EARLIER THIS YEAR, LAWRENCE AND DONALD WAS UNFORTUNATELY
HUMILIATED AFTER SOMEONE WORKING FOR NBC LEAKED SOME FOOTAGE OF
HIM LOSING HIS PATIENTS WITH SOME OF HIS PRODUCERS DURING A
LIVE BROADCAST.
NOW NBC HAS IDENTIFIED THE LEAKER AND THE
INDIVIDUAL HAS BEEN FIRED.
SO WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR IS THE VIDEO
OF LAWRENCE O'DONNELL WAS LEAKED ON SEPTEMBER 20 THAT THE LEAKER
WAS IDENTIFIED, CONFRONTED, AND FIRED ON THE 26TH, SO SIX
DAYS LATER THEY FOUND HIM.
TURNED OUT TO BE A TODAY SHOW
EDITOR WHO SAID HE DID IT BECAUSE HE THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY,
AND IT WAS, BUT IT WASN'T EXACTLY THE PERFECT CRIME
BECAUSE HE DID LEAVE A VERY CLEAR TRAIL, SO HE WAS EASY TO
FIND, EASY TO FIRE.
IT IS UNFORTUNATE THAT THEY DIDN'T
IDENTIFY THE PERSON IS AND I'M ACTUALLY HAPPY THEY DIDN'T DO
THAT BECAUSE AT LEAST HE'LL BE MAY BE OKAY WITH FINDING OTHER
WORK BUT I WANT TO GO TO OTHER LAWRENCE O'DONNELL VIDEOS
BECAUSE THEY ARE HILARIOUS THAT.
I HAVE COMMENTARY ON THIS IN A SECOND AS TO WHETHER THEY
SHOULD'VE FIRED HIM OR NOT BUT FIRST, LET'S NEEDLESSLY
SHOW YOU THE VIDEO AGAIN.
OKAY NO BUT THERE'S A TON OF VIDEO POSSIBILITIES HERE, SO
LET'S SHOW YOU ONE OF THE LONGER ONES THAT KIND OF TOUCHES ON ALL
OF THE DIFFERENT MOMENTS WHERE HE LOST HIS PATIENTS, GO.
I DON'T KNOW WHY I BOTHER TO SAY HOW TO CUT THE SLOTS WHEN
YOU DON'T DO IT.
I JUST DON'T KNOW WHY, NOW I HAVE TO CHASE
THOSE STUPID GOD DAMN ENTRAILS THAT YOU ALLOWED TO STICK OUT
THERE.
JESUS CHRIST.
CRAZY FUCKING SOUND COMING IN MY EAR,
FUCKING STUPID HAMMERING.
I TOLD YOU WHY I WANTED THOSE
FUCKING WORDS CUT.
IT JUST FUCKING SUCKS.
IT'S TALKING
SUCKS TO BE OUT HERE WITH THIS OUT OF CONTROL SHIT.
ANY
FUCKING THING CAN COME INTO MY EAR AT ANY MOMENT.
THAT
IS WHAT I - ANYBODY CAN GET INTO MY FUCKING EAR AT
ANYTIME.
SOME WOMAN TALKING ABOUT WHAT WEíRE DOING AFTER THE
SHOW.
FUCKING GUESTS FACES COMING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF A
FUCKING SCRIPT.
WELL, I'M SORRY.
IT'S FUNNY EVERY TIME.
IT'S FUNNY BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN THERE.
NOT TO SAY THAT WE'VE
LOST HER TEMPER TO THAT EXTENT, BUT WE'VE HAD OUR BAD DAYS WHERE
THINGS ARE GOING WRONG AND WE ARE LIVE ON AIR AND THINGS ARE
MALFUNCTIONING AND THE THING THAT MAKES US DIFFERENT IS THAT
WE DON'T DO THIS BUT IN THE NEW SHOW WHERE EVERYTHING HAS TO GO
PERFECTLY AND WE CAN'T JUST BE HONEST WITH THE AUDIENCE ABOUT
WHAT IS GOING ON.
HE DOES THE ROBOTIC BUTTON-DOWN NEW SHOW.
HE'S A GREAT GUY, SMART GUY BUT IF YOU SCREW UP ON LIVE TV AND
YOU ARE DOING TRADITIONAL TV IT IS LIKE THAT OF THE WORLD.
LOOK, WE'RE NOT MAD AT HIM.
WE COULD PROBABLY YELLED THE
PRODUCER TO, LET'S KEEP IT REAL BUT HAVING SAID THAT, YOU
SHOULDN'T SAY, HE WAS WORRIED THAT THEY WERE SAYING THE WRONG
THINGS ON AIR.
YOU SHOULD BE WORRIED ABOUT THAT AND IF YOU
HAVE AN EARPIECE AND SOMEONE IS TALKING AT YOU WHILE YOU ARE
TRYING TO TALK ON AIR, IT IS ENORMOUSLY DISTRACTING.
I'M NOT
SURE I EVER HAD ALL OF THE PEOPLE COMING IN MY YEAR.
ANYWAY, IT'S NOT TO GET ON LAWRENCE, AND YOU CAN'T GO
LEAKED TAPES LIKE THIS.
OF COURSE YOU CAN'T.
OF COURSE
YOU'RE GOING TO GET FIRED.
THEY WANT TO DO MORE VIDEOS?.
JUST DO A RANDOM VIDEOÖ.
WHAT IS GOING ON, WHY MY LOSING THIS?
WHY DON'T I
HAVE SOUND?
ALL RIGHT, IT IS FACT THAT SOMEONE IS PRESSING
BUTTONS AND TURNING MY SOUND OFF.
WHO IS ASKING FOR A LABOR
DAY RUN DOWN IN MY EAR?
THAT MOMENT OF ANGER.
IT'S AWESOME.
WHEN I'M MAD AT YOU, BROTHER, IN FACT, IT'S THE MOST HUMAN THING.
I AM GOING TO BE HONEST, IT MADE ME LIKE HIM MORE
BECAUSE IT MADE ME SEE HIS HUMAN SIDE.
YOU DON'T SEE TELEVISION PEOPLES HUMAN SIDE.
ANYWAY, ANOTHER ONE.
JUST REAL QUICK, MAYBE TWO MORE.
GOD DAMMIT. 10 SECONDS.
SORRY, MAN.
SORRY, BUT THAT IS JUST TOO GOOD.
NOW LOOK,
SHOULD HE HAVE BEEN FIRED?
YOU CANNOT LEAKED TAPES OF THE
HOST.
BUT LET THEM GO.
THEY LET THEM GO.
LITERALLY.
AND
HEY, KNUCKLEHEAD, IF YOU TAKE A TAPE FROM ONE END OF THE COMPANY
AND DRAG IT OVER TO YOUR EMAIL OR WHATEVER AND THEN EDIT IT ON
YOUR COMPUTER, ARE THEY GOING TO CATCH YOU?
COURSE THEY
ARE.
,, YOU HAVE TO KNOW BETTER THAN THAT.
LET'S AND WITH ONE MORE.
AND TRAGEDY AND INTO THAT TRAGEDY TODAY STEPPED THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
THERE IS INSANITY IN THE CONTROL
ROOM TONIGHT.
IT IS THE BEST.
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE WE STILL SAY THERE IS
INSANITY IN THE CONTROL ROOM TONIGHT.
