‘Today’s’ Natalie Morales misfires on knowledge of ‘Law & Order’
Note to the producers of NBC’s “Today” show: To avoid embarrassment, it might be wise to give your anchors an occasional crash course on the network’s prime-time lineup.
On the “What’s Trending Today” segment, news anchor Natalie Morales demonstrated that one thing that’s not trending for her is her knowledge of what’s actually on her network. During the segment, she said that “Law & Order,” a drama that has been off NBC’s lineup for more than two years, was still on the air.
The misstep came during a story about the new Blu-ray edition of the 1997 hit film “Titanic” which features a never-before-seen screen test with star Kate Winslet and Jeremy Sisto as Jack Dawson, the role eventually played by Leonardo DiCaprio.
Though he lost out on “Titanic,” Sisto moved on to a successful TV career, including a recurring role on HBO’s “Six Feet Under.” He joined the cast of “Law & Order” in 2007 as homicide detective Cyrus Lupo, which he played until the drama’s last season in 2010.
As Morales and weather anchor Al Roker bantered about feeling sorry for Sisto about his “Titanic” miss, Morales declared, “He’s still on ‘Law & Order.’ ”
Sisto, in fact, is the star of ABC’s “Suburgatory,” which will soon enter its second season.
