Gumshoe Beaumont Gore Vidal (There is no e at the end of his name btw) was primarily known as a writer. Your homophobia is showing.

Tom selleck was so cool and professional while rosie was just looking for a fight. No wonder she was cancelled off

[@1SqueakyWheel]

Her ratings were in the toilet. And it wasn't due to this instance in particular, but rather, this behavior from her in general. Once she decided to use her microphone to politicize rather than entertain (a lot of dumb actors/actresses make this mistake) she began to alienate half her audience with her haughtiness. In the onset of her career, in the srandup biz, and even with a couple small movie roles that yielded, it was her cheery conversational wit that got her where she was... to be given her own talk show. But it was the bitchy arrogance that formed into which ended her success, because she didn't have enough charisma to offset it and hold her own despite her political babbling.

[@1SqueakyWheel]

@Herman Greenfield I never repeated any of your bullshit; I spoke of reality. I'm not sure how old or young you are, but I watched her in real time through her whole career, and I remember quite well when she began shooting herself in the foot. If you disagree with what I say, then reference the points and tell me what you actually have to say on it. But if all you can do is snipe it vaguely from the side like that, then you've obviously got nothing.

Australia was literally locked down for 2 years. People are being fined and jailed in Europe and Canada over the words that they choose to use. Our constitutional rights are backed by the second amendment. China isn't willing to walk in and take what's there's because of the fact that over half of the country is armed and willing to kill. For all of the bad that does happen with guns in this country. The good will always outweigh that, and if you can't see that, it's working. Because you're safe and ignorant.

They also assume that their regular audience are too stupid to grasp the simplistic dynamics of these conversations. Therefore, Watch Mojo INSISTS on interrupting each & every segment to explain every minor detail. The worst of these channels are the ones that run unrelated, often irrelevant stock footage throughout the video, instead of using easily available footage that actually relates to the subject matter! ⁉️BTW: How many times do I have to click "NOT INTERESTED" before youtube's algorithm stops putting WM videos in my feed?

Forever grateful to Cruise for this exchange xo

[@ellebelle4094]

Me, too. Cruise said he has ALWAYS been against psychiatry and that includes way before Scientology. His school wanted his mother to drug him and she refused. He is forever grateful to her.

Love, love this channel! 😂😁😆😙😊😋😍🤣🤩😘

[@markant9534]

Cruise behaved just like one of his movie characters when he got angry.

[@LucyLioness100]

That’s fairly accurate. Really cringe-worthy moment

[@TheYoungWolfI]

Many actors I think don't know how to behave in many situations, so they act. It's weird when you can clearly see it like with Cruise.

[@rcarrona]

Not taking Cruise’s side but...if we had known then there were many worse things Matt Lauer could be called...oh, I long for the ignorance of youth.

[@vicovendale6955]

@Ben Franklin Please tell you're not arguing that it's impossible to be angry and defend your beliefs simultaneously? I went back and watched the segment again and if you honestly think he wasn't angry I'd hate to get on your bad side.

[@tiffprendergast]

"Ellen's comedic timing" that doesn't exist.

[@1SqueakyWheel]

To be fair, look up her earlier srandup on Carson or Leno. She was quite funny on stage. And personably, she can be quick with banter, but this wasn't one of those cases. I'm guessing it was because she was distracted by having gotten caught not only recycling a joke to the SAME person on live TV, but also having the punchline blow up in her face. And if that wasn't enough, she was put on the spot where she was completely incapable of recalling the conversation. The triple-whammy obviously disoriented her on camera, and she couldn't recover it by pulling a joke out of it like she normally would. But to call this an awkward moment is a bit of an overstatement.

[@camogrrl]

It felt real because even though it wasn’t a genuine hatred of each other the stunts were real, that slap was real, Kaufman in a neck brace for months and months was real. Those two men are/were the greatest

[@curtishalcomb3249]

I remember the Tom Selleck and Rosie O’Donnell interview. Tom Selleck was blindsided by Rosie and he had every right to be upset. He was invited on to her show under false pretenses. As he said he was there to plug a new movie he was in. Then Rosie O’Donnell out of the blue went rogue and started grilling him over the NRA and gun control. And would not let up or shut up about it to be blunt. She was in the wrong. I applaud Tom so much for his patience and civility as well as composure. Anyone else would have went off on her or stormed out Tom Selleck was being classy and the bigger person
