Today's Michael Jackson television coverage was so abundant with awkward moments that I hestitate to choose just one as the low point of the day. One contender: During a lull in activity, ABC showed the Thriller video. Michael as a zombie! At his own funeral! Excellent choice. Then there was NBC's Michael Okwu, who was so enthusastic about celebrity funerals that he started prematurely burying people.

Michael Jackson: undead; Betty White: buried

Obviously, Mr. Okwu is not old enough to remember when Betty White was married to Allen Ludden, host of the original "Password" and several other reincarnations of the show. She has outlived him by nearly three decades, and has a recurring role on "The Bold and the Beautiful," and recently guested on "Million Dollar Password." (Oh, I forgot...maybe Okwu only watches the network who butters his bread.)

Oh, Alex. He made a mistake. Probably was even handed names to read. Who knows. Your racism, however, is clearly intentional.
Jeff, she's on Craig Ferguson's Late Late Show all the time.
Long live Betty White!
