Eli Finish Jokes About Keshet 12's Mistake Inviting His Late Mother to TV Segment

Eli Finish, an Israeli actor and stand-up comedian, responded with dark humor to a blunder by Keshet 12's "Morning News" investigative team. The show's reporter, Hadar, invited Finish to participate in a new segment called "Amaleh," where a celebrity's mother's photo is shown and the panel guesses her identity before interviewing the mother. However, the team failed to verify that Finish's mother had passed away 42 years ago. Finish replied to Hadar, "My mother died 42 years ago, but I'm sure she would have loved to participate. She always enjoyed Keshet 12's Morning News." He shared a screenshot of the exchange on his Instagram account with the caption "Laughing, Hadar," sparking amused reactions from industry peers and followers online. The incident highlights the importance of basic fact-checking in media production to avoid embarrassing mistakes.
