"I couldn't hear her, and it's very hard to talk to somebody like that," Miller said. "I give credit to Holly Hunter. She was a pro, a class act. She saved the interview."
The technical problem explains the awkward delays and stumbled speaking but doesn't shed light on the most talked-about part of the interview, when Miller directed viewers to another news network's Web site for further coverage.
"It was just a blooper, it happens. Why do football players fumble sometimes? It was a disaster," she said of the network misidentification.
Message boards and bloggers have spared no expense in lambasting Miller in front of the entire online world. One viewer went so far as to call her the "worst host ever."
"It's hurtful, the outcome. It's extremely embarrassing," Miller said.
But Miller said she learned a lot from the experience.
"The power of the Internet is so [great]," she said. "I'm involved in some online ventures, and my gut had told me that [the Internet] was the future of the world [and this proves] that viral marketing has really kicked in. I'm going to take this phenomenon that I created and drive it somewhere."
