Dear Gossips,
So how about the time Nightline, during a profile of Quantico’s Priyanka Chopra, aired footage of Yukta Mookhey instead? Yukta was Miss World in 1999. Priyanka was named Miss World in 2000. People on Twitter noticed right away:
Uh oh, @Nightline! That's Yukta Mookhey when she was crowned Miss World. Not @priyankachopra! pic.twitter.com/6WDFcc8LSr

Nightline then corrected the story and apologised:
Our sincerest apologies @priyankachopra . Here is the corrected story: https://t.co/9IYV8kXfbn

Priyanka is “the first Indian actor to star in a primetime drama on American TV”. (Source) Quantico premiered to good numbers and decent reviews on Sunday night…on ABC. Which airs Nightline. Like, it was a network priority to promote the show and they couldn’t tell their lead apart from someone else. Makes me feel better about all my typos.
Yours in gossip,
Lainey
