've won, when you actually haven't. And vice versa. At the 2015 Miss Universe pageant, TV host Steve Harvey announced Miss Colombia as the winner, instead of Miss Philippines. Outrage ensued when Miss Colombia was stripped of her newly placed crown, when Miss Philippines barely received any screen time, and when it was suggested that two titles be awarded.

2. Stacey Dash wishing everyone a happy Black History Month at the Oscars (2016)

Stacey Dash was selected as the Academy Director of Diversity Outreach, and made an appearance on the academy award stage, proclaiming, "Happy Black History Month," which was met by an awkward silence from the entire crowd. For those of you that don't know, Stacey Dash is also known for making many anti-feminist remarks, as well as remarks about why Black History Month shouldn't exist. This helped continue dialogue on a hashtag on social media, #OscarsSoWhite.

3. Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift at the MTV VMAs (2009)

Although this happened almost seven years ago, this infamous incident caused constant rivalry between the artists even to this day. At the 2009 Video Music Awards, Kanye stole the microphone from Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech with a "I'mma let you finish, but Beyoncé had the best video of all time." Looks like neither of them is going to give up this fight anytime soon.

4. Ariana Grande getting hit in the face by a Victoria's Secret Angel (2014)

To be honest, this was more funny than anything. At the 2014 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, one of the models accidentally smacked Ariana Grande in the face with her wings during her performance of "Bang Bang." While she kept singing, the face Ariana made when this happened was iconic.

5. John Travolta mispronounces Idina Menzel's name at the Oscars (2014)

Seems like a lot of embarrassing things happen on the stage of this annual academy award show. An unforgettable moment two years ago occurred when John Travolta pronounced Idina Menzel's name as "Adele Dazeem." Not really sure where he got that from. To return the favor, at the 2015 Oscars, Menzel pronounces Travolta's name as "Glom Gazingo."

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:
