Veteran KTLA entertainment reporter Sam Rubin isn't well known in Los Angeles for being particularly good at his job. But mistaking Samuel L. Jackson for Laurence Fishburne during an interview this morning is a new low, even for Rubin.

An embarrassed Rubin admitted that Jackson was "100% right" regarding the fact that Samuel L. Jackson is not Laurence Fishburne.

Rubin was forced to end the newscast with this apology about his "well-deserved shellacking" for his "very amateur mistake":
