Arsenio Hall had the Olsen Twins on.They were nervous children and just said yes or no or shrugged their shoulders.Arsenio finally looked at the camera and said I am in talk show host pergatory here folks.
I've always liked Arsenio, but my Lord----he was a terrible interviewer. The Olsen Twins acted the same way on Johnny Carson's show, but he handled it brilliantly (on account of being a stupendous interviewer).
That interview with Jerry Seinfeld was so hard to watch the first time I saw it. It was just Seinfeld absolutely berating the host for asking a simple question.
@@winthorpetroismaybe so, but that didn't give Jerry an excuse to be an ass hat. He's just an entitled jerk that let the fame and money go to his head.
why do u guys come down on him i think hes pretty funny and cool you should see the assholes we have in australia as hosts their all macho shitheads big tough wankas whom think we are remotely interested in whatever they talk about i,l have jimmy fallon over them anyday
Jimmy fallon is not the worth only because you don't like him. Maybe he not that good but hes not the worst. Your clearly 🙄 not a fan of his. You hate him. And you like him than don't watch him. And his not a guest he's a talk show host.
@@canonkingsley6569 I'm happy he isn't. You don't have to hate him only because you think he's not good. And apparently he has more than 25 millions subscribers. How much do you have? Probably way less than him. Shut up.
Tren Kokoko He’s genuinely really nice and laid back. He just isn’t a fan of fame, it makes him uncomfortable. He gets nervous on talk shows, he usually does a grumpy old man shtick.
Personally...I would rather watch Mark Hamill do an impersonation of Harrison Ford than listen to Harrison Ford. He is soooooo boring. Whenever I see that Harrison Ford is a guest on ANY late night show, I turn the channel quickly! You can tell right from the start that he would rather be somewhere else...or doing anything else. If a producer is wanting the movie to sell more tickets, please get a different actor to promote it, because Ford is a big turn off. Mark Hamill is such an articulate & all around good guy, that he is interesting to listen to. Especially when he is telling stories about the early days of Star Wars actors; Ford and Fisher!
harrison ford has literally given EVERYONE shit.... from letterman to conan, fallen to colbert.... he's just known for being either generally uninterested and bored, or stoned out of his mind. his typically known for being the absolute worst interview of all time for many people.
Is anyone surprised? Many celebrities are scintillating in front of a camera with words written by a writer. In real life, most of them are as dull as dishwater.
Interviews are just questions and answers, it's sometimes hard to make a 5 to 10 minute interview as entertaining as possible. Graham Norton is good at this as he gets all his guests out and throws a question out but doesn't interrupt and let's his guests conversate with each other. The American chatshows are not as good with this.
Most of them? And you met them all where? What a completely clueless observation...I happen to have been in the industry for over 30 years...and not as an actor..you are way way off
That was actually a publicity stunt for Joaquin’s mockumentary that aired about 2 months after that interview. Since then, There has been some really insightful interviews between the two of them and mr.letterman knows that it was all a way to promote Joaquins work!
The one about Oceans 8 made me roll my eyes. You put 5 women on a couch together that have been getting to know each other for like a year and become close. The interviews for that movie were hilarious and chaotic. It is great to see a bunch of women together that aren't all stiff and worried about their image. They just had fun.
Bob Hope is no surprise to me. When my mother was a little girl in the 70s, she loved Bob Hope. One time, he came to our town (to our mall, if I remember correctly) to do some sort of meet and greet, but for whatever reason mom couldn’t go. My grandfather met him and asked if he could give him an autograph/signed photo for her, and Hope basically cursed him out. Pappy thoroughly disliked him after that, to say the least.
I heard that Bob Hope was a big womanizer. It makes me gag to picture it. What woman would want an affair with him? His wife, Delores must have been a saint to put up with him.
@@suerobinson5260 I was in college in 1965..He was appearing nearby and the college wanted to honor him with an award for his patriotism. When they did get a hold of him he said.." Will it be televised on National TV? and they said, " No.." It would be a small ceremony at the university with students and faculty.. and he said.."If it's not televised I will decline.." So photo ops only for Hope. I have loathed him since that day.
She apparently must've had it with him too. They allegedly lived in separate wings of their Palm Springs house. Even had different driveways and entrances.
Be very careful saying a black person was your worst guest there Ferguson. Good...you said she was probably having a bad day and she's a very good person. Smart man.
"You best put some verbs in your answers pretty soon! I'm a mandated reporter and I will be filing a report after the show if things don't change real fast!" Uhh, sorry Dr. Phil, you don't even have a license anymore (as Chris mentions above) and even if you did, there are specific standards you have to fulfill, namely, working with a family/child for far longer than an hour on TV. I believe the minimum is a month of intensive interaction and that seems to be the universal accepted practice in the US. "I don't ask them why they act this way, I ask, why not!" If I hear him say that one more time, I'm going to put a bullet thru my TV! Actually, I can handle Dr Phil....in small doses. The biggest problem is, he claims to be a Bible Christian, yet he supports things that are clearly defiant of God's Word. Don't say you are a Christian and then have "psychics" on your show reading people in the audience. Not that I believe any of it, but the Bible is crystal clear on that subject among others he walks the line with and TD Jakes should be ashamed of himself for coming on and promoting such blasphemy. Of course, I don't know how devoted Jakes is to God.
@@ElectricLadyland87 exactly why I hate all the Dr. Phil's, Oz's, etc... It's far too much about being entertaining, selling snake oil, and voodoo to day time tv zombies. So much Misinformation that could really affect someone's mental and physical health by displaying "medical advice" and abhorrent behavior.
He's horrific and not in the slightest bit interested in helping anyone - his only incentive is to score points while making his 'guests' look even worse than they would have without his interference. And the audience lap it up and applaud like a herd of mushy-brained sheep.
It makes you realize how shallow and superficial show-biz is! I'm just amazed that any late night show host can have any conversation with any of these overpaid actors or singers.
Just like in life, a lot of them are nice and humble and interesting. Some are assholes and you just cant wait to get away from them. It's just how people are.
You know, this might be actually interesting if we could hear the interaction BETWEEN THE GUESTS AND THE HOSTS, instead of being treated like children and having a third party "tell us" what was said and by whom!
Terry Lucas honestly they should’ve included clips from every interview but it seems like they just wanted to make a ten minute video which sucks. i came to see some awkward interviews and now i have to look for the interviews themselves.
Or you can act like the adult you claim to be and realize this channel does highlights and you go to these shows actual sites and watch the full clips. Adults don't need everything fed to them.
Some people are very good and interesting being interviewed, others not. They are paid a fee to appear on these shows and have opportunity to sit back, relax and tell their story, promote their book, movie or whatever it is they are there for. They should be mindful that a lot of people might be watching and should present themselves well. Unfortunately there are those that simply are brainless, uninteresting, uneducated slobs.
_"She explained that Ford acted as if he didn't like the movie he was promoting."_ Yeah, she obviously doesn't know much about Harrison Ford. He's always like that. lol
Harrison Ford never seems to like interviews. He seems like a private person. Private, but likeable. He seems like he would be a hard interviewee, but not an unpleasant person.
Carson didn't like interviewing Hope because Carson liked the interviews and humor to emerge organically and Hope couldn't be spontaneously funny. All his interviews had to be scripted, jokes and all, and Johnny hated that.
I can't believe Larry King said Phyllis Gates was his worst guest. This from a man that interviewed Mark Felt when he obliviously had dementia and couldn't remember anything about Watergate. She gave short answers at times but at other timesshe was quite revealing about their short marriage. I was sad to hear she never remarried. Hudson and his agent really didn't do right by her.
Big of Grant to own up to his attitude on Stewarts show; maybe if American celebrities acknowledge their fits more often we would have more respect for them.
Maureen Tuohy I think Harrison Ford acted so painfully boring during interviews was so the paparazzi would leave him be. If that was the case it worked because he comes across as such a boring person.
Id love to actually see these interviews instead of having to imagine them whilst listening to the unnecessary narration. This woman actually ruins these countdown bids
Larry King had to be the only person on the planet who didn't know that Jerry Seinfeld decided to walk away from his show. He deserved to be mocked for his lack of just being aware of things happening in the world in general.
Barbara Walters said that Warren Beatty was the worst person she ever interviewed. Not because he was hateful, but because he was so boring. I can totally see that.
Having seen many a talk show, I'd say Hugh Grant was one of the most reliably good guests out there. He's always charming and entertaining. Robert de Niro is easily the worst. As dull as anyone you could find off the street.
I'd totally agree on the De Niro comments. Hes one of the most uninteresting guests you ever see. He's like watching a Belicheck interview or something. Cliche, boring, its like watching someone that skips like every third or fourth word and you gotta figure out "WTF are they talking about?"
So much narration! You have the clips, why not play the actual converaation rather than narrating what is going on like you're dubbing a foreign movie?
californiahummus I always thought Cher and David Letterman were brilliant together, they had so much chemistry and banter with each other, it looked like Letterman had such a soft spot for Cher.
My friends a makeup artist on Loraine and says how Loraine was joking and laughing with spacey it’s not till recently she’s started saying about him being rude
That may be true, but at least he doesnt ask the same damn questions every other talking head does, where basically they ask the same damn thing, and you'll see the same damn answer on 5 different interviews.
@@Terelon He is obligated, thats why he does them. Promoting the film is part of the job whether an actor wants to do it or not. Personally I'd hate answering the same tired questions and telling the same stories over and over again. The interviewer is just trying to do their job, but you can't really blame the celebrity for not enjoying it.
@@Tyger20 You don' have to do anything in this life you don't want to do, I've heard of many decline interviews and walk out, he can choose those options if he wants truthfully, he can prob suggest in his contract he doesn't wanna do them, ijs
@@botticellichick6393 yup. That's the one! Jian Ghomeshi is a great interviewer (just ignore his personal life). But, it is probably the most awkward interview I've ever seen.
Tuesday Weld surely has to be at the top of the list for worst guests of Johnny Carson. She was so unanimated and gave terse, deadpan answers to his interview questions. Then she said something to the effect of, "This has been fun. When can I come back? Johnny's answer was something like, " How about, never!"
I went to a filming of Conan back in 2014/15 and they had Paul Simon singing and doing an interview. They had to film the singing twice and the interview was slurring and/or one word answers. I don't know if it was alcohol, drugs or what...but it was bad...thank goodness it was the last 10 minutes of the show. Being a fan of Paul's for 40 years it was sad seeing him like that.
I interviewed Macy Gray for a jazz magazine I wrote for a few years ago (random interesting fact: the interview took place on the morning of the day Trump was elected). She was an interesting but challenging interview subject.
Matt Lohr I saw an interview where she said she wasn't in a good place back then and was high all the time. She said she'd be sleeping during interviews that's why she wore the sunglasses. Haha. Did she have on sunglasses?
Actually Larry King’s behaviour here is pretty disgusting. It’s easy to target an old lady, so brave of him to make fun of her. Why did they invite her if she had nothing to say.
Jay Leno's hatred of Trista is so strange to me. It basically boils down to him not caring about the Bachelor franchise... Which is fine. But don't hate on Trista. She's sweet and it's not cool to just extend your hatred of the franchise onto her as a person. Disrespectful.
No idea how anyone could be grumpy w/that woman walking past you in the living room. My only concern would be making sure I could keep my caloric intake high enough for any given moment an opportunity to pounce presented itself.
Craig is the only one with Class.the first person he didn’t even talk bad about, just said she had a bad day and probably is a good person and the second person he refused to reveal who it was. Everyone else is just as bad as who they are complaining about!
Idk how you’d think that? They were asked who the worst guest was. Most gave reasons for why it was awful. The drunk dude on Conan was out of touch and awful for new host. Hugh grant threw a fit. The cavet guests were totally immature. Most all point to behavior. Not for something they couldn’t help. Leno was only one that just said he was bored but also didn’t say that was worst guest. He just gave build up to awkward encounter
It's true about Robert DiNero....he is a non event...In an interview, the camera will be on him but unless he has a scrip, he has absolutely nothing to say! Thank goodness he's a great Actor!
B Barnett an overrated actor who always plays the same role. Like a male Julia Roberts ...probably not their fault, it is called type casting, I think !
LMAO! Harrison didn’t seem happy about the film he as promoting! That’s his iconic interview logic! He never seems happy! He’s funny, but he’s such a hermit. He doesn’t do this a lot! Still love him though!
What current celebrity would you want to see host a talk show?
Norm MacDonald or maybe Frank Stallone
The girl that played the next door neighbor on Full House ..I think her name was Gobbles or Gobbler something like that ...
Billy Joel or Paul McCartney!
Bring cavett back
How about D.J. Trump?
When I first saw Willem Dafoe, I was worried he was going to be introduced as the worst guest ever. He’s such a pleasant and cool guy.
NemeanLion not only that but listening to him talk about his craft is damn fascinating...check out his interview with Teri Gross on Fresh Air
yes mr Dafoe is one of the few actors i would actually be excited about meeting in real life
I know, I was scared, I was like.... my favorite actor!
he's from my home town! Appleton, WI

Hugh Grant owning up to his behavior on Jon Stewart is very very respectable

Wish Jon would own up to his behavior on Crossfire.
tinwoods you good?
tinwoods are you ok
I find Hugh Grant very likeable. Americans just do not get his sarcasm. He just does not bullshit around.
Hugh Grant, instead of having a tanty, actually apologised for it. Everyone has a bad night, I've seen him n plenty of interviews where he is funny.

I’ve thought the same thing about De Niro’s interviews. He often drones on and on without a point or punchline.
Gotta appreciate Hugh Grant's willing, self deprecating humility.

I think Harrison Ford acted so painfully boring during interviews was so the paparazzi would leave him be. If that was the case it worked because he comes across as such a boring person.

There is probably no footage of many of the clips, like a random interview from the tonight show with someone from The Bachelorette 15 years ago.
I always liked Jay Leno, Craig Ferguson, and David Letterman, not forgetting the unforgettable Johnny Carson. They were terrific shows!! 🌻
I can't believe Cavett didn't get in on the humor in the Falk interview. It started out hilariously.
He wasn't "in" on the humor because they didn't let him in.
Letterman would need his own top 10 list:
Crispin Glover, Madonna, Cher, there were some real cringe worthy segments.
californiahummus well duh...Madonna is a horrible guest. She is just dumb
To be fair I never found David Letterman to be nice or kind, or funny for that matter... 🤷🏻♀️
Letterman enjoyed those weird segments because he could dissect those showbiz types. Look what he did to the Joker. lol.
Madonna is a skank.
californiahummus I always thought Cher and David Letterman were brilliant together, they had so much chemistry and banter with each other, it looked like Letterman had such a soft spot for Cher.
My friends a makeup artist on Loraine and says how Loraine was joking and laughing with spacey it’s not till recently she’s started saying about him being rude
At least Grant owned it
Yep
I wouldn’t answer those goofy ass questions Cohen asks either...but knowing the show I wouldn’t make an appearance
That may be true, but at least he doesnt ask the same damn questions every other talking head does, where basically they ask the same damn thing, and you'll see the same damn answer on 5 different interviews.
Right, I you agree to appear you should play along.
Jenny Lee true, if I agree to come (which I wouldn’t) I will play the game as long as he doesn’t cross the line with the questions
@Mac has a nice ass.
I’m not sure some of actors and actresses have a choice. This kind of promotion is in their contracts.
I swear Harrison Ford is ignorant in every interview I seen him in and looks like he doesn’t like talking about the movies when he gets interviews .
@ He shouldn't do them then unless obligated.
lurch321 he said one time a few years ago he’s not good at answering questions and doesn’t like making a fool of himself
@@Terelon He is obligated, thats why he does them. Promoting the film is part of the job whether an actor wants to do it or not.
Personally I'd hate answering the same tired questions and telling the same stories over and over again. The interviewer is just trying to do their job, but you can't really blame the celebrity for not enjoying it.
@@Tyger20 You don' have to do anything in this life you don't want to do, I've heard of many decline interviews and walk out, he can choose those options if he wants truthfully, he can prob suggest in his contract he doesn't wanna do them, ijs
I remember the show Q with Jian Ghomeshi when he interviewed Billy Bob Thornton. Worst guest ever. He just refused to answer any questions at all.
@@botticellichick6393 yup. That's the one! Jian Ghomeshi is a great interviewer (just ignore his personal life). But, it is probably the most awkward interview I've ever seen.
Tuesday Weld surely has to be at the top of the list for worst guests of Johnny Carson. She was so unanimated and gave terse, deadpan answers to his interview questions. Then she said something to the effect of, "This has been fun. When can I come back? Johnny's answer was something like, " How about, never!"
I find most TV interviews with celebs hard to watch, whether they go well or not. They're just uncomfortable to watch.
borrrrrrrring. esp if their promoting a movie.
I can recommend The Graham Norton Show. It’s a more natural environment compared to US talk shows.
I just do not watch them.
Crashburn Uncomforable though? Is that the word you want to use?
You don't have to watch them
I can't believe the David Letterman Show with Crispin Glover wasn't on this list and Jay Leno's worst guest wasn't Bobcat Goldthwait.
The irony here is Jay Leno's always been douchebag himself.
@cpk1994 The guy who quit the tonight show and then changed his mind? The guy who helped screw David Letterman over? Yeah sorry Jay's a douche.
@@spectralthundr9525 Leno wanted less money then Letterman and had a better agent
Joan rivers had a few talk hows. She said Tommy Lee Jones was the worse.
Stu Mack joan rivers was the worst so her opinion of others is invalid considering how much of an ass and racist she was
I went to a filming of Conan back in 2014/15 and they had Paul Simon singing and doing an interview. They had to film the singing twice and the interview was slurring and/or one word answers. I don't know if it was alcohol, drugs or what...but it was bad...thank goodness it was the last 10 minutes of the show. Being a fan of Paul's for 40 years it was sad seeing him like that.
I didn’t know the bachelorettes could read, let alone write a book.
Before one should Write a book - they should be able to Read a book -
Rational Monotheist I don’t believe in ghosts bro them shits scary
The misogyny..yikes! Just because someone is blonde and hot doesn’t mean they can’t read.
Wow..that was an ignorant rude useless comment
I never get tired of hearing the Jon Stewart, Hugh Grant story.
I just heard it for the first time, and I'm already tired of it. 😉
@@cl8onj388 I agree
CL8ON J that was really savage man 🔥
@@buboy19 i would have a lot of questions to ask Mr. Grant about Bournemouth.
Ironic, since Jon Stewart was the worst guest on Crossfire.
I interviewed Macy Gray for a jazz magazine I wrote for a few years ago (random interesting fact: the interview took place on the morning of the day Trump was elected). She was an interesting but challenging interview subject.
Is it because everytime you tried to end the interview and say goodbye she'd choke?
@@stevetoth7136 hilarious!! 😂😂😂
@@stevetoth7136 haha!
Matt Lohr I saw an interview where she said she wasn't in a good place back then and was high all the time. She said she'd be sleeping during interviews that's why she wore the sunglasses. Haha. Did she have on sunglasses?
Actually Larry King’s behaviour here is pretty disgusting. It’s easy to target an old lady, so brave of him to make fun of her. Why did they invite her if she had nothing to say.
What's your name?
Trista.
Says: Oh hi! (while muttering: this is awkward)
Love Peter Falk in this, I have been a fan for years and years, still watch his re- runs, I am 89 yrs. old. Love Peter! ❤️🌹
& ur online!!!! U GO GF!!!!!
Stu Mack That’s my hobby!! Keeps me going, I also love Netflix!! Not bad for an old wifey!. Take care, Stay Safe! 👍🏻🇨🇦🏴🌻
I'm surprised you didn't include David Letterman's interview of Joaquin Phoenix.
I dunno De Niro always seems introverted in public. He's just the quiet type
Casavetes, Gazarra, and Faulk did the job their producer feared. I never heard of the film Husbands, not at the time, nor any time since.
Jay Leno's hatred of Trista is so strange to me. It basically boils down to him not caring about the Bachelor franchise... Which is fine. But don't hate on Trista. She's sweet and it's not cool to just extend your hatred of the franchise onto her as a person. Disrespectful.
Reality show people shouldn't be treated as celebrities.
@@dhenderson1810 That's above the point, but okay.
Lol I thought Jay Leno would be the rude guest
Andy Cohen irritates me so much
I like Hugh but even his former girlfriend of 13 years, Elizabeth Hurley, said that he gets grumpy often.
No idea how anyone could be grumpy w/that woman walking past you in the living room. My only concern would be making sure I could keep my caloric intake high enough for any given moment an opportunity to pounce presented itself.
Syrealle Wyatt remember when he cheated on her with a hooker? Thought he was crazy then.
@@HeatherCoste he likes variety.
He might be a mercurial fellow.
The tea is exceptionally hot today.
I would be so nervous interviewing assorted celebrities.
i would be nervous on top of u.... i mean interviewing u.
I’m surprised that Crispin Glover having a meltdown on David Letterman’s show didn’t make this list.
Crispin Glover, anyone...
That was awesome....he pulled a Joaquin Phoenix before Joaquin Phoenix did
Crazy dude
kemolowlow Thiink the credit should go to Andy Kaufman
Erik Washburn His demands for Back to the Future II then lawsuits didn't help
And I can kick. lol
i still find it interesting that Debra Winger voiced ET
Aku From the future pat Welsh actually voiced E.T
Im surprised Larry King didnt select Andrew Dice Clay's appearance.
One word responsed to interviews is hell. No matter what you do, its just not going to work.
R.I.P Larry King! such a legend
When did Larry King pass away?
@@davidwesley2525 January 27th 2021
Meg Ryan on Parkinson.... it was painful to watch
7:55 Rihana is so pretty. Swoon.
Jay Lenos worst guest?
.
.JAY LENO
Craig is the only one with Class.the first person he didn’t even talk bad about, just said she had a bad day and probably is a good person and the second person he refused to reveal who it was. Everyone else is just as bad as who they are complaining about!
Idk how you’d think that? They were asked who the worst guest was. Most gave reasons for why it was awful. The drunk dude on Conan was out of touch and awful for new host. Hugh grant threw a fit. The cavet guests were totally immature. Most all point to behavior. Not for something they couldn’t help. Leno was only one that just said he was bored but also didn’t say that was worst guest. He just gave build up to awkward encounter
His Britney Spears monologue was sincere and full of class after she shaved her head, can't say the same for his counterparts
It's true about Robert DiNero....he is a non event...In an interview, the camera will be on him but unless he has a scrip, he has absolutely nothing to say! Thank goodness he's a great Actor!
B Barnett an overrated actor who always plays the same role. Like a male Julia Roberts ...probably not their fault, it is called type casting, I think !
KD Doelling do you actually think that’s true ?
LOL, Peter Falk and that crew on Cavett were smashed drunk.
LMAO! Harrison didn’t seem happy about the film he as promoting! That’s his iconic interview logic! He never seems happy! He’s funny, but he’s such a hermit. He doesn’t do this a lot! Still love him though!
Worst actor ever. One expression only, that of dumbfounded confusion.
Are those clips from the Dictator, the Office, etc. really necessary?
Thats a class act from grant
I always loved Hugh Grant
Hmmm... Jay Leno clearly thought that Trista Sutton was beneath him from the begining of the interview so its sounds like he was a bad interviewer .
Conan: best guest, Norm MacDonald
Andy Richter: worst guest, Norm MacDonald
Norm is one of the most polarising comedians in existence. It doesn't surprise me in the least that Conan and Andy would be split on him.
@@Zeldarw104 You should have stopped at "I don't even get it"
Or so the Germans would have us believe
Zelda Williams you probably don’t understand it
Andy Richter, the Swedish-German... Or so the Germans would have you believe.
0:23 I don't know who this guy is but i laughed the hardest throughout the whole interview, i don't care if the interview is bad, that's entertainment
Graham Norton had it easy. With all those other great people on the couch, he wasn’t dependent on Robert Dinero to make a great, funny show.
+1 for hugh grant owning up. as far as larry king, he DID ask seinfeld, who was at the TOP of his game, a STOOPID fukking question.
