Barbara Walters celebrates 30 years of primetime specials with a light-hearted, poignant and often hysterical two-part special, �Barbara Walters Special: 30 Mistakes in 30 Years.� Walters shares her interviews with world leaders, athletes, musicians and Hollywood icons, chronicling her mistakes and their mistakes. �Barbara Walters Special: 30 Mistakes in 30 Years� airs on Thursday, November 16 (10:01-11:00 p.m., ET) and Friday, November 17 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

Some of those mistakes are legendary and have turned into classic television moments:

Mistake # 30: �NEVER ASK ANYONE WHAT KIND OF A TREE THEY WANT TO BE�

Such was the case when Walters asked Katharine Hepburn that question � it�s a moment that has dogged Walters throughout her career.

Mistake #26: �ENOUGH ALREADY WITH THE VIRGINITY TALK�

Walters discusses loosing one�s virginity with Patrick Dempsey, Don Johnson, Ricky Martin and Liam Neeson.

Mistake # 14: �DANCING IS FINE � STRIPPING IS OUT OF THE QUESTION�

Demi Moore teaches Walters how to dance like a stripper, and it is not a good idea to teach Barbara Walters how to dance like a stripper.

Mistake # 3: �DON�T CALL ONE FAMOUS CELEBRITY BY THE NAME OF ANOTHER FAMOUS CELEBRITY�

Walters accidentally calls Arnold Schwarzenegger by the name of another famous celebrity.
