Michelle Beadle Appeared to Mix Up Charlie Murphy and JB Smoove, Admits She "Messed Up Bigly"
During a SportsNation segment on Charlie Murphy’s death on Wednesday, Michelle Beadle said, “For me, he was probably my favorite part of Curb Your Enthusiasm. When he came on that thing I was like, ‘Yep, I’m in again.'”
