30 Times When Celebrities Were Caught Off Guard During Their Interview (4 of 6)

A Crossfire Interview Gone Wrong

When Jon Stewart was invited as a guest on the show of Tucker Carlson, which was aired on CNN and was about to stop, he was perhaps expecting some jokes of political nature to be cracked by the host. But, to everybody’s surprise, Stewart started denouncing the others in the show as according to him, they were the “Partisan Hacks” and he also requested them to not cause harm to America. It took time for others to react to this as this was quite unexpected of him.

Ben Affleck Wants A Topless Interview!

Most people were shocked and piqued when Affleck was drunk during the shooting of this 2004 interview with Anne-Marie Losique. He straddled her and teased her saying that the audiences would have loved the show a lot more if she was actually topless! He also went on to say that she usually shows a lot more cleavage. Well, it didn’t exactly turn out to be good PR. Years later, Anne-Marie Losique has come out in support of Affleck and said that it was all actually staged!

James Brown – “I am single and ready to mingle”

This 1986 CNN interview of James Brown was epic beyond words. When the reporter asked how he would actually answer the question to his fans regarding his relationship troubles that he had been going through lately, he went on to say that he feels good. “Papa’s got a new bag” and it’s a man’s world. The most memorable part, though, was when he shouted at Ted Turner, founder of CNN – “where’d y’at Ted?”

R. Kelly’s memorable BET Interview

In an interview with BET in the year 2008, R. Kelly was provided with the best ever opportunity to dispel all rumors regarding his personal life. But to do that, you need to understand you’re in trouble in the first place. If the question is “are you attracted to teenage girls”, the right answer would definitely not be “how old are we talking about, when you say, teenage girls”!

Shannon Tweed Walks Out on Gene Simmons

Looking back, we wonder how Shannon Tweed actually made that far in that interview. After all, she had to listen to details of how her husband Gene Simmons has had sex with over 5000 women. It was a bit too much really when Joy Behar asked her how her back was, especially considering the fact that it was all tasteless enough for her to answer.
