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.
Larry King was on Conan O’Brien’s talk show yesterday and the TBS host wanted to know more about his guest’s new line of bedding line Sleep Like a King. Since the man under the sheets didn’t know anything about them, the three men decided to experience them first hand. Thus, production rolled out a King sized bed and the three of them got into it together. The thread count was so luxurious that King and Andy Richter declared that they love each other.
Too bad they didn’t bring out the bed when the p0rn expert was on! Need I say more?
Gillian Anderson was on Larry King Now to talk about Fox’s reboot of The X-Files that debuts on Sunday night, and the host wanted to know what it was like working with David Duchovny. Scully didn’t hold back as she told him, “It was complicated, I think for both of us” Then she explained, “We spent every waking hour with each other, and, 9 months a year for 7 years.” Adding, “At times we both felt the pressure of that relationship, such an intense relationship. We went up and down in our relationship.”
Thankfully, that was then and this is now. Now there are rumors the two of them have different type of relationship, one fans of the show have secretly been wanting since the pilot.
Tom Jones was the first singer that woman started throwing their underwear at, and on Larry King Now he revealed how it all started.
Back in 1968, he was playing the Copacabana and women were handing him table napkins because he was perspiring. Then he said, “This woman stood up, lifted her skirt, took them off and went (motioning to her handing them to him) like this. So I said (and pretended to wipe his forehead with the imaginary panties and then handed them back to her), watch you don’t catch cold.” Well, there was a columnist in the audience and they wrote about it. Thus, the legend was born.
Can I tell you, when I was living in Atlanta I used to usher concerts there. One of the shows I did was Tom Jones’ and I was on Panty Duty. That meant I had to try to catch them before they got to him. Let’s just Granny Panties are not fun when they are thrown at you.
For years, whenever Betty White is asked which actor she would like to work with, she has always said Robert Redford. The Oscar winner has never answered a call, nor has he said if he would. When Larry King Now asked him if she has a chance, he said, “Up until a point.” He’d be lucky to have her up until any point because he is not hot as he used to be and she’s even hotter.
