[ # ] Watch Larry King get control of an uncontrollable interview
August 9th, 2016 under Larry King


Larry King has been interviewing people since before you and I were born, so he has this thing down by now. Eric Andre thought he could one up the legendary host and he was mistaken. So mistaken he had his a$$ handed to him and he totally deserved it.
As part of Larry King Now, he asks the guests questions as part of the If You Only Knew Segment. Andre was being a d!ck and answered almost all of them with Larry King. Eventually, when the Ora TV host got his subject to reveal something about himself, he was able to get regain control of the interview. A few more times, Andre tried to sabotage the chat, but King kept showing him who was boss.
Even when the comedian, I use the term lightly, tried to shock his interviewer. Andre revealed that he wanted to commit suicide on the stage because it has never been done before. Not letting him off of that train of thought, King kept pressing him on it until they got the end of the scenario with dead seriousnes.
If I was King, I would’ve lost my sh!t with the a$$hole, but he was professional and never did. It is quite incredible to watch. So incredible, I think it should be shown to journalism students around the world. It is a great lesson on how to handle an unruly guest.
When it comes to Andre, he is a schmuck. It is one thing to do your shtick on your own show, but don’t do it on others. That is why he is career is not bigger and it could be because he has some talent. Although, I am rethinking that now. Grow up and think how other people will perceive you. There is a time and place for your act and know when that is.
