We've all done it. Something seems logical in our brain, but when it comes out of our mouth, we hear how incredibly stupid it really was. At least for most of us when it happens, it doesn't take place on national television. Evan Kaufman wasn't so lucky.

It all happened when Kaufman appeared on The $100,000 Pyramid game show. He was given the clue "People Whose Last Name Is Obama," Sounds simple enough, right? Barack, Michelle, Sasha, and Malia all come to mind, but after seemingly studying the board for some time, Kaufman said:
