Of all the memories about Sam, this is it. Someone said that Sam is the last of his kind for a television entertainment reporter, and I will disagree. Sam Rubin was the heartbeat of the KTLA Morning News; Sam Rubin was the heartbeat of Hollywood. Rest in peace, and thank you Sam!
I was there when KTLA launched their straight news morning show against the big 3. Sam was not there on day 1 but joined 6 weeks into the show. It was a well done news show and was day by day sinking into the west. It was failing big time. Well, new producer came in and told everyone "Look you will be gone in the next few weeks, kick back and have fun". They did and with Sam as the best example blew the seriousness out the window. The ratings went through the roof and that show is still on the air 33 years later. OTher stations have tried this and failed. WHen you watched KTLA there was much fun stuff, but Sam's entertainment report - always a gem. Perspective - They were in the middle of nuts- crazy - news folks on 9/11. When what was happening the all grabbed their jackets, and hit their marks. No Jokes and took command. I tried looking at the big 3 and the CNN types but would go back to KTLA after a few minutes. I needed to electronic arm of my favorite news team around my shoulder saying it will be OK. Sam, you won't be coming back Monday - but as you start the next great adventure know that we'll be remembering you and thinking of you going forward. And Sam, just in case you didn't hear it over a million times today, Sam - Thanks!
I love this! Sam Rubin was completely entitled to state how he felt regarding Perez Hilton. Sam has been a fixture at KTLA for over 20 years. He has more than earned his right to voice his stern opinion.
Right On SAM !!! I'm SO happy that you had the balls to tell it like it is, and let the truth be known, about that "diva" and I spell it with small text, which is what he deserves for treating the show that way he did, after he was offered the use of your entire facilities. Unbelievable, how unappreciative and obviously rude, he and his "staff" could be. It IS too bad that the public eats up his venomous words, and he is famous or a celebrity of sorts. Keep up the great work everyone at KTLA !
I remember watching this broadcast. My respect for this man on this and the Mel Gibson interview. You goofed on the Samuel L Jackson-Lawrence Fishburne faux pas, but you were the best. Rest in peace, Sam Rubin
I can't believe people like Perez Hilton have nothing better to do, than to live through the personal lives of others. That is the most pathetic someone could possibly be.
Thank you Sam for all the laughs, the truths and the occasional needed rips! You were and always will be a number one spot on entertainment reporter! Rest in peace dear man 🥲🥰❤️❤️
Lucky for me, I saw Sam Rubin won his award during the ''AVID Night Ceremony Awards'' (located inside the USC Basketball Arena).Since June 2008. It was a Great assembly, and Sam Rubin.....you are awsome.
A great and entertaining man. Watched him for 20 years or better. What a tragic and unexpected loss for us all. Love you Man. RIP Sam Rubin. You will continue to be missed every day.
I saw this video. Very good speech by Mr. Rubin. I do often wonder why the hell Perez is always downing some poor celeb he doesn't agree with on his blog. Why is he such a hater? Did he not have a nice childhood? I often wonder about his personal life in regards to his childhood, his parents, etc. And I notice those details are private while he's sniffin' in other celebs' affairs with his blog.
I used to like Perez’s blog years ago when it was actually entertaining and put celebs in their places. He called them out, was very honest, and took no prisoners. He even made snide nicknames for most which were hilarious. He could be mean but that made it entertaining. He rightly knocked celebs off their delicate pedestals they thought they deserved. Yeah, most celebs hated him but that’s in the nature of a gossip columnist job! He absolutely ruined his career and therefore relevance when he became “nice.” That’s boring like every other celeb news site. It totally changed his brand. It got even worse when he started brown nosing certain celebs that he used to totally eviscerate with his words. It’s not like he really ever had many breaking or many first scoops to begin with; the majority were taken from elsewhere but he used his own flair and put into his own words by making it his own. I haven’t read it for years now & doubt I ever will. He was the cause of his own demise.
@@t-squared6406 Perez Hilton is a blogger who made his name blogging about celebrities and doing red carpet events. I believe he initially broke the news years ago about both Paris Hilton's and Kim Kardashian's tapes that they made with Ray J and Rick Salomon
there are so many people who think like I do. This guy doesn't deserve what he has, and by the time people realize it, I hope he had spent all his money on hair color and women's clothes so he has to go back to working a REAL job.
Not that Im siding with Perez Hilton, but what’s been happening this week in 2022 with the staff, I know Hilton is laughing about everything going down with KTLA today.
Perez you make a career perpetuating hate, slander and harassment of celebrities. Now he has the notion that he *IS* a celebrity. Even going so far as to call himself an "artist" lol. Good job! I hate when fellow critics of Perez resort to homophobic slurs. That's sinking to the low that Perez sinks to. Hit Perez with criticism that sticks to the facts people.
Ooh...TREATED! On a more serious note, I do wonder what kind of domestic environment Perez grew up in and whether it has any influence on his seemingly poor attitude.
Perez Hilton is a bad human being! I always hated how people took him seriously EVERRR… and NOOOO, he is NOT AN ICON OR HERO FOR THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY! Yes I’m gay, and we fight against everything he promotes or goes, which is bullying!!
Seriously-who is Perez? He spews hate on his blog through insinuations & gossip. He doesnt contribute anything what-so-ever to the entertainment news. Wonder if as a child he always strived to be a douche? Im sure that as a child he wanted more for himself-pride-honor-respect. He sold it all for this baseless popularity. Still who is Perez? He is like a piece of gum on the bottom of my shoe-doesnt bother me directly but what a nuisance to know its there. Thx for not holding back Sam!
