I Have Seen Some TV Personalities…

…Act like this. It isn’t pretty.

I won’t name names but I literally saw a huge female star - who is so sweet and nice on camera - yell, scream and curse at her staff right up to the moment the red light appeared and then - voila! - all sweetness and light! It is truly remarkable to see these transformations in real life. This is a powerful and accurate portrayal of some of these folks and how they act to staff.

    There’s a reason he’s the Worst Person in the World on a regular basis. :)

    Then again, I’ve been a Keith Olbermann fan since his days at ESPN. And if you’ve read his and Dan Patrick’s book, they say the easiest people in the world to interview are hockey players. :)

    Of course you pick O’Reilly to show when there are clips available of numerous lib talk show hosts and anchors who are cursing and yelling at employees.

    Agree, this is nothin’ compared to what you sometimes see on set.

    Seems in viral video age, if you act differently on-/off-camera sooner or later you’ll get caught …

    Probably sooner.

    I know two people who have worked for Rachel Ray/Mrs. All American Sweetheart. They both say she is a huge bisnatch and treats her staff like crap.
