Tony Dokoupil offered an apology to Buzz Aldrin on the Friday, October 31, episode of CBS Mornings after incorrectly stating that the astronaut is dead.
The mistake occurred during a conversation about Kim Kardashian‘s recent comments about the 1969 moon landing. On the Thursday, October 30, episode of The Kardashians, Kardashian claimed that in his old age, Aldrin, 95, had accidentally revealed that the moon landing was fake.
