You’re right!
That’s precisely how it reads.
Admittedly, I did NOT watch the interview.
On the other hand, I obviously can’t do punctuation, or proof reading, before posting :-)

Watch the video. Piers asks her to spell “Cracka” , obviously to differentiate the word “cracka” from the word cracker.
Unfortunately, she can't spell “cracka” and hems and haws, stalls, and then finally says it ends with an a without actually spelling “cracka” as Morgan had asked her to do.
Morgan obviously realizes about half way through her hems and haws, and in a panic, cuts in and spells it for her to save the day and his interview.
That's what he gets paid the big bucks for.
Had he not quickly cut in and bailed her out, the whole tone of the interview would have been ruined.
This was intended and carefully scripted to be the Rachel Jeantel rehabilitation and credibility boosting interview in the eyes of the nation and if she could not spell “cracka” on national TV she would have been exposed as every bit as ignorant and not credible as everyone perceived her to be in her court testimony.
