s - how stupid would I be if I did what I did? Don't say yes use your common sense don't forget the blog forget how you feel about me hate me if you want love me if you want but just use your common sense how stupid would it be of me to do it with my crazy pass and what have I been through for my 10th birthday by Dakota The Ellen DeGeneres Show Ellen DeGeneres is rarely blindsided by any of her guests, which makes this particularly awkward exchange with Dakota Johnson even more captivating.

It's good to see you happy, quite late, when was your birthday it was October 4th October 4th you turned 30 I did and how was the party I wasn't invited after asking about the actresses birthday party Ellen made the mistake of mentioning that she wasn't invited a throwaway joke that ended up not being true In fact, Johnson wasted absolutely no time in correcting, not really, that's not the truth, Ellen, you were invited for the last time, you know, the last time I was there on the show last year, he gave me a lot of shit about not inviting you, but I didn't even know you wanted to be on. invited to a party because I didn't even know you liked him Ellen's comedic timing manages to dissipate some of the tension in the situation, although that doesn't make interviews that start a few minutes in any less uncomfortable to watch, ask Jonathan your producer okay where wasn't I there why didn't I go I don't know if it was oh yeah I had that thing number nine Norman Mailer versus gore Vidal the Dick Cavett show I'd really like to get into discussion with Gore has been saying absolutely unspeakable things about me has been acting even worse than he usually does as a debater and you know he really is shameless an intellectual argument is absolutely about character a moral basis or even intellectual substance the Dick Cavett Show had its share of explosive sessions over the years years, but few compared to the sheer ferocity that defined the Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal segments.

Norman wrote a book about women's lib mmm-hmm and his attitudes toward sex. I'm very interesting, some quite scandalous, its very anti. The women's liberation article and he was very mean to a couple of girls, particularly Kate Millett, and I responded to this article of his and several others, you know. Norman was taking everything too personally and everyone got the lick from him in the mail. He was the driving force behind it. this

everything, in addition to his political campaign. I guarantee I wouldn't punch any of the people here because they are smaller in what sense intellectually intelligent, let me turn my chair and join these.

Three perhaps would like to have two more chairs to contain his giant intellect. The commercial even challenged Cabot and the audience's intelligence while on board Janet Flener sat there like a frustrated teacher presiding over a pair of schoolchildren while things never got violent on screen. she headbutted Badal that same night hey, can I talk to the old guys? Why don't you fold it five ways and put it where the moon doesn't shine? number eight Vince McMahon versus Bob Costas on the record with Bob Costas Vince McMahon thanks for The next Vince Plugger's XFL ratings are down 75 percent from week one and now rival the lowest primetime ratings ever recorded, not just for a sports program but for any television program.

Can you guarantee me right now that there will be a second year for the XFL, while some discussions start off softly and gradually become more contentious. Bob Costa's interview with WWE's Vince McMahon is underpinned by a palpable ferocity from the start, but in most people's minds it has no cachet due to the type of programming it's associated with - NBC, on the other hand It has prestige, they not only risked dollars, they risked prestige that seemed more like an interrogation than a discussion. Kostas questioned his guests about the failings of the professional wrestling from the most positive perspective do you want to let me finish here for a second friend I'm asking you the question you didn't keep your mouth shut and let me answer the question well I'll be happy to answer let me finish for him When the interview came to an end, McMahon appeared about to hit the host, although the pair would reunite for a much more cordial episode a year later, number 7, Morton Downey jr. versus Dry Morton Downey Jr.

Flashback to Morton Downey Jr. The show was closer to shows like the Jerry Springer Show than modern talk shows 10 bookstores yes, at 23 years old, friends, isn't this a wonderful country? You had Chen for 23 years, where did you get your money? I started with a store. Very Little Mommy Didn't Give You the Money Bob Wow, the pilot episode dealing with the adult film industry instantly set the tone of the show as the hosts used an aggressive interview style designed to put actress Seca immediately on the defensive. , how about you agree? with the fact that do you agree with the fact that 50% of all porn is controlled by the mafia and 90% of all money made from hardcore porn through distribution is handled by the mafia? that the live audience eight up and down this savage takedown of their guests, even if this all seems like a sensationalist stunt that sought to disparage Seika for easy ratings, you're absolutely right, it's correct.

I'd rather hear it from those people who have studied it than from someone who has slept with everyone they can find in a porn movie, no wonder Sica left during a commercial break number six. Patti LaBelle is not having a good time on Tyra Banks' show, who knew there was a pretty short conversation. around cupcakes and paper can be so uncomfortable there is paper on top yes you can't eat the paper no these are amazing you have it with your hands that's true two types of cake mix which seems to start as a genuine misunderstanding between the Hungry Girl cookbook writer.

Lisa Lillien and guest Patti LaBelle's role surrounding the cupcakes quickly turns into an improv session with cringe-worthy attempts at humor and condescending comments. Everything that is considered labeled managed to keep her calm despite being talked to like a small child, while the animosity relatively decreased. quickly, a segment about cupcakes should never have been so tense to watch I think I could eat the part the incident was so infamous that it inspired a 2020 Saturday Night Live sketch starring SNL cast member egg oh ay tumba as a substitute cook tagged ela floof and host Daniel Craig as the celebrity chef donates the aluminum foil, the aluminum foil.

Oh, no one, just don't eat the foil, that's it, I don't want to eat the thin stuff, okay, and make sure you don't eat the number five foil. Tom Cruise versus Matt Lauer today I never agreed with psychiatry. Before I was a Scientologist, I never agreed with psychiatry and then when I started studying the history of psychiatry, I started to realize more and more why I didn't agree with psychiatry and how When it came to Brooke Shields, look, yeah, I understand I really care about Brooke Shields During an interview with then-undisguised host of Today, Matt Lauer, Tom Cruise opened up about life and mental health in a rant that would possibly change public perception of the actor forever.

Matt, you have to understand this, here we are today, where I speak against drugs and psychiatric abuse of people who give electric shocks mm-hmm, it's okay, against their will, to drug children without knowing the effects Of these drugs, do you know what Adderall is? The strangest thing about this whole ordeal was that the interview was perfectly cordial for the first half, but the tone changed once Lauer mentioned Scientology, which snowballed into Cruise sharing his distrust of psychiatry as someone who knew the long history of the profession, so it's you. I am defending him NO, I am telling you in his case, the acquittals are his individual case, it worked, I am NOT going out, I will give your children Ritalin, it is the panacea, Matt in the end does not have that, here is the Point What is an ideal scene in life.

The interview became particularly heated once Brooke Shields became the topic of discussion with Cruz, going so far as to describe Lauer as a glib, maybe there are too many kids taking Ritalin, maybe shock your kids uncoiling. Just saying, but aren't there examples where it works? You're not even Glenn, you don't even know what wobble is. If you start talking about chemical imbalance, you have to evaluate and read the research articles on how to do it. They came up with these theories, Matt. Well, that's what I did for Whoopi Goldberg versus Bill O'Reilly. Opinion, as multiple arguments about opinion can attest, it's natural for discussions to get heated when politics, religion, or 9/11 are involved.

I know you have a lot of questions every time I talk about topics. Rosie O'Donnell and Elisabeth Hasselbeck had a notable exchange in 2007, but it was Bill O'Reilly's guest appearance in 2010 that caused tensions to boil over to unprecedented heights, hear me out because you. We'll learn that Oh Riley's generalization about Muslims prompts a verbal tirade from Whoopi Goldberg, who then proceeds to walk off the set along with co-host Joy Behar. In retrospect, there was no immediate friction between O'Reilly and Goldberg, but it certainly didn't take long for things to escalate. 3 Rosie O'Donnell vs. Tom Selleck The Rosie O'Donnell Show After the Columbine High School Massacre Rosie O'Donnell and Tom Selleck Ended Up in a Now Infamous Debate About Gun Control You Know, I Understand How You Feel This Is a truly contentious issue, probably as contentious and potentially as troubling as the issue of abortion in this country, all I can tell you is that there is a rush, a rush to pass legislation at a time of national crisis or grief.

I really don't think our own Selleck came. The talk show to promote the romantic comedy The Love Letter was surprised by O'Donnell, who was much more interested in discussing NRA guns and the Second Amendment. I don't speak through my mouth. I am not a spokesperson. You said I know now you are questioning my humanity no no your humanity I think you are a very semantic man yes I say I don't agree with you but I think you do but you can't say I won't take responsibility for anything N already represents, while Selleck attempted to maintain a degree of composure and civility at the beginning of the debate, the actors seemed to give up once it became clear that this argument was going to go around in circles.

I didn't come on your show so to have a debate I came on your show to promote a movie that's what I'm doing here and it's appropriate to have a debate about the NRA. I'm trying to be fair to you. You're calling me a spokesperson for the NRA. dos Cabral Doe Geraldo, while sometimes arguments arise from unlikely pairings, certain situations are intentionally designed to provoke controversy and hostility, if you truly believe in your convictions and your movement is as good and powerful as you say, why are you afraid to let others? people talk about why you are not like other minorities and you allow other people to seek whatever happiness they find in whatever religion they find when Geraldo invited a young white man from the Aryan resistance to the same program, a civil rights activist Roy Ennis, the program interview presumably anticipated a few fireworks, although an all-out brawl presumably exceeded the expectations of even the most ambitious television executives.

The reason I do that is because I get tired of hearing sob stories, like I'm sick and tired of seeing an Uncle Tom here trying. be a white boss well, no, let me tell you after one particularly racist comment, Ennis took matters into his own hands before the show lost complete control of its guests and audience in the end Geraldo Rivera ended up with a broken nose and a audience success. Before we reveal our number one pick, here are a few honorable mentions. Abel Ferrara Late Night Interview with Conan O'Brien because Ferrara wanted to be anywhere but doing an interview with Conan O'Brien.

Get those Stallone subtitles here.Morton Downey versus Kelly Everts. Morton Downey Jr. show because unwanted pelvic thrusts have no place in a civilized conversation let me introduce you to a new guest at home base her name is Kelly Everett she's a stripper for God's sake Kelly let me tell you something balance is always a jizz hit I'll know where Rudely interrupting the Wendy Williams show because Wendy Williams broke away from an audience member with a disturbing phone. Someone calls the switched off phone. Sorry, ma'am, whoever you are. Harvey Pekar pulls Late Night with David Letterman because he talks bad about the hosts. boss on live TV are rude comments about GE, but there's a reason you know people should be watching GE very closely and it has nothing to do with Robert Wright's bathroom habits and I want tell you about those things.

I'm not waiting, I'm serious, I know what the standard is now, man, don't do it. Paris Hilton Late Show with David Letterman because Letterman wanted to know about Hilton's time in jail and refused to let him. New York City is exciting, though, isn't it? I born here. Yeah, good for you, how would you like to be in jail before you continue?

Check it out Chris Evert it's good to have you on the show, you know what you know, you've been calling me that for the last five years. Now, two years really spin. Well, hey, you know, let me say something in a moment so infamous that South Park parodied it more than a decade later, after years of talking to Jim Rome mocking Jim Everett by calling him Chris in reference to the tennis player of the same name. that the Los Angeles Rams quarterback challenged the host to repeat it one more time during an interview, you know we're sitting here right now and if you want to take a break at the station you can, but if you call me Chris Evert to my face . one more time you better call him one more time we better stay let's take a break at the station Roma did it and instantly regretted it the segment is so extravagant that it almost seems like a stage however he has always maintained that it was legitimate no We have problems that I think you probably won't say again.
