Sky News host in hysterics over common student names ‘badly mangled’ at graduation

Sky News host Rita Panahi reacts to video of a graduation presenter “badly mangling” students names.

The video of the Thomas Jefferson University Nursing graduation went viral after the announcer mispronounced several students' names during the ceremony.

The presenter seemed to struggle to pronounce common names including Stephanie, Elizabeth and Thomas throughout the graduation.

The university has since apologised and explained that the mispronunciation of student’s names was due to the way phonetic spellings were shown on the presenter's name cards.

Ms Panahi compared the graduation ceremony to the ‘Key and Peele’ skit.

“That whole catastrophe reminds of me this classic roll call sketch from ‘Key and Peele,’” Ms Panahi said.
