Overview
- During a live Today segment on Jan. 6, Craig Melvin asked Jodie Foster to deliver a French line, and she mistakenly said the show was on CBS instead of NBC.
- Melvin immediately corrected the error as Foster joked that the names share the same letters, asked to cut the moment, and then laughed when reminded the show was live.
- Clips of the exchange circulated on X, where users shared the video and posted lighthearted reactions to the blooper.
- Foster appeared on the NBC morning show to promote A Private Life, her first major French-speaking leading role, opening in select U.S. theaters Jan. 16 and nationwide Jan. 30.
- Coverage also highlighted Foster’s longstanding French fluency from early schooling and her recent César and Lumière Award nominations tied to the film.
