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.

She was reading the phonic pronunciations on the cards that were give to her. At most she is guilty of taking so long to figured out the problem with them. It's more of a critical thinking issue. She trusted too much in what was given to her and didn't second guess the cards.
If I were one of the parents, I would have walked up, taken the mic, and took over. Absolutely pathetic.

I attended my daughter's graduation from Columbia in a place outside Columbia. The students were not announced in any clear order corresponding to the alphabetical order in the book.
How is that even possible ?
They studied hard and they got this. Thats disgusting
It was probably Dylan that pushed Peru over the edge 😂
Two points: (1) The university blames phonetic cue cards for the problem. If that was so, why did replacing this announcer with another solve the problem? (2) What kind of nursing school fails to understand how important correct pronunciation is in nursing? Getting names, drugs, treatments or medical orders wrong can mean a patient dies.
This sounds like someone in 1st grade attempting to read.
The lady who read speaks totally clear english and read an apology that was coherent
That's DEI for you.

Being classified as a mental illness has never been a signal for people to cause anyone harm. On the contrary, it garners you sympathy and a means to get the help you need.
All those graduates should sue for their total tuition back for the whole time. They can claim that if the names are so botched, they may be in jeopardy of having been miseducated in the first place.
She had to be doing that on purpose. Surely no one is this stupid.
