CNN anchor Kyra Phillips, whose bathroom gossip was broadcast live on CNN on Tuesday, appeared on Thursday's Late Show with David Letterman to give her side of the story.
That is, she delivered Top 10 list of reasons why things went wrong. (Phillips accidentally left her mic on when she went to the ladies room while covering a speech by President Bush in New Orleans – and her family gossip was broadcast live. CNN issued an apology, and Phillips told Letterman no one was fired as a result of the snafu.)
Phillips's Top 10 list:
10. Still haven't mastered complicated on/off switch.
9. Larry King told me he does this all the time.
8. How was I supposed to know we had a reporter embedded in the bathroom.
7. I honestly never knew this sort of thing was frowned upon.
6. I couldn't resist a chance to win $10,000 on America's Funniest Home Videos.
5. I was set up by those bastards at Fox News.
4. Like you've never gone to the bathroom and had it broadcast on national television.
3. I just wanted that hunky Lou Dobbs to notice me.
2. Okay, so I was drunk and I couldn't think straight.
1. You have to admit, it made the speech a lot more interesting.
I guess my sense of humor is going. I don't find any of these remotely funny. :O(
All you can do in that situation is make fun of yourself before others do.
Maybe, but excuse # 2 might be closer to the truth than we know!
Number 5 was kind of funny, but the rest were stale.
Or, that Kyra is one up on everyone else.
Why would you. Letterman has been unfunny for the last - how long has he been on?
11. I wanted my sister-in-law to never talk to me ever again!
Well she just went up a notch in my book, laughing about it shows she has at least a sense of perspective.
Uhhh, Usually the #1 reason from this has been would be.........
It's Bushs fault
I wonder what her sister-in-law thinks about it? :-)
Wonder how hard her sister-in-law chuckled at this list?
And Conan even worse. I still miss Steve Allen!
#2, not bad, maybe even true.
they're only B's in YOUR world because they're fair and balanced, you you know what.
mooch on, my dear, mooch on.
and have a great family barbecue this labor day.
11. I want my family Thankgiving dinner to be the next episode on Survivor
CNN once again fixated on FOX News. Sad for them.
I stopped thinking the Top Ten lists were funny in the late 80s.
