determining whether the data of the modification matches the data associated with the live video;

in response to determining that the data of the modification matches the data associated with the live video, determining that the modification of the social media component is relevant to the live video; and

in response to determining that the data of the modification does not match the data associated with the live video, determining that the modification of the social media component is not relevant to the live video.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

continuing to monitor the social media component of the person of interest for further modifications for the duration of a broadcast of the live video; and

providing the further modifications simultaneously with the live video when the further modifications are detected.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the providing of the further modifications simultaneously with the live video when the further modifications are detected comprises:

determining whether the further modifications are relevant to the live video; and

in response to determining that the further modifications are relevant to the live video, providing the further modifications simultaneously with the live video when the further modifications are detected; and

in response to determining that the further modifications are not relevant to the live video, refraining from providing the further modifications simultaneously with the live video when the further modifications are detected.

10. A system for presenting relevant and timely social chatter by a featured person in a live video, the system comprising:

communications circuitry;

facial recognition circuitry; and

control circuitry configured to:

detect a person of interest being displayed in a live video;

identify, using the facial recognition circuitry, an identity of the person of interest;

compare, using the communications circuitry, the identity of the person of interest to entries of a database of social media profiles;

identify, based on the comparing, a social media component that corresponds to the person of interest;

determine that the person of interest has modified the social media component within a predefined period of time by:

identifying a time stamp corresponding to modification of the social media component; and

determining that the time stamp is within a predefined period of time of when the person of interest was detected in the live video;

in response to determining that the person of interest has modified the social media component within the predefined period of time, provide information relating to a modification of the social media component simultaneously with the live video.
