At the start of the show during the Oscar discussion Robin made the statement that the Wizard of Oz never won an Oscar but people are still watching that movie. While the movie may not have won Best Picture, its was still nominated for Best Picture and did in fact win two Oscars. This took me less than 30 seconds to check.

     They were discussing the Academy Awards show from last night.
     
     Robin: "There was one speech...the guy...I think it was the guy who wrote the screenplay for 'Precious'...and then that woman barged in and took over his speech. Did you see that?"
     
     Gary came over the squawk box to correct Robin. At the same time Fred chimed in "no, no," to also correct Robin.
     
     It was for Best Documentary Short, "Music By Prudence," where the woman appeared to barge onto the stage and hijack the acceptance speech.
     
     "Precious" won for Best Adapted Screenplay...and that acceptance speech was memorable since the winner was almost speechless. Afterwards, Steve Martin came out and joked that he wrote that winner's acceptance speech. (Robin was corrected about this.)
     
     I'd also like to add that Robin messed up two names: She called Hattie McDaniel "McDaniels" ... and Zoe Saldana "Saldano." For someone who gets paid to talk about pop culture, Robin sure does mispronounce a lot of famous names.

     During her news segment, Robin reported on the Sarah Palin appearance on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno."
     
     Robin reported that Palin's appearance was yesterday (March 3rd). Robin was wrong. Sarah Palin appeared on "The Tonight Show" Tuesday, March 2. (Please note that the Palin appearance received wide media coverage, as Palin did a stand-up comedy routine; and she was up against Mitt Romney's appearance on Letterman, with the Leno show beating Letterman in the ratings.)

     Robin reported that Burt Reynolds is recovering from bypass surgery after suffering a heart attack. Searching the Internet, all the stories about Mr. Reynolds said the surgery was planned a month in advance with no mention of a heart attack. For example:
     http://blog.taragana.com/e/2010/03/04/burt-reynolds-recovering...
     
      So where did Robin get the idea there was a heart attack involved? I did a Google search for the terms "Burt Reynolds" and "heart attack" and one of the first hits read as follows:
     
     "Burt Reynolds recovering after open-heart surgery Mar 4, 2010 ... NEW YORK - American actor Burt Reynolds is said to have undergone ... surgery after suffering a heart attack at the weekend (27-28Feb10). ..."
     
     When you click on the link, you find that the person who had the heart attack was the rapper GURU, not Burt Reynolds. Other hits list other heart attack victims but not Mr. Reynolds. That's why you have to click on the link & not rely on the summary! Great job Quivers!

     While Howard was talking about his conversation with Simon Cowell, he mentioned that it was a good talk and they would definitely be talking again.
     
     Robin, once again proving she pays no attention to the show unless it concerns her, says, "So he'll come back next week..." Apparently she thought Howard was talking about one of the contestants, not the host of the show.
     
     Her score of "34" is probably TOO LOW...

     During a brief discussion of President Richard Nixon, Robin characterized the Watergate break-in as follows: "They learned nothing from that robbery that helped them win the election." It wasn't a robbery, it was a burglary. From the Encyclopedia Brittanica: ""robbery":
     in criminal law, an aggravated form of theft that involves violence or the threat of violence against a victim in his presence. Many criminologists have long regarded statistics on robbery to be one of the most accurate gauges of the overall crime rate" No victim was present nor was there a threat of violence against anyone. It was a third-rate burglary. http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1791.html

     Howard asked how many people live on the planet.
     
     Robin answered that she didn't know (although she really should know there are approx. 6.8 billion people total).
     
     After saying she did not know the total population of our planet, she tried to make herself sound better by saying she does know that China has several billion people.
     
     Robin is wrong again. The population of China today is approx. 1.339 billion.
     
     No one would define 1.339 billion as "several billion."

     Mr. Skin was in the studio this morning. During the interview he revealed he has worked out in the same gym with Obama, who was a senator at that time.
     
     Of course Howard wanted to know if perhaps Mr. Skin caught a glance of Obama's penis in the shower. Mr. Skin saw Obama in the shower, but only saw his ass.
     
     It was then thrown out there that seeing Obama's penis at that time would not have been a big deal since it would have only been observing "Senator Penis" (and not "Presidential Penis").
     
     Robin jumped in to add that you can see 100 senators' penises (affirming it would have been no big deal).
     
     Yes, Robin was attempting to be funny, but her saying "100" is inaccurate and not possible. There are 17 female senators right now. That means there are only 83 penises in the Senate.

     During the news Robin reported on a new show called Parenthood starring Peter Krause. Of course Robin pronounced the star's name wrong and said "Krause" (rhymes with house) instead of the correct pronunciation, which is Krow-za(kraʊzə according to Wikipedia). Not a huge mistake, and probably a common one, however a news person should get the pronunciation correct.

     During a story about Olympic skater Nancy Kerrigan, Robin described her as "the skater whose father was killed by her brother." While it doesn't look good for Nancy's brother, he is still presumed innocent until proven guilty. He has pled not guilty to the charges.
     
     The greenest cub reporter knows to use the word "allegedly" as in "whose father was allegedly killed by her brother" to avoid a defamation lawsuit in the event he is acquitted of the charges. Why doesn't Robin know this basic tenet of reporting alleged crimes?

     During her news segment, Robin reported that Roger Ebert made an appearance on the Oprah Show yesterday, where he was able to speak through a computer program that mimicked his own voice.
     
     Robin expressed she was unhappy she missed the episode. She asked if someone in the back could perhaps pull some clips.
     
     Robin yet again reported the wrong facts during her news segment.
     
     About 2 minutes later, someone in the back informed Howard that Ebert's Oprah appearance will be today.
     
     I knew Robin was wrong immediately, even before Howard corrected her since Ebert's appearance has been widely publicized on the news.
     

     Shortly before Howard's live appearance on the CBS Early Show, Howard talked with the visiting producer of the Early Show segment.
     
     Julie Chen's name was brought up by Howard.
     
     Robin jumped in to shout out: When is Julie going to have the baby? How long can she carry the baby? (Not a word for word quote, but this is what she shouted out.)
     
     The producer informed Robin that Julie did indeed give birth to Les Moonves' kid.
     
     Robin responded by saying she thought Julie had the baby. (Another failed attempt at Robin covering her embarrassment.)
     
     Yeah, right, Robin. If you truly thought Julie had had the baby, why did you say what you said?
     
     The baby was born September 24, 2009. There was wide news reporting when the birth occurred.

     This morning Howard was talking about the Governor of NY and a scandal that he is in regarding a domestic dispute allegation between one of his aides and a woman.
     
     As Howard explained the story to the listeners Robin piped in and said, "Well domestic dispute means that they were fighting in the house", then of course cackled like a moron.
     
     As usual Robin is incorrect. By definition domestic disputes happen by one or both partners in an intimate relationship such as marriage, dating, family, friends or living together. This does not mean that it has to happen in the house, it can happen anywhere. I am so glad she's not an attorney.

     Howard was recounting his attendance at a movie premiere. He saw Regis Philbin & his wife Joy walking down toward seats in the third row. Howard remarked that the seats were so close to the screen that "He's going to go blind." Robin responded: "No wonder he can't find his seats." Wrong again, idiot! What Howard meant was that if Regis watched the movie from those up close seats, he'd go blind as a result. Robin's comment clearly meant that she thought Regis was already going blind before the movie even started. Duh!
     
     Admin Note: This one is iffy. I'm not sure I believe that Robin didn't understand what he meant, I think she just blurted out a dumb comment. They've all done this before. It's because they have to fill airtime and avoid dead air. That sometimes leads to talking without fully thinking through your comment.

     At about 8:17 a.m., Howard was doing a live commercial for AshleyMadison.com which naturally led to him talking about the upcoming Tiger Woods Beauty Pageant since Ashley Madison is sponsoring.
     
     Howard asked: "What day is the pageant?"
     
     Robin jumped in: "March 1st."
     
     Gary immediately piped up to remind Robin: "Today is March 1st" Gary corrected Robin by saying the pageant will be March 10.
     
     Robin then attempted to blame Jason for her error, implying that he was somehow signaling the pageant would be on March 1st (which he really was not), rather than just admit her mind was suffering from some kind of confusion/memory loss.

     Howard said he is appearing on CBS tomorrow morning to bash Jay Leno. Robin chimed in that Howard would be appearing on the "CBS Morning Show." Gary quickly corrected Robin that the name of the show is "The CBS Early Show." Confirmed here: http://www.thewrap.com/ind-column/stern-plans-...
