Who did she sleep with to get her job?
...aaaaaand BOOM goes the dynamite.
That had to be a prank.
I think you are uncharitable and need more to do in your life!

She is pretty good... almost as good as Tom Menino would be.
I liked it it when she asked Holly what drew her from the big screen to TV- since Hunter doesn’t even watch TV. Oooh. That’s like saying, “So, the movie offers dried up, huh?”
Merry actually spouts off a little mischievous giggle after asking that one. Listen carefully.
In its own twisted way, this is Saturday Morning Good News.
It was like a Space Ghost interview.
She reminds me of every college chick who wanted to do television. Seriously, that was late-high-school to Sophomore-level interviewing. You could tell Holly was thinking to herself “who at TNT set me up to talk to this child?”.
Reminds me of my favorite college audition tape where this chick wanted to be the weather babe and she draws these suns wearing sunglasses and clouds crying rain on the weather map (this was 1970s technology we were working with, btw). As she was pointing out the weather in different parts of the country, she moved her pointer to New England and, in her best Texas twang, announced “And in the Panhandle...”.
I didn’t even bother to correct her. I figured if some news director wanted her for her looks, they’d hire her and if they wanted someone who could pull off a weather segment, they would burn the tape.
I think she’s every bit as insightful and interviewer as Chris Farley was....although his Paul McCartney interview is a classic.
:>)
dan rather with long hair? :-)
They needed another pretty face to lull viewers into a sense of idiotic mind-numbness.
Very funny..I’d say that either she had new contacts, and couldn’t read the teleprompter..or that the audio device in her ear wasn’t working.... don’t they usually tape these puff pieces, as opposed to airing them live?
Also technical difficulties may have added to it.
I also noticed see did a squint near the end, needs glasses or maybe new contacts.
After watching, I couldn’t figure out who was worse, the reader or Holly Hunter.
NOT GUILTY!...er, sorry, wrong thread.

OUCH! Watching that was painful.
And Merry Miller is awful too.
Chris Farley: Um, hi. Welcome to The Chris Farley Show. I'm.. Chris Farley.. and, my guest tonight is.. one of the.. greatest musicians.. uh, rock musicians. I guess, songwriter, ever. [ Smacks himself ] GOD! That sounds stupid! God, I'm an idiot! I never know how to start these things!
Paul McCartney: You're doing great, Chris.
Chris Farley: [ hopeful ] Really? No, I'm not. [ hyperventilating ] Anyway.. I guess.. I didn't have, have to say, who you were, because.. man, I mean.. everyone knows who you are. Mmm.. you're Paul McCartney.
Paul McCartney: Well, it's great to be here.
Chris Farley: [ uncomfortable ] You.. you.. you remember when you were with The Beatles?
Paul McCartney: Yeah, sure.
Chris Farley: That was awesome!
Paul McCartney: Yeah, it was.
Chris Farley: O-kay.. Oh! You.. you remember when you went to Japan.. and, uh, and at the airport they arrested you 'cause you had some pot, and.. it made all the papers, and everything..?
Paul McCartney: Well, to be honest, Chris, I'd kind of like to forget all of that.
Chris Farley: [ smacks himself harder ] IDIOT!! That's so stupid! What a dumb question!!
Paul McCartney: No, no, no, Chris. I get asked that all the time in interviews. Maria Shriver asked the same question last week.
Chris Farley: Really? [ pause ] Did you know that she's married to Arnold Schwartzenegger?
Paul McCartney: Yeah. I've heard that.
Chris Farley: Did you see "Terminator"?
Paul McCartney: No, I missed that one.
Chris Farley: That was a pretty awesome flick. [ pause ] O-kay.. remember.. you remember when you were with The Beatles, and you were supposed to be dead, and, uh, there was all these clues, that, like, uh, you played some song backwards, and it'd say, like, "Paul Is Dead", and, uh, everyone thought that you were dead? That was, um, a hoax, right?
Paul McCartney: Yeah. I wasn't really dead.
Chris Farley: Right. I think we.. I think we got time for one more question. Uh.. remember when you were in The Beatles? And, um, you did that album Abbey Road, and at the very end of the song, it would.. the song goes, "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make"? You.. you remember that?
Paul McCartney: Yes.
Chris Farley: Uh.. is that true?
Paul McCartney: Yes, Chris. In my experience, it is. I find, the more you give, the more you get.
Chris Farley [ ecstatic, starts to point at Paul and mouth "AWESOME!" ] Well, that's it for this week's show. Thank you, Paul McCartney, thank you, for being one of the greatest.. of rock.. I mean, a living legend. And uh, a legend of rock and roll.. and.. just thanks for being on the show, and.. [ smacks himself even harder ] GOD DANGIT! That sounded stupid! I knew I'd screw up!
Paul McCartney: You did fine, you did fine, Chris.
Chris Farley: Really? Thanks, man. Thanks. Thank you. [ Outro music comes on, Chris continues to talk to Paul ] Remember.. remember when I was talking to you about "The Terminator"? You.. you should see that movie, it's pretty cool..
