Michael Bay Walks out on CES Presentation [UPDATED With Bay’s Response]
He was supposed to be presenting an awesome new 150-inch curved-screen TV. And then the teleprompter went slightly off.
Watch what happened next.
Here’s how he explains it:
I got so excited to talk, that I skipped over the Exec VP’s intro line and then the teleprompter got lost. Then the prompter went up and down – then I walked off. I guess live shows aren’t my thing.
But I’m doing a special curved screen experience with Samsung and Transformers 4 footage that will be traveling around the world.
I guess it might have gone differently if someone had attacked him with an air conditioner instead.
