15 Of The Most Shocking Live TV Moments Ever
1. First, we have to start with the obvious one that recently had its one-year anniversary: the Will Smith Oscars slap.

NBCNiven made a joke about Opel’s “shortcomings” that actually made many suspect that the stunt (and ensuing joke) had been planned — though Niven has denied this. Adding fuel to that theory, Opel was not arrested but instead gave an interview for the press.
NBCOpel’s story is actually really tragic, if you’d like to read more about it.

ABCAs Beatty quickly came back to explain, the card in the envelope had read Best Actress: Emma Stone, La La Land – it was the card for an award Stone had already won earlier in the night. In Beatty’s moment of confusion, he tried to show the card to co-presenter Dunaway. Dunaway, only seeing the text La La Land, announced them as the winner. Backstage (and quickly, onstage as well) chaos erupted as the mistake was realized. Moonlight’s producers and cast replaced La La Land’s, and they made their acceptance speech.

CBSThe incident was called an “unrehearsed, unplanned, completely unintentional” wardrobe malfunction, with a representative for Jackson saying that Timberlake was supposed to rip off that part of the top, but that there was supposed to be a bra underneath that instead “collapsed.”

6. 2004 was a big year for live snafus, apparently — not only is it the year of Nipplegate, but it’s also the year Ashlee Simpson was famously caught lip-syncing on Saturday Night Live.
Dana Edelson / NBCU Photo BankWhen the wrong track began to play (the same one she’d already performed), Simpson did not sing, and instead did a strange dance. She later blamed the band before saying she’d lost her voice due to acid reflux and was ordered by doctors not to sing. The singer’s career was definitely affected, though it continued.
NBCYou can watch the clip here:
NBCThe band caused a reported $200,000 of damage that night, and the broadcast was cut off before their last song, after one of the fans they brought screamed, “New York sucks!” into the mic.
Gary Leonard/Corbis via Getty ImagesThe fans bused in also reportedly threw a pumpkin into the chest of SNL producer Dick Ebersol.

NBC*This is contested; Lorne Michaels says it was a photo of a war refugee child from Bosnia, and O’Connor’s memoir describes the photo as being of a Brazilian child victim of police violence.
O’Connor’s reputation never truly recovered, and the performance was even mocked on future SNL episodes — but some thought it brave, especially in a modern lens, and Lorne Michaels seemingly has at least a little admiration for the act, though it was reported afterward that NBC banned her from the show.

NBCNotably, one of the only cast members not fired was Eddie Murphy, who you can see looking shocked in the above image.

ABCIt later came out that the incident had been staged by Kaufman, but audiences certainly did not know that, and neither did the crew members who ran onstage and tried to break up the brawl. The stunt worked, with Fridays co-creator John Moffitt saying it was responsible for getting the show renewed for another season.

MTVCelebrities, including Beyoncé, reacted with shock, and much of the audience booed. Later in the night, Beyoncé invited Taylor onstage to “have her moment” after Bey won Video of the Year.

Chris Polk / FilmMagic via Getty ImagesMadonna also kissed Christina Aguilera moments later (the camera panned to JT and missed this) — though apparently, it was supposed to be J.Lo, who couldn’t make it due to her filming a movie at the time. Apparently, Pink and Gwen Stefani were also asked to be involved.

CBSIt at first appeared Michaels was fine, with host Neil Patrick Harris joking that Michaels brought “a whole new meaning to headbanging.” However, the story became more dramatic with time — ten months later, Micheals nearly died from a brain hemorrhage he said was related to the incident.
Kevin Mazur / WireImage for Tony AwardsHe actually sued the Tony’s for this — a Tonys spokeswoman said he missed his mark, but they ended up settling with Michaels out of court.

ITVI’m not going to link the scene because it’s very sad, but the above still is from him speaking moments before an assistant came out to help him put on his coat for the sketch — directly after which he fell back.
The show’s host, Jimmy Tarbuck, realized what was happening and had the show cut to commercial. The show continued (none of the performers knew that Cooper was dead, only that he was not feeling well, and Tarbuck was told he was alright so that he’d be able to finish hosting the show) while attempts were made to save Cooper. Cooper was brought to the hospital and pronounced dead.
