Rubin quickly apologized and tried to get back on point, but Jackson refused to back down and continued to berate the entertainment reporter. Rubin later apologized on air, claiming an intention to bring up the Captain America: Winter Soldier trailer that aired during the Super Bowl, but forgetting his purpose once Jackson called him out.
