Mark Thompson calling Michael Smith "Michelle" on Greed[/quote]
That wasn't Mark Thompson who *initially* did it--it was Burton Richardson, who warmed up the first show and was supposed to announce it until Fox wanted someone else. But since the incident was so funny, it was left in and Thompson did the same gaffe when recording the voice-overs in post.
IIRC, Thompson didn't do warm-ups or was ever on-set--his work was always added in post. Corrections appreciated.

So Mark "recreated" the blooper. Shades of Kermit Schafer. I was so disillusioned when I found out most of the "bloopers" I had on a record as a kid were recreations.

Would that be Ross Schafer's infamous Match Game fall, that you are talking about?

No, it wouldn't be.
Do a Google search on "Kermit Schafer" and see what you find. You might learn something.

No. Kermit Schafer is the guy who first came up with marketing "Bloopers." There was a series of record albums that he compiled way back when with many recreations of bloopers. There was also an R-rated movie in the mid 70's that K-Tel distributed to theaters called "Pardon My Blooper." From there Dick Clark and Ed McMahon took the ball and ran with it.
