Live TV can be tricky for reporters. A simple slip of the tongue and you can find yourself the butt of jokes from coast to coast. It's even worse when you have two bloopers within seconds of each other.

That's what happened to reporter Blake Burman of Miami/Fort Lauderdale's Channel 7 News yesterday as he was reporting on the presidential election race from camp Obama.

"Not necessarily info, but just kind of giving you a little bit of what you see here. That's Wyclef Jean giving an interview," Blake said as he nodded his head towards will.i.am.

After being corrected by someone off camera who was just as clueless as he was Blake embarrasses himself even further by mistaking will for a different rapper.

"Wale, excuse me... Wale. Got my artists mixed up."

About 30 seconds later Blake finally got it right, but the damage had been done by that point. This video is definitely going viral. Check it out below
