Bewitched was an American comedy that aired from 1964-1972. The show was about a witch, played by Elizabeth Montgomery. Occasionally when performing a spell, Montgomery would wiggle her nose.
I Dream of Jeannie was an American comedy that aired from 1965-1970. The show was about a genie, played by Barbara Eden. Occasionally when performing a wish, Eden would fold her arms and nod.

A friendly reminder to reporters: Do your homework before interviews lest you suffer the same fate as this guy.
