Last Saturday night, Don Pardo made a funny gaffe doing the opening announce on Saturday Night Live. He gave the name of Chris Kattan when he was supposed to say "Chris Parnell." He quickly caught and corrected his own mistake, which was then fixed for the West Coast broadcast. If a show is supposed to be live, they ought to leave in things like that.
In other late night announcer news, some time in March, Edd Hall is departing as Jay Leno's guy. No word yet on a replacement. Hall has had a pretty good track record in late night TV. He worked for ten years for David Letterman, mostly behind the camera in a production capacity and doing graphic design but occasionally in sketches. Then he logged twelve as Jay's announcer. You can find out more about the guy over at his website.
