THING IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THIS, YET ANOTHER PUBLIC MELTDOWN
TAKING PLACE ACROSS AMERICA.
I'M TALKING ABOUT THE LEAKED VIDEO OF MSNBC ANCHOR AND SMUG
MANNEQUIN, LAWRENCE O'DONNELL.
THIS WEEK, SOME FOOTAGE WAS LEAKED OF LAWRENCE GETTING A
LITTLE TESTY DURING A TAPING.
>> BUT HE DID BRING A HAT, A HAT THAT IS FOR SALE.
>> 15 SECONDS.
>> WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHY AM I LOSING THIS?
WHY DON'T I HAVE SOUND?
WHO'S ASKING FOR A LABOR DAY RUNDOWN IN MY EAR?
>> 20 SECONDS.
>> (BLEEP).
DAMN IT.
>> 10 SECONDS.
>> THERE'S INSANITY IN THE CONTROL ROOM TONIGHT.
SOMEONE IN THAT CONTROL ROOM IS OUT OF CONTROL.
( LAUGHTER ) >> Stephen: WOW!
HE WENT FROM ZERO TO "DAD ON DAY THREE OF ROADTRIP" LIKE THAT.
( LAUGHTER ) AND WITH O'DONNELL ALREADY
FURIOUS ABOUT THE TALKING IN HIS EAR, THE CREW PICKED A BAD TIME
TO START RENOVATING THE STUDIO.
>> COMING UP: IS DONALD TRUMP GOING TO BE CALLED TO TESTIFY TO
CONGRESS?
MICHAEL ITZKOFF HAS THE LATEST ON THAT.
STOP THE HAMMERING.
STOP THE HAMMERING OUT THERE.
WHO'S GOT A HAMMER?
WHERE IS IT?
WHERE'S THE HAMMER?
IS IT ON THE-- GO UP ON THE OTHER FLOOR.
SOMEBODY GO UP THERE AND STOP THE HAMMERING.
STOP THE HAMMERING!
I'LL GO DOWN THERE TO THE GOD (BLEEP) FLOOR MYSELF AND
STOP IT.
>> Stephen: FOLKS, I GOT TO SAY, WHILE THE FOOTAGE IS NOT
FLATTERING, AS A BROADCASTER, I REALLY FEEL FOR LAWRENCE IN THAT
CLIP.
HOSTING A TELEVISION SHOW IS EXTREMELY STRESSFUL AND THESE
GUYS KNOW IT IS HARD TO DO WITH ANY DISTRACTION.

YEAH.
( APPLAUSE ) >> Stephen: THANK YOU, JON.
I'M GLAD YOU AGREE.

THIS CAN HAPPEN TO THE BEST OF US.
I HAD A MELTDOWN OF MY OWN RECENTLY.
SO THAT'S WHY, IN SOLIDARITY WITH LAWRENCE O'DONNELL AND JUST
TO GET AHEAD OF THE STORY BEFORE IT BREAKS, I'M RELEASING MY OWN
TAPE.
ALSO, MR. PRESIDENT, WHAT'S THE CAPITAL OF NAMBIA ANYWAY,
COVFEFE?
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN MY EARPIECE?
SOMEONE'S HITTING BUTTONS IN MY EARPIECE.
WHY IS A WOMAN TALKING ABOUT CHRISTMAS IN MY EARPIECE RIGHT
NOW.
SHE'S LITERALLY DESCRIBING CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
(BLEEP) AND THAT'S WHY HE SHOULD BE BROUGHT-- GREAT (BLEEP).
THIS WOMAN IS BACK IN MY EAR.
NOW SHE'S RINGING SLEIGH BELLS AND RECITING "THE 12 DAYS OF
CHRISTMAS."
♪ GOLDEN RINGS ♪ DAMN IT!
