The Hill reported earlier today that NBC had released a number of promos for this weekend’s episode of “Saturday Night Live,” which will be hosted by Donald Trump. In one, Trump was given four seconds of “equal time” and used it to declare, “So let me just say this: Ben Carson is a complete and total loser!”

The Hill reported in an update that NBC had decided to pull the promo specifically mentioning “complete and total loser” Ben Carson. A spokesman for NBC explained that three of the eight SNL promos were not meant to air, and blamed the accidental posting of the wrong YouTube link for making them public.

Accidentally? Yeah, that’s the ticket.
@PeterAlexander Odd…because the "loser" snippet was also posted on the SNL site (not youtube)
