A graphic on NBC's "Today" show on Wednesday misidentified "Saturday Night Live" creator Lorne Michaels as "Lauren."
The flub by a graphics person, made on the East Coast feed of the morning show, was corrected for broadcasts in other time zones and online, the network said.
"Today" had interviewed Michaels for a story Matt Lauer did on a New York gathering for people listed by Time magazine as the 100 most influential in the world.
