welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
times celebs were fought live on tv if
you want to have a woman i need to have
a woman in front of me to be able to do
that put your insult to me now why
didn't i come for that for this list
we're looking at the wildest celebrity
altercations that happened on live
television did we miss one of your
favorite celebrity brawls let us know in
the comments below
number 10. sharon osbourne vs sheryl
underwood on the daytime program the
talk sharon osbourne got heated with her
co-host sheryl underwood in discussing
pierce morgan's comments about meghan
markle osborne defended her former
america's got talent colleague against
accusations of racism i know he has a
right to say what he feels
on the interview as we have a right to
say and everybody has a right to say
what they feel with freedom of speech
underwood attempted to calm down her
fellow panelists but it was too late for
the british host feeling targeted
osborne launched into a bleeped tirade
as the show went to commercial how can i
be racist about anybody
how can i be racist about anybody or
anything in my life
how can i well well well i will watch we
will be right back we have more topics
so don't go away the show came back from
break even more tense than before as the
host became more defensive even as the
program went south underwood kept her
cool as she was verbally attacked i'm
not tearing up because you've hurt me or
i want some sympathy i'm tearing up
because i have to restrain that because
if i had responded
then i would have been the angry black
woman the resulting impact of the fight
led to osborne's departure from the show
number nine andy kaufman vs jerry lawler
in 1982 comedian andy kaufman took the
late night with david letterman audience
for a theatrical ride to me you'd have
to be nuts to want to get into the ring
with this guy and he appears to be maybe
twice your weight
and he's better looking joining wrestler
jerry lawler as a guest the performer
riled up his rival in an escalating
argument that turned physical unable to
break up the fight letterman was only
able to watch as the show went off the
rails lawler slapped his neck brace
wearing counterpart knocking him out of
his chair
[Applause]
things only got worse when kaufman
returned to chew lawler out in one of
the more intense moments in late night
history
my friend i will sue you for everything
you have i will see you
as far as i could sir you hear me even
if it was staged the two were clearly
dedicated to making it all look legit
number eight chanel west coast versus
charlemagne the god mtv's mainstay show
ridiculousness welcomed outspoken media
personality charlemagne the god to the
guest couch
say something doesn't make it the truth
that's true it's just my opinion she's
staying there i told her she was whack
rapping one time
it started off cordially enough but it
was only a matter of time that the
breakfast club host stirred up trouble
co-host chanel west coast was reminded
of a series of criticisms leveled
against her by charlemagne have y'all
ever heard a rap
okay good for the people that said no
avoiding eye contact the two exchanged
words with west coast standing up to
deliver her rebuttal defending her
talent and hip-hop career the performer
didn't mince words in front of the
studio audience
after getting into a verbal argument
with him because he respected me so much
after i spoke my mind to him he still
came back and did a song why are you
talking with your hands though host rob
dear deck tried to extinguish the fire
but even his lovable energy couldn't
stop this fight
number seven cardi b vs nicki minaj
there's no place too fancy for a good
old-fashioned rumble these two musicians
encountered each other at the harper's
bazaar icons party cardi b attacked
nicki minaj over alleged words about the
former's daughter the anaconda rapper
later denied speaking oliver rival's
family but that didn't stop the latter
from starting a fight in the heat of the
moment the bodak yellow artist even
threw her shoe at minaj insults and
punches didn't stop until the two were
separated needless to say the new york
fashion community watched in horror as
it all transpired
number six cardi b versus asia davis on
love in hip-hop new york cardi b made a
name for herself as a rapper and a
one-of-a-kind personality her reputation
for throwing footwear and fights was
etched into legend with this televised
disaster
the performer and her co-star asia davis
hashed out their many grievances on a
reunion show it was immediately clear
why the two had been positioned so far
away after a few stern words the artist
was ready to throw down again with
davies you had to drop me both of you
had to jump me i'll jump
again
cardi b needed a whole team to keep her
from laying hands on arrival this wasn't
the last we would see of the performer
but it was certainly a turning point for
her career
[Applause]
number five burt reynolds versus mark
summers during a memorable episode of
the tonight show with jay leno the
kindly mark summers was the second guest
after a testy burt reynolds the
legendary actor started things off on a
sour note by picking a fight just say
that because your back is to me and i i
was just talking to her back no no i
could talk to you too but thank you
watch out he's got scissors summer's
reciprocated by mentioning reynolds
failed marriage leading to an unexpected
water war
[Applause]
even jay leno himself realized he'd lost
control of his own show this is what's
known as losing control of the program
ladies and gentlemen by the time
everyone's mugs were empty the show was
never going back to normal the two
guests later squared off in a pie duel
that left nobody unscathed one
two three
bizarre and unexpected this fight was
surprising from start to finish
number four the geraldo brawl geraldo
rivera made a name for himself in the
1980s with his own controversial show in
a particularly heated discussion three
white supremacists squared off with
activists on a tense panel let's get to
the real issues here why are you kirby
why are you beating around the bush
jerry
look at that
jerry king
that was your former name was it it
wasn't and i really recommend that you
don't push me too hard when one of the
skinhead leaders called roy innis a
racial epithet the core chairman
confronted the bigoted man the resulting
chaos created a domino effect that
spread throughout the studio a flying
chair broke the host's nose during the
brawl it's one of the few television
broadcasts that became a near riot
afterwards the racist portion of the
panel was removed from the stage when
all was said and done a bloodied rivera
continued the show like nothing happened
only
slightly the worst for the wear
we're back number 3 porsche williams vs
kenya moore the real housewives of
atlanta cast were no strangers to
confrontation but this iconic reunion
made other episodes look tame
anybody
she's playing she's playing victory
everything went downhill fast as porsha
williams and kenya moore chirped at each
other kenya's megaphone prop only made
things worse as the two tried to talk
over each other after being accused of
cheating on her ex-husband williams had
been pushed to her limit host andy cohen
was not able to break up the bout before
it got really ugly
williams took her co-star to the floor
grabbing more by the hair needless to
say this fight was one for the real
housewives history books
number 2 muhammad ali versus joe frazier
in this vintage clip two heavyweight
champions duped it out in a studio
instead of the ring muhammad ali and joe
frazier talked boxing with host howard
cosell while sitting a little too close
for comfort
i feel good too that's where i feel like
i should dress for this kind of show
analyzing match footage the rivals went
from good-natured ribbing to a full
argument after ali started name-calling
frasier didn't take the criticism well
most viewers probably saw this coming
from a mile away
i went to hospital for 10 minutes she
went for a month now be quiet the pair
hit the ground in an impromptu grappling
session there's no question that things
would have gotten much worse if security
hadn't showed up in the end the champs
chose to save the remaining fight for
their next face off
