maybe the text is supposed to be revealed from the right to the left, and it hasn't finished all the way?

No, this actually happened. Caused quite a stir and it wasn't caught until the tape was reviewed, IIRC. I have no idea who was on Deko that day but it's funny as hell.

Dalton, I've always been curious, how far ahead of time are those made? And are they just templates to put letters on?

The lower third banner is premade blank. Text is either automated or typed in by the Deko operator; in this case, I'd say it was automated and went completely unnoticed.

Notice how she's THE white ho. It's her official title. She should put it on her business cards and the door to her office.

This summer, Norah O'Donnell is... The White Ho.

Either it was a real mistake or they have white supremacists working there.
