We can hear it now:
“For the last time, anything you put on that prompter, Shepard Smith will read!” – Fox News‘ Head of Content.
One of Fox’s most popular anchors, Shepard had one of the biggest on-air brain farts to date when he accidentally (we’ll give him the benefit of the doubt on that one) credited Leonardo DiCaprio with painting the Mona Lisa.
Now, Leo is a lot of things – Oscar-nominated actor, environmental activist, rampant modeliser – but, last time we checked, he wasn’t a Renaissance painter with the ability to time travel to the 1500s.
More specifically, this guy:
Wait, unless…
Na, not him.
But history be damned, Shepard offered viewers an “update from scientists trying to identify the model for Leonardo DiCaprio’s Mona Lisa.”
Hahahaha! Shepard Smith just said Leonardo DiCaprio painted the Mona Lisa!!!! pic.twitter.com/fFTKFqn4k3
