NBC’s Mike Tirico flubs Tina Fey’s name on live TV at Knicks game
This was so not fetch.
NBC sports commentator Mike Tirico botched Tina Fey’s name on live TV during Tuesday night’s New York Knicks game.
During Game 5 of the NBA playoffs at Madison Square Garden, the broadcaster and his co-commentator Reggie Miller were listing off the star-studded lineup of A-listers sitting courtside.
Tirico accidentally called Fey, “Tina Fox,” as seen in a social media clip posted to X.
Fans quickly jumped into the comments section to roast the reporter for his flub.
“Did Mike say ‘Tina Fox’?!?,” one person replied, while a second chimed in, “It’s literally like a scene out of ’30 Rock.’”
On Wednesday, Miller cleared the air, posting a photo with Tirico and Fey from the night before to his Instagram Story, writing, “Thank you for joining us Tina Fey.”
Meanwhile, seated next to the “Mean Girls” star was Timothée Chalamet and girlfriend Kylie Jenner as well as Ben Stiller and his wife Christine Taylor.
It was also a mini “30 Rock” reunion, with Fey’s former co-star Tracy Morgan sitting to her right.
The friends appeared on the jumbotron where they waved to the camera, blew kisses and Morgan mouthed, “Go Knicks!”
Fey created, wrote and starred in the beloved sitcom as Liz Lemon.
The series, which ran for seven seasons from 2006 to 2013, followed Lemon as the head writer for a live sketch-comedy show in New York.
Based loosely on backstage shenanigans from Fey’s time on “Saturday Night Live,” the show also starred Jane Krakowski, Alec Baldwin and Jack McBrayer.
However, this Knicks game looked very different for Tracy, when compared to a previous outing in March.
The comedian suffered a medical emergency at the New York Knicks vs. Miami Heat game on March 17.
The actor vomited and was escorted off the court in a wheelchair.
The next day, he updated fans on his status.
“Thank you for all your concern! I’m doing OK now and doctors say it was food poisoning,” Morgan wrote from his hospital bed at the time.
“Appreciate my MSG family for taking such good care of me and I need to shout out the crew that had to clean that up. Appreciate you!”
Morgan added, “More importantly, the Knicks are now 1-0 when I throw up on the court so maybe I’ll have to break it out again in the playoffs 😅 #goknicks.”
