Jimmy Kimmel Notices a Lot of News Anchors Confused About Mickey Rooney’s Death (Video)

“I loved Andy Rooney,” one anchor told her viewers this week as she reported the death of Mickey Rooney

While Hollywood mourned the loss of film and television icon Mickey Rooney this week, a bunch of news anchors were still bummed about Andy Rooney, a CBS broadcaster who died in 2011.

Jimmy Kimmel, of course, caught the slip ups and compiled them for his audiences viewing pleasure on Tuesday.

“Andy Rooney, the pint-sized actor who was a giant on stage and screen, has died,” a Fox 11 Los Angeles anchor told her viewers this week.

Some got a little more personal and professed their love for the “60 Minutes” star, who shared a last name with the Rooney that died at the age of 93 on Sunday. Others relished in childhood memories, which obviously were a bit hazy.
