4:10 · pass Clooney reportedly reached out to
4:12 · Maha personally pitching the idea as an
4:15 · unscripted raw conversation that would
4:17 · allow him to tell his side of the story
4:19 · but Maha wasn't SED in fact inside his
4:21 · claim he told Clooney Point Blank that

4:41 · figures in Hollywood someone who was
4:43 · used to doors opening for him with
4:45 · little more than a smile to be turned
4:47 · down so publicly and so decisively was a
4:50 · humiliation he wasn't prepared for
4:52 · behind the scenes tensions were boiling
4:54 · over Mau someone who's never shied away
4:56 · from controversy reportedly began
4:58 · mocking Clooney in private
5:00 · conversations according to insiders MAA
5:02 · joked that Clooney's repeated pitches
5:04 · were pathetic and likened the actor's
5:06 · desperation to audition and for a pity
5:08 · party these remarks while not made
5:10 · publicly quickly made their way back to
5:12 · Clooney who was said to be furious but
5:15 · maer didn't stop there during one of his
5:17 · Show's monologues he took several thinly
5:19 · veiled shots at Clooney joking about
5:22 · Hollywood Elites begging for air time
5:24 · and mocking actors who think their
5:26 · political takes are worth more than
5:27 · their box office flops while he did
5:29 · mention Clooney by name the references
5:31 · were clear enough for anyone following
5:33 · the drama to connect the dots Clooney
5:35 · for his part wasn't about to let the
5:37 · feud go unanswered his team began
5:39 · exploring other options pitching him to
5:41 · shows like the Howard Stern Show but
5:44 · even Stern known for his controversial
5:46 · and unfiltered interviews seemed
5:48 · hesitant according to sources Sterns
5:50 · team was wary of associating the show
5:52 · with Clooney's increasingly toxic Public
5:54 · Image meanwhile Clooney's frustration
5:56 · was growing behind closed doors he was
5:59 · reported vent in his anger not just at
6:01 · Maha but at Hollywood as a whole one
6:03 · Insider described Clooney as being in
6:05 · full meltdown mode lashing out at anyone
6:08 · who dared to criticize him for a man who
6:10 · built his career on charm and likability
6:12 · it was a stark and dramatic departure at
6:14 · the same time Maho was doubling down
6:17 · while he hadn't explicitly named Clooney
6:19 · in his public comments the tension
6:20 · between the two was becoming impossible
6:22 · to ignore for ma her this wasn't just a
6:24 · professional disagreement it was a
6:26 · statement by refusing to host Clooney
6:29 · Mah was positioning himself as a
6:30 · gatekeeper of authenticity someone who
6:32 · wouldn't compromise the Integrity of his
6:34 · show for the sake of celebrity drama and
6:37 · so the feud between Clooney and Maha has
6:39 · become the defining Hollywood Scandal of
6:41 · the year it's not just about one actor's
6:43 · Fall From Grace or one talk show host
6:45 · refusal to play ball it's about a logic
6:47 · cultural shift in an industry that's
6:49 · increasingly driven by public opinion
6:51 · and social media outrage even the
6:53 · biggest stars are finding themselves on
6:55 · Shaky Ground as for Clooney his options
6:58 · are dwindling with major Studios
7:00 · distancing themselves and talk shows
7:01 · shut on their doors he's running out of
7:03 · platforms to tell his side of the story
7:06 · whether he manages to Stage a comeback
7:07 · or Fades Into Obscurity remains to be
7:09 · seen but one thing is certain this drama
7:12 · is far from over what do you think has
7:14 · George Clooney's Hollywood fairy tale
7:16 · officially turned into a tragedy or does

Rob Reiner Breaks Down After Studio Cancels Him In Epic Fashion [7:47] [12/10/2024]

“Bill Mowah”?

later

Actually, after watching the whole video, the narrator pronounces Maher's name at least four different ways:

Mow-ah

Ma-hah

Ma-hair

Ma-her (the closest he gets to getting it right)

Ungowah. It’s Bill Mowah. [old cheer]

I’m a little hungry, didn’t have breakfast, maybe I’ll zap a hawt dawg.

Talkin’ to yourself again, eh?

The surprising thing is, the YT-generated transcript is surprisingly better than it often is. :^)

Another fake out, some guy’s youtube show talking about something that happened.

Posters need to let us know that we aren’t being sent to a clip but to a show of some guy talking about the clip.

Mayer hasn’t been funny a day in his life.

Couldn’t get past that horrendous voiceover

where is the roast? Only talk.

nah gonna read all that

Glad you watched it at least.

Transcripts are a cruel necessity. When not present others piss and moan that they don’t have the time to watch the thing, or pretend they have standing to demand a summary.

No, we don’t.

Thanks GSC.

HOW many realize this is ROSEMARY CLOONEY’s NEPHEW ?

She was a class act.

George-—NOT so much.

Coming across like a spoiled kid.
