Update: Michael Bay has written about the experience on his blog. Here’s his take on the matter.
Wow! I just embarrassed myself at CES – I was about to speak for Samsung for this awesome Curved 105-inch UHD TV. I rarely lend my name to any products, but this one is just stellar. 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.
Yikes! RT @klustout: Truly painful (And no pyrotechnics.) RT @verge: Watch Michael Bay melt down onstage at #CES vrge.co/JZvYYZ
