This interview was incredibly uncomfortable. I felt so bad for her being stuck in that situation. And shame on him for continuing to bring up the situation.
I am pretty sure if it were Ryan Reynolds getting interviewed he wouldn't have asked 100 times about him being naked, would have been a whole different interview lol
Well if the roles were reversed nobody would bat an eye. Do you know how many interviews there are of female interviewers salivating over the guy they are interviewing? 🙄
Man, at the end when she moved her leg back because he moved his hand. She thought he was going to touch her leg, and that mas a major “don’t touch me” reaction. He didn’t touch her with his hand, but a few seconds later he did “playfully” whack her legs with his papers at the end, so he really didn’t keep his hands to himself
This was wildly inappropriate. I'm glad she called him out. I wish we could hear the entirety of what she said to him after the interview was finished.
Love that Bullock spits in his eye--with a smile--at the end, when she states she'll never come back to the show "after this interview." Boy, did she have his sleazy number!
Sandra did amazing she basically professionally got him fired. Fun fact - she didn’t even make a complaint or anything. She just was her classy self and the world “cancelled” Matt Lauer. I know it was 13 years ago but I still love seeing how she professionally stood up to this bully.
Not only that but all the men producers are laughing it up joining the creepiness, they probably were part of the misconducts and knew more then what was let on, these pigs should all be fired!
What she said at the end was such an own, though. “It’s so sad, we go from naked, to serious issues.” Like, “I tried to pivot the conversation to sexism in comedy and you shut that down cuz it was too much for your wittle baby brain, but yeah back to making me feel uncomfortable.”
How to tell if it's creepy: Imagine a female journalist, say Katie Couric, giving the interview instead. Would Couric have said, "I have seen you naked. It's now my screensaver"? Of course not. Matt was flirting. You don't flirt in professional journalism, not to mention he's married.
Still 10000% creepy idgaf if it was an alien species doing the interview you just don't say creepy shit like that especially w the looking at her body like that and creepy smiling while she is visibly uncomfortable
hmmm, funny how the guys behind the camera always laugh out loud when Lauer is interviewing attractive women. Been going on for years. Glad he's gone, seemed like he'd never leave. Creep for sure
Wow. Matt is such an ass. It was obvious that he was heavily and inappropriately flirting with her from the start, and she practically wrangled him with a short leash on a choke collar. And that ending. "No. Not after this interview." She owned him. Too bad she couldn't take him to the vet to be put down. lol.
IKR and when Matt said he will do it again when Andy Cohen asked him about the '06 Britney Dateline interview, it was sickening. At least he's jobless now.
I was seeing her recent interview with CBS where she talks about how she just wants go back home to her family everytime she’s infront of a camera. And came to this video right after. Two completely different worldsss. No wonder she doesn’t want to go back to the industry
Just watch the movie again and came here for bloopers and this was on the feed. Matt Lauer is such a douche. He made that entire interview about one scene. A scene that was purely for comedic effect. And the crews laughing. I don't have a hard time believing that show was a toxic environment.
Remember when Seth MacFarlane hosted the Academy Awards and he had that song "We Saw Your Boobs" (in reference to the specific nude scenes that the women in the audience performed on screen) or something to that extent? This entire interview just comes across like that song but played completely straight and without irony. At least with the Seth MacFarlane song, you could easily suggest that he was being tongue and cheek and he had already made his name off of low-brow, shock humor instead of being an out and out creep like Matt Lauer.
Matt Lauer and Martin Bashir got what they deserved for humiliating Britney, Michael Jackson and Princess Diana, Terrence. I hope Diane Sawyer, Ellen DeGeneres and David Letterman are next because they humiliated Lindsay Lohan, Taylor Swift and Whitney Houston interviews too.
yes, I found it very inappropriate. Still do. And now that he's been fired because of sexual assault, I think my initial reaction was accurate. What are you trying to insinuate here? Just come out and say it instead of hinting dude
Starting out with "now I've seen you naked!" joke was a gamble, but it could have paid off or, taken by itself, written off as awkward humor at worst. Doubling down on that line of questioning, however, was outright creepy.
