Michael Bay makes a brief, awkward appearance at Samsung's CES press conference.
Transformer Director Michael Bay was blindsided by a malfunctioning teleprompter Monday afternoon while appearing on stage at Samsung's news conference at CES launching the new 105-inch curved UHD.
Unable to make a speech without the teleprompter, Bay became clearly agitated before fleeing in front of hundreds of reporters, leaving Samsung Executive Vice President Joe Stinziano alone on stage.
In a blogpost on the director's website, Bay said: "Wow! I just embarrassed myself at CES."
"I rarely lend my name to any products, but this one is just stellar," Bay said. "I got too 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."
He added that he was doing a "special curved screen experience with Samsung and "Transformers 4" footage that will travel the world.
