Zooey Deschanel got quite the shock yesterday when she was mistakenly identified as one of the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings on Fox News.
According to Peter Ogburn, while the radio show producer and writer was watching the manhunt for a second suspect unfold on his local Fox station, the "New Girl" star's name was misidentified in the closed captioning as 19-year-old Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev.
"Marathon bombing, he is 19-year-old Zooey Deschanel," read the misleading (and completely incorrect) caption.
Tsarnaev was ultimately arrested Friday night after he was found hiding in a boat behind a home in Watertown, Mass.
"Oh come on, Fox," Ogburn wrote, sharing a pic of his TV screen on Twitter.
And Deschanel had something to say, as well, tweeting:
Whoa! Epic closed captioning FAIL! “@joelmchale: Oh my RT @peterogburn: twitter.com/peterogburn/st…”
