sometimes TV just brings out the worst
in people
welcome to watchmojo.com front a tional
TV moments for this list we're looking
at times when people were called out on
TV for one reason or another and didn't
take too kindly to it making for some
epic clashes this list just goes to show
that TV is no place to settle an
argument
number 10 Nicki Minaj vs. Miley Cyrus
32nd annual MTV Video Music Awards with
most people if someone said something
about us in public we'd probably choose
to talk with that person in private and
settle our differences but then again
we're not Nicki Minaj after Miley
weighed in on a spat between Minaj and
Taylor Swift in The Times being critical
of Nicki's callout nature she herself
was called out on live TV at one of the
biggest award shows of the year and now
back to this [ __ ] that had a lot to say
about me to up a day in the press Miley
what's good well we can't say Nicki
doesn't know how to pick her shots the
incident blew up off screen as well
making its rounds on social media being
covered in Time magazine and even
landing Minaj a spotlight interview with
the New York Times in this industry we
all do interviews and we all know how
they manipulate Nicki congratulations
number 9 Nancy Grace versus missing
boy's father Nancy Grace oh boy this is
hard to watch while making an appearance
on Nancy Grace in an effort to help
track down as missing son Charles
Bothell the fourth was confronted with
live news reports that police had in
fact found his son after all in the
basement of his own house Charlie we're
getting reports that your son has been
found in your basement sir clearly mr.
Bothell was using his son to boost his
own publicity Nancy's stunned at the
breaking news looks on incredulous ly as
mr. Bothell puts on one hell of an
acting lesson in an effort to feign
surprise
it's just also cringe-worthy in reality
Charles and his wife had kept the boy
hostage in the basement and were later
charged with child abuse yes the boy has
been found alive
number 8 Naomi Campbell vs. reporter
Nightline Campbell usually known for her
grace and beauty showed us anything but
when she was confronted with allegations
by an ABC News reporter that she
received blood diamonds from the former
Liberian leader Charles Taylor an
all-around not nice dude who received a
diamond from Charles II the diamond and
I'm not gonna speak about that thank you
very much denying the claims Kamel
refused to speak on the matter before
suddenly storming off the set and
knocking over the camera this naturally
instead made people wonder if she had in
fact received illegal diamonds after all
thankfully she was later subpoenaed to
appear at Taylor's trial for war crimes
where she admitted she received the
diamonds from the Liberian leader and
her testimony helped convict him someone
hadn't said there were diamonds I would
have guessed right away that they were
diamonds number 7 Morton vs. Seika the
Morton Downey jr. show if you can
remember trashy daytime TV talk shows
like Jerry Springer and Jenny Jones then
you'll know exactly what to expect from
Morton Downey jr. known for being highly
aggressive to guests and tackling
controversial subjects Downey took an
especially hostile approach to
questioning adult film star Seika trying
to tie her to the mob and doubting her
morals while questioning whether
pornography was hurting American society
I started out with one store very small
mom didn't give you the money Bob no but
the last straw for sake up before she
stormed off set came wood Morton accused
her of sleeping around indiscriminately
before throwing to commercial and not
letting her respond I'd much rather hear
it from those people who have studied it
than from someone who's laid down with
everyone that they can find in a porn
film such a greasy move by Morton but a
great way to hook viewers
number six the Duchess of York versus 60
minutes 60 minutes how many interviews
can you recall where the interviewee
rolled their eyes non-stop answered in
monosyllables wagged their finger at the
reporter demanded parts be deleted and
then ultimately walked out of the
interview before returning to finish
write none but don't try and trick me
now because I'm not going to play this
game delete that bit and that's why this
interview with Sarah Ferguson is so
fascinating sitting down with 60 minutes
Australia after she was busted for
taking bribes from the press in exchange
for access to her former husband Prince
Andrew the Duchess clearly was not in
the mood to be pressed about any of it
but press she was and she didn't handle
it well yeah I'm gonna take five no sir
but as she says you gotta move forward
the book is called finding Sarah does
that mean you were lost very lost are
you lost Michael or you do you know
where you are
many people in this world are lost
number five samuel l.jackson vs. Sam
Rubin
KTLA morning news while doing press for
the Robocop reboot KTLA's morning show
entertainment reporter ran through
Jackson's list of film achievements but
mistakenly added a commercial starring
Laurence Fishburne Super Bowl commercial
did you get a lot of reaction that Super
Bowl commercial what Super Bowl
commercial well slj didn't let the host
off the hook for the confusion he did
manage the situation incredibly well as
it could have been much worse do the
entertainment report I know I came a
reply you don't know the difference
between a mild day after a few insults
like seeing the talent pool for
Entertainment reporters must be really
low at KTLA Jackson eventually allowed
the interview to continue but it was
such an epic screw up on the hosts
behalf that it never really got back on
track you can tell he just wanted it to
end so he could go bury his head in the
sand I won't make the same research me
when you don't confuse them with those
other white actors
this is a well-deserved spanking thank
you for it
number four Elisabeth Hasselbeck vs.
Rosie O'Donnell the view if these two
are friends and managed to fight like
this imagine if they were enemies the
moral of the story is it would have been
better to settle issues behind the
scenes rather than get into a shouting
match of he-said she-said on TV did Iraq
attack us no I'm saying al-qaeda okay
Elizabeth Iraq did not attack us right
we've been there before but that's
exactly what happened after Rosie and
Elizabeth got into it concerning which
of them was using facts while discussing
the Iraq war guess what I like facts as
you've already guessed both of them had
their own set of facts and refused to
give any ground the worst thing about
arguing on TV is that no one wants to
give in and lose face and so no one does
you know call me a coward
number three Tom Cruise versus Matt
Lauer today when crews sat down with
Lauer in 2005 to promote more of the
world's we surely did not expect such
tension between them but then again
intensely personal topics like religion
and health are landmines at the best of
times the thing that I'm saying about
Brooke is that there's misinformation
okay and she doesn't understand the
history of psychiatry she doesn't
understand in the same way that you
don't understand it man
when Lauer further pressed crews as to
whether his marriage to Katie Holmes was
a publicity stunt and why Cruz was so
vocal against Brooke Shields use of
antidepressants tensions between the two
came to a boil but but aren't there
examples where it works years later in
an interview with Andy Cohen Lauer
remarked that at one point during the
interview he wondered if he'd have to
tackle or wrestle Cruz because tom was
getting so upset look if I want to know
something I go and find out because I
don't talk about things that I don't
understand
number two Burt Reynolds versus Marc
summers The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
when Jay Leno loses control of an
interview you know it was a train wreck
and that train wreck came in the form of
Burt Reynolds
we once filled a container with 4,000
pounds of baked beans and made kids dive
into it which was really great
recently divorced from Loni Anderson
Burt didn't care for some of Jays
material on the matter and became a bit
standoffish
by the time Nickelodeon TV host mark
summers came out it didn't take long
before mr. Reynolds started insulting
him too
[Applause]
whether brave or stupid summers also
made a dig about Burt's divorce and all
hell broke loose with personal insults
hurled water thrown and a pie fight
finale not even a fake hug at the end of
the show could resolve the tension

nationalist versus Geraldo Geraldo and I
really recommend that you don't push me
too hard oh come on we're not even sure
if an interview like this featuring
white nationalist groups and members of
the Jewish and African American
community could happen on TV today it's
asking for trouble and trouble answered
resulting in one of the more chaotic
brawls ever seen on TV and a broken nose
for the host
now you may be wondering why this
interview was ever allowed to take place
to begin with and if it was all just a
big ratings grab and you're not alone
critics of the day wondered the same
thing
Geraldo however told People magazine he
was happy to expose these racist groups
and was doing viewers a service what it
was were not sure
slightly the worse for the wear we're
back the skinheads have been well the
racist skinheads have been cleared out
