——
On Sunday's episode of The $100,000 Pyramid on ABC a contestant made the mistake of mixing up former Taliban leader Osama bin Laden with Barack Obama.

The game show, which pairs a contestant with a celebrity as they offer clues based on a topic for their partner to guess, saw the contestant in question, a new father named Evan Kaufman, paired with Saturday Night Live alum Tim Meadows.

As Kaufman's round began, starting with the easiest topics at the bottom of the pyramid, the hint in question was "People Whose Last Name is Obama." Instead of citing the former president or his wife, Michelle, Kaufman first said "bin Laden" before offering the name Barack after a pause. Meadows quickly offered the correct answer after Kaufman provided the former president's first name.

It would have been funnier if a mother-in-law was mentioned as the Taliban leader.

So for the question "People Whose Last Name is Obama," he gave someone else's last name? He mucked it up on two counts. He wasn't from South Carolina by chance was he?
