Moon landing conspiracy theorist is mocked on The Chaser
A contestant from Channel Seven’s The Chaser has been mocked mercilessly online after emerging as a conspiracy theorist on the hit show.
In a pre-quiz interview with host Larry Emdur during Thursday’s episode, Laura, a mother-of-two, said she believed that the 1969 Apollo 11 moon landing never happened.
Larry then began Laura’s round of questions by asking the name of the first person to set foot on the moon. She then answered correctly: ‘Neil Armstrong.’
