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."

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
