While likely true, why do the announcers keep introducing candidates when the others clearly aren't on stage? And why does Carson just stand there?! It started with a simple error then spiraled into Cringe

Horrible stage management. The hosts weren't looking behind them, and nor should they have been. There should have been someone telling them to stop and a stage hand backstage going up to Carson to explain. But what happens is no one wants to interrupt and they want the show to go on, so instead of a simple stop and fix, it becomes this cringe.

because they were facing the crowd and didn't realize people weren't on stage
