Fred Savage is not dead
Relax 80s babies, Fred is not dead.
Fred Savage is among the living despite an internet hoax that spread after an image of a curly-haired kid actor popped up on the screen before the commercial break prior to the Emmy’s “In Memoriam” segment last night.
Tons of folks thought it was a video of Savage that flashed on the screen.
It was really Corey Haim. The “Lucas” star died unexpectedly in March.
Haim’s name was displayed on the screen during the actual in memoriam segment, but by that point, the Twitterverse was already in a tizzy.
Savage, the star of the “Wonder Years,” became a Google Trend topic. Fake ‘news’ stories about his death in a car crash were passed around.
Poor Corey Haim, upstaged during his own in memoriam.
