After making the major, major mistake of forgetting Martin Short's wife had passed away during an interview with him yesterday, Today show host Kathie-Lee Gifford took to her Twitter to apologize to the actor, saying: "I send my sincerest apologies to @MartinShort and his family. He handled situation w/enormous grace and kindness and I'm so grateful."

This would have been fine, except that is not actually Short's Twitter handle. So yes, first she forgot his wife died of cancer two year ago and proceeded to ask him how they keep their marriage so great, then she apologized to the wrong guy. Good job, Kathie-Lee.
