Samuel L. Jackson Gives L.A. Anchor Hard Time (VIDEO)

A very awkward interview where a Los Angeles entertainment anchor mistakes Samuel L. Jackson for Laurence Fishburne while on live TV is making its rounds on the Internet after Jackson gives the anchor a hard time, followed by some jokes.

Jackson was giving an interview with KTLA to promote his new movie "RoboCop" on Monday when the anchor starts off by asking him about the feedback from his non-existant Super Bowl commercial, according to USA Today.

"Did you get a lot of reaction to that Super Bowl commercial?" the anchor named Sam Rubin asks a confused Jackson who then responds with "What Super Bowl commercial?"

"See, you're as crazy as the people on Twitter," says Jackson, shaking a pointed finger at the camera. "I'm not Laurence Fishburne!"

Rubin pauses for a moment, realizing his mistake, and tries to recover by repeatedly apologizing, but Jackson was not amused.

"We don't all look alike!" Jackson begins his rant. "We may be all black and famous, but we don't all look alike!"

Rubin can be seen on the left side of the screen glancing nervously while others can be heard trying to ease the awkward moment, by chiming in and making jokes about the mistake.

"You're the entertainment reporter for this station and you don't know the difference between me and Laurence Fishburne?" Jackson says while Rubin slaps himself in the face.

Then, Rubin begins to move the conversation to Jackson's new movie, but Jackson continues to explain the difference between him, Fishburne and Morgan Freeman, and the commercials they're in.

Rubin seems to get flustered and asks Jackson if he wants to list everyone he is not as Jackson finishes the awkward moment by stating: "And I'm the only black guy in RoboCop that's not a criminal."
