E! apologizes over Michael J. Fox 'fun fact' Network executives respond to online complaints over on-screen trivia WENN Executives at E! have offered an apology to Michael J. Fox after listing his battle with Parkinson's disease as a "fun fact" during the Golden Globes pre-show. The channel is one of the leading networks for awards season reporting, with presenters Ryan Seacrest and Giuliana Rancic taking to the red carpet to interview A-list stars. During E!'s coverage of the Globes prizegiving on Sunday night, celebrity trivia popped up on the screen, but one note about veteran actor Fox sparked a series of complaints online.

Bosses at the network have now apologized in a statement, which reads, "We understand the serious nature of the disease and sincerely apologize." Fox was nominated for Best Actor in a TV Series Comedy for "The Michael J. Fox Show," which follows a news anchor's return to work four years after a Parkinson's disease diagnosis, but the star was beaten by "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" star Andy Samberg.
