You know, I went out to find this and found it.
I just watched the interview. If it's the one I found, I'm not sure I wouldn't have been offended by the (supposed) comedian doing the interview.
Perhaps this is what passes for funny on the show, but this was over the top IMO.
I would have stood up and walked off the set.
I’m from the 60s - in the old days, the interviewee would have pulled off the mike and walked off. From what I understand, though, this guy sets up people for “fun” interviews like Martin Short did with his character of Jiminy Glick. I am only going by my innate feelings as a performer: to spit like that is hateful, unfunny, and untalented.
Um. That looks like it was all set up.
Pitt was not reacting, he was acting.
