"At 18. Can you imagine someone asking you that? Are you asking someone that? Oh, I've been asked that in interviews. Really? Really? Oh yeah. If you have kids with somebody and you're not married yet or they're like, so, you know, you're going to get married and make it legitimate. We get in your life. I don't know what it might be in the eye, make it legitimate right now. Yes. So yeah, like, yeah, I mean, that's surprising. I feel like Martha kind of slut shame the Kardashians. Let me tell you something. Let me tell you something. Martha is like Barbara. It's like Oprah. Right. It's like Diane Sawyer. Yeah. There's an age and experience that makes you like, your grandmother can ask you some of the wildest questions that nobody else can ask because she did her time. Martha did 5 years in the pinch. She got out the finish. Oh, I was crocheting. I was teaching yoga. Cooking classes. She is not hiding from her past. So I think Martha asked the question that most 80 year olds would ask to their friends, how do you feel about your daughter not marrying them? You know what I mean? And I also think I also think like as you as I mean as a woman, you get older, and you're like, oh, I'm just going to say whatever savage. That's getting older. This is kind of true. Yeah. 20 more years. You can say, ask, don't be lit up by me. You already asking things that you should not be asking. Yes, but you wait 20 more years. This is going to be all bad. I was married now. So I was very. Like, what is going on? But you know what? Also, I think that they know each other that they're Friends. So there's a level of comfortability. I don't think we wouldn't ask that type of question on this show of someone like that. But also, it's modern times. People not getting married. Women have more freedom and sexual freedom. So yeah, we're not getting married to the first person that knock us up. Yeah, that's your tradition. Right now, it's a modern day. 100%, I want to see Martha talk about these pronouns. I would like to see Martha tackle. Yeah, modern things. And really give her opinion on it because unfortunately, there are people that are still stuck in 1940 and Martha Stewart is not afraid to ask those questions, but she's a little stuck in the sense. Right. You know what's cool? Like, we can't have everybody in the future, but we would like for you to come. She needs to call snoop and be like, how are you? How do you do it? Yeah, how do we do it? I can't tell you how the greatest story ever. Oh, Christian, and I'm so sorry. I went to a wedding one time, and this was like right when Chris and Bruce broke up and she just started dating Corey gamble. Okay. Okay. And we had this fancy wedding in Malibu. It's a reception. It's in the back of like, you know, somebody's York. Oh, spill that tea. And all of a sudden, she walks in and she's like, in this black moment, these big diamond earrings, birkin bag, and behind her walks this like hot black dude chains, Nike shorts, Jordans on it, and it's Corey gamble, but at this point, no one knew about Corey gamble. And to watch all the bougie ladies from Beverly Hills, all the accuracy. Like break their necks. Hell, what's going on? Because like, you know, when somebody goes from Bruce, Jenner Tory gamble, it's a big shot, but what I think is happening is her daughters are starting to rub off on her and showing her that she can find love in a younger place and a different place. In a different area. And opening her mind up to other things because she was probably. Yeah, because they're not married. I mean, her and Kourtney. They think shacking up and whatever you know. Living in Seattle. You know what I mean? But it's like, it's modern times and it's actually is for women to decide who they want to be with. How they want to be with. You got to take care of the babies. I think sometimes your kids teach you. I mean, your kids are your biggest teachers. You know, I know I've taught my mom things about genius perspective and my kids do it to me all the time. Run me that Corey gamble so I can live in a modern time. Coming up, Kristin Cavallari and Tyler, Cameron, turn things all the way up. Plus, our two bachelorettes better than one host Jesse pormer tells us how they're breaking all the rules this season. Is he like Peter? Are you ready for cheesy pickup lines and a battle for love? Ready or not, the bachelorette is almost here and it's already going off the rails. Hello ladies. Oh my God. Oh my God, that was a rat. How are you doing today? It's good to meet you before I hug you. I wanted to introduce you to a couple of my friends. When I heard there was going to be two bachelorettes, I figured I should practice hanging out with a couple of cute chicks all the time. I love it. Here they are. This is Mary Beth. Is it sweet? Yeah, she's great. Alejandro's had an attitude, but she's like doing great. My name is Logan. Logan. Sorry. I'll take that one. You know what? We're so happy to be here all three of us. And we'll see you inside. I would make him raise both those chickens the whole time in the mouth. I would keep them until the top three and then be like, you know what, your kids aren't acting right, you got to go. Well, at least he was trying to be creative. You know what a lady was trying. Don't bring yard animals to a date. That's just not. Like, don't show up with a goat. Well, that's what they do in Africa. They bring a gout. But then you actually take the person, that's it. But no, I just. Yeah, memorable though. Memorable. It's all about memorable. And it's awesome. That he needs a haircut. But look, this is what we're going to get when you have two women. You're going to have to try to do something different. And you know, I have to appreciate the fact that he tried to do something different. Well, you know what? Yeah, we're going to see a lot of that. There's a magician. There's another guy who showed up shirts moves. You know. Wait, did he make the chicks disappear? Huh? Did he make the chicks disappear? No, he did not. But let me let you know something. If a man shared up and made my credit cards

We give her a hard time, but I'm addicted to my phone too. Right? I know. It doesn't seem like it, but when I'm at home, I realize how much I'm checking in.

"Divided on this. Could you guys date? I know we've talked about this a lot in a specifically. Somebody who's shorter than you. Well, before we talk about this, I do want to go back to an interview that they read that Tom recently did where he said that their height difference is not a problem while they're dating and he thinks that it's ridiculous that people even think it's an issue. So I want to say that because he's come out and said that it is not a problem. Speculation. And it's kind of he thinks it's a little misogynistic that people are even posing that question. So this is when they're talking about filming. So just want to make that clear. Oh, you know what the fact that I love it, but could you in your life, Nina? Your personal life, Terry. I mean, both of you let me know. Well, I think I'm probably guilty of on those dating apps where you have your preference setting, and you can talk about age and you talk about location, how many miles, whatever you also talk about height. And I probably have put over 5 ten or 5 11. So I think the instinct is to want to date someone taller. That said, I think it's absolutely true, especially the older you get. It does not. That's just garbage. I mean, the things that define a human being on the exterior, your height, your looks, your age, your weight, whatever. They're inconsequential in terms of having a real deep, great relationship. And I'm not lying. Like, you know, I'm 5 8 and a half 5 9 with heels. I could be like 6 feet tall. I'm really tall. And when I was younger, definitely was an issue. All my boyfriends were really tall. Like I needed a tall guy. Now honestly, I promise it's not an issue. I think if it was like maybe under 5 5. Oh, no. It would be a little bit more of an issue. But I have dated men shorter than me. I would date a shorter guy because I have to give what I want to receive. I'm not a perfect human being myself, and I wouldn't want somebody to say, I don't want to hear her because she's tall. I wouldn't want someone to not date me because I'm tos I can't return that same energy. And I just feel like it's just, you know, connections or something like, you connect with someone you connect with someone, and I don't want to put those barriers, but I just don't want to put that into the universe that I'm that shallow. Right. You're not going to be able to meet somebody or make a connection with them because they have their height criteria doesn't match that. It's good to be open minded. But of course, tall is always a nice thing. You always have your wishlist. You always, you know, of course. Everybody does. You could argue that if you're short, you make up for it in confidence, ambition, kindness, clever. Whatever a thousand. Exactly. Your shortcomings..

"Fresh from New York. Fresh, ready to the time change hasn't hit me yet. So I'm good. I feel like it's, you know, later than it is. Trust me, that's why you're up and fresh. Exactly. We're so happy to learn. Through The Rain. It's going to be a good show. All right, let's start with Britney Spears. In a now deleted Instagram post, Britney called out Diane Sawyer for a 2003 interview where Diane asked if she had a shopping addiction and made her cry. Diane has not publicly commented on the interview or Britney's post, Brittany also made some interesting comments about her split from Justin Timberlake. She wrote that after their breakup, she didn't speak to anyone for a long time because she was in shock. All right, how did you feel reading all of this? Are you happy? She's finally able to share her side of the story all of her thoughts. Are you happy to hear from Brittany? Yeah, I mean, listen, I know a lot of people are thinking like, why is she talking about these things now? But we have to remember she's been under conservatorship for 13 years, so there's things that she had wanted probably to say a decade ago. But she just had to sit on and she had to let other people tell her story. We had to hear the narrative only from one side. So now that the gates are open, she's saying what she needed to say. And I think, look, to me, it's therapeutic to talk about things. And if you can only talk about it in a room, that's empty. It's not as helpful. Oh. Yeah. That was dramatic. That's true. And everybody. And I feel like I do that a lot in my house. It works for me. I agree with you. Or in an empty car when you're alone with thoughts. Yeah. I've been interviewed by Diane in my home and Barbara Walters, and you know, I think I've found them both to be lovely. But I think, you know, press interviews, they're an opposed thing, you know? You could be a private celebrity who has to promote a product. I think she was promoting a new record album in this interview. And then the journalist is trying to get a scoop. You know? And they're diametrically kind of opposed to what either both of them might want. And we have to remember it was 2003. Social media was not the same. There was an Instagram. There was a Twitter, those things didn't exist in the way that now you can kind of use it to tell your own story and you're outside the story of an article comes out that you don't like. You can immediately tweet about it and set the record straight. But back then, it was a different game. And also we have to remember that journalists aren't your Friends. These aren't people that are meant to make you look good. They are meant to tell two sides of the story. And so sometimes it's not always favorable. Sometimes they're going to ask hard questions. And so for that, I think that's a must, and that's something that you can't say, well, I like this person so I can't ask this question. It just doesn't work like that. Or shouldn't. It shouldn't. And I think that, you know, the journalist obviously has their responsibility to the people that are watching the interviews or reading the interviews to get what people are curious about. It is to put the talent or the celebrity in the position where they do have to come forth about things that people have invested all of this time and money into them. If your relationship or something is going wrong, we are entitled to know some version of it. I mean earlier, are we not, but I think people continue to be curious about celebrities. Because you sort of like you find hope through their successes and you sort of feel less alone when they're sharing their traumas. Exactly. That's why I do feel like on some level if you are going to put yourself out there as a public person. You can't all of a sudden turn on everything and say, oh, well, I can't share any of that. It doesn't work both ways as we know. I'm so old that when I got into the business, none of this exists. How nice was that? I didn't know if you were Instagram. I know. I think this is now and you could be a dinner with someone privately and somebody get you on your phone and it's a headline without you even knowing about it until the next day. So it is a different time and you do have to move differently. But I think there has to be an understanding of being a public figure and people are going to want to know about your life, privacy, even for the regular person. The man working a 7 11 don't have a privacy. By the way, if you want to lurk on his stuff, you can lurk on his own. So that's true. I'm not wearing a mask on the plane. In that way. Exactly. It's just going to find you. You know, it's a thing like privacy doesn't really exist for any of us. None of us were able to check up on our exes after breakups. You know, 15 years ago, it was like you split and you didn't see each other, and that was it. And maybe you heard something through the great mind of Christmas. Now you can mark on somebody's face. You don't have every day if you want to. That's the way the world is. None of us have problems. It's so short. Somebody's doing something that you don't like. You can feel it. Have you ever felt Terry though in your career that somebody has ever really imposed on your privacy in an interview? Is there one moment where you were like, wow, calm down bitch? It's too much. Well, I probably didn't use those words. But and I'm not seeking anything specific, but that said, absolutely..

That's been going on since two thousand eight. It's her dad jamie spears. Who is her conservator. And so a the freebritney movement has grown over the past couple years and really this documentary. Just kind of like i mean. It's been something that's been going on for years with. His documentary sparked fresh interest in it too and a lot of criticism and people calling out. Justin timberlake to yeah. I feel like this. This documentary definitely started a conversation about the way that we treated and the way that we treat celebrities because a little brittany. She started when she was a baby. Literally and so. The question is being asked in interviews and the way that she was being treated and scrutinized by the media and justin timberlake just using all that to his advantage. Which let's talk about that apology. Dude quote unquote apology. I mean okay. I completely agree.

In the media's scrutinized her and abused her as so sting they had all the audacity and none of the accountability.

No she was facing. I believe a court ordered, um, stint in rehab in 2013. There was a date on the calendar that she was to check into rehab. And, um, and you know she was there to promote a movie, But David Letterman wanted to focus on the fact that she was headed to rehab.

"Favorite moments from last week's shows on my top one of 71, and now we're gonna do this. And then there was a scandal vintage scan. She was quite the scandal. Okay, You producers out there. You might have a story to tell. Because CBS news producer Ira Rosen Has retired from the business, and he has written a book that there's going to be more more excerpts coming out. It's called ticking clock behind the scenes. At 60 minutes and he joined, Um, he worked. The book is out next week, and he wrote this memoir about his career at 16 minutes.

So when he joined, But you know that's kind of interesting because you do want talent. Absolutely. And it was 1980. He was 26.

Wallace cursed, Um, Alan me. Norris, who was the senior producer told him he was a failure is producer he would be demoted. As soon as we return to New York.

"With Ryan Gorman on PM Tampa Bay Joining me now I have Washington Post editorial writer Molly Roberts, who wrote a column for the Post on a brand new Britney Spears documentary and the reaction to it, Molly. Thanks for taking a few minutes to talk to us about this, and let's start with an overview of the documentary itself and what it shows. How would you summarize it? Especially for those who don't know much about Britney Spears and her backstory. Absolutely. So I would say that the documentary does two things, one of which is tell a story that a lot of us probably are of these plants and we familiar with because we saw it on the front of tabloids all through the two thousands. When we were standing in the grocery checkout aisle, and that's the story of Sidney stares, the pop star who started off as a member of the Mickey Mouse Club when she was a little kid, and then ended up having multi platinum record She played kind of Ah, We'll go sexy combination character and a number of music videos that were very popular on MTV, and she essentially was one of the biggest pop stars of that era but then ended up becoming much more. The focus of Intense scrutiny by the media by paparazzi about her personal life and about whether she was going off the rails. Whether she was a fit mother the end of that story. Was that she was forced essentially in the documentary argues into a conservatorship where her father took control of her state and her person. Again, according to the argument that she wasn't fit to do that herself. So the second thing the documentary does is dive into that conservative ship and asked the question. Is this really what Britney Spears blocked? So in your piece, you took a look back at how the media and I would say society in general treated her as she gained more and more fame and what's notable is how looking back There's so many moments involving the media and Brittany that air cringeworthy now but really didn't get much, if any scrutiny back then. Yes, I think one of the things the documentary does most effectively is run through what feels a lot like a worst hits real media interactions with Britney Spears. And this isn't just crazy. Tabloid headlines making fun of her when she's clearly struggling with real mental health issues, Bonified establishment interviewers like Diane Sawyer or Matt Lauer, and she'll see for going on these shows and you'll see people asking her when she's 16 about her breath and whether they're implants. And then you'll see Diane Sawyer, playing back to her a clip of the Maryland governor's wife, saying that if she could shoot Britney Spears, she would give him the opportunity because Britney Spears broke Justin Timberlake's heart essentially in that that's really bad example. For kids, you'll see Matt Lauer basically. Confronting her with the question of whether she is the horrible mother. All of it is laced in this kind of nonchalant misogyny that I think we all considered sort of standard sort of normal, totally acceptable and watching these things back in the day, watching almost every late night host just totally rip into her. It seemed like Of course, this is OK. And even of course, there's the matter of comedy. Watching it now it is just shocking. Grotesque. It seems like our cultural reaction today is precisely the opposite of what it was back then. I'm joined by Molly Roberts, Washington Post editorial writer who wrote a column for the post on a new Britney Spears documentary and the reaction to it. You also explain in your piece the time and this idea that society was trying to get closer to celebrities. There was this push Kind of make them into. You know, normal people talk about that aspect of all of this. Yeah, This was just around the time that you would look at those tabloids that you could get in the grocery checkout aisle, and they have a page on them, said something like stars. They're just like us. And it would show you pop stars getting coffee, for example, or just stepping out of the house to get the newspaper. But they were wearing sweat pants and they didn't look as Stunningly attractive as they do in more managers, photos and the idea there was well. We want to bring them down to our level. We don't just want to aspire to their family want to aspire to relate to them, And I think that Part of the attempts to relate. Let us to do things like make fun of them when they were having real problems, things that aren't funny because that was a way of bringing them down more tar level and making them feel like they really were Maurin reach. I think Britney Spears suffered a lot from our impulse to do just that. You know what I was thinking about Britney Spears following this documentary and all of the reaction to it. We have a tendency in this country to build people up and then to tear them down and then sometimes, depending on who they are, and the circumstances, give them a second chance and build them back up again. We've seen it time and time again. Tiger Woods would be a good example of that. But to me, the difference with Britney was She really wasn't doing anything wrong to beat Orange down. She just got caught up in the tabloid frenzy. And it seems like all of that led to a breakdown, which we all watched and and in. A lot of cases didn't really handle right. Probably not how we would handle a celebrity going through a mental health crisis like that today. Yeah, I think that that's exactly right. I think that we basically wrote a story for Britney. And then when we wrote it, it came into being and when she was trying to do was just to live her life. But we weren't going to allow her to do that on her own terms. And so now when we asked the question, and when the judge asked the question of whether she needs to be under the conservatorship It's hard to say, because she's not allowed to speak, but Even if it's true, it doesn't have results from our insistence that she was never capable in the first place, the narrative that she was never capable. The paparazzi were desperate to prove so they pursued her without quarter constantly, and it was partly that That drove her to the place. She ended up. I'm joined by Molly Roberts, Washington Post editorial writer Talking about this new Britney Spears documentary and the reaction to it now. This doesn't excuse some of what we see in this documentary by any means, And I certainly don't want this to come office sounding like slut shaming or anything like that..

You cannot come in. You don't have to come in. So that all that sass that you put through the mic yesterday. I'm just saying, I'm providing the snow is nothing And then she gets can't dig your courage this as I did my good deed and shoveled the entire neighborhoods. Entire neighborhood. Good for you actually do my neighbors driveways, but but talk at home yesterday. They're all you know, is definitely one of that's those snow. Where if you shoveled it, like one hour later, it was easy, Hard top. So my God, she was so like, Yeah, it was. It was one of those in the end of the driveway and like it was usually It's like, Oh, man, because it's all heavy and flush. It was nothing was great. Yeah, I did that. I got it all done. Did go out for a run yesterday. And where exactly? I went through northern Kentucky around the new By the way. You don't know if you've driven through the concert venue. Look, I have. Yeah, Doesn't it really looks just don't get that much, but it's it's well. The view is gonna be amazing. Well, I almost went in it because there was no sidewalk to run on so It was not great. Good debate on the side was good to be young in that regard to cause Now I look at that and go, man. I'm above my knees out. You just go. I'll be all right. I'll be fine. Now. It's like I gotta care. I mean, break a hip and it's over for me. I have to put me down like Barbara. Hip Potter's here. She's my producer. She does three things, and sometimes it's not three things. Something like 20. It's for today For today, everything's stuff. It's actually stuff. I think you're gonna level all of it. So we left off yesterday. I did my homework last night, and I watched framing Britney Spears, which is The New York Times They do these one offs, Erie's, and they did one on Britney Spears in the airs on Who loose So if you're looking to watch it, it is on who lives. And this is a really fast everyone on princesses. But I have some great audio. I can't break it. Break it down if we if you haven't seen it, you haven't seen it. The free hashtag free Britney movement has been strong within the last year to two years. Now, it has always been. The perception has always been Man. That girl is like Losing it. Dumpster Fire Dumpster fire right, her Instagram dumpster fire. But then she's got some really rabid fans that are looking into her life, looking at her instagram messages and saying, I don't know I feel like she's trying to tell us something. So the backstory with Britney Spears she came to fame obviously was she came to fame during the boy Band craze, and she's just She's an icon. She has boatloads of money. She I'm summing it up here. Her latest was a Vegas residency. That was probably their highest selling of all time and she has been answer under account cannot. I never could say this word Conserve Ater Ship Conservative Service Conservative ship for the last 12 years now, generally, people who are on these are people who are significantly disabled of by mental illness. Elderly individuals with lack of mental capacity due to medical conditions such as dementia or individuals will developmental disabilities who lack the capacity. To manage their own affairs. A lot of that's to avoid fraud, you know, and some things of that nature, so those three things when you look at Britney Spears, who is capable of selling millions of dollars worth of tickets to Vegas, you would think maybe this girl is capable. Maybe She had her moments back in the early two thousands. But we're talking 12. Years later, she's starting to really become public about the conservatorship for the first time, so just to give you some insight of what Britney went through when we were it was I came of age with her. So There are two things here, Okay? She Was a part of an era where tabloids were like the thing before social media. So to get pictures of celebrities, you couldn't just scroll the gram. You had to go buy. Okay, us weekly things of that nature. So the paparazzi was relentless, Relentless on this girl. She couldn't even walk out of her driveway into her house without hundreds of paparazzi making a couple 100,000 to a million for the money shot right. So that was relentless. And then she was also part of a coming of age era where Mental health wasn't discussed as openly it is that now postpartum depression wasn't discussed as openly. It is now and her mother believes she did go through postpartum after her second baby, and there was some mental Illness that was brought forth in a lot of it. I believe it's from the press and some of these interviews. So the first one I have for you here and to give you a little back story because today now that this documentary is getting really big People like Diane Sawyer, who you're going to hear from people like Justin Timberlake. They're getting a lot of hate in their social media comments because they said, you are responsible for this us as the media. Our is responsible for her demise because we and we also profited millions of dollars off of her. So here's an interview with Diane Story and Imagine how this would be different today. For young girls. Here's a clip..

"We think that he's on the payroll of the conservatorship. And so you know, people might think like, well, that doesn't disprove that We are wondering to what extent Something when wrong between you know Sam and Jamie like something in the business relationship floundered he asked for didn't get one exactly a scullion put forth. It's a hedging of bets that she see or he sees the Conservatorship, which would be responsible for keeping him where he's at is going to change hands from Jamie to, you know, potentially like a business or a bank or something. Maybe her mom. Yeah, exactly. You know. That could be an option to disability, but that being whatever it is the fall out from this, Um, documentary is big. I mean, a lot of people are calling for Diane Sawyer to apologize for her. Um Interview that she did with Britney when she was just 20 years old. That really I mean, quite predatory. Yeah. Don't you kind of just want to go back and watch a lot of Diane Sawyer's interviews from that time are because other people on the twitters have because, you know, I don't know if you know this. There's not a lot for people to do these days and so There's time for them to dig deep into this stuff in somebody else's posted an interview that she did with Whitney Houston. Let's show me the receipts. Video. Yeah, you know, and you've got to also contextualize the time. And the time of even Diane Sawyer having to Proved that she's a tough journalist all the time. And you know Diane Sawyer being in a male dominated field for a long time when women were objectified and seen a soft constantly in that field, And so what was Diane Sawyer trying to achieve For herself. I mean, it's a complex issue it is and it Z. I said this earlier. It's not that we need to pick on Diane Sawyer. Specifically, it is an example. Right. I also brought up an example about Bette Midler said some really uncomfortable thing while she called Britney a slut, So let's just put it that way. Okay. You know you can pick out individual examples, but to your point This was a culture and I guarantee we're all complicit in this because we all Were glued to those interviews. When they said those things and a lot of us why shouldn't throw all of you into this mix, But I can say for myself, I'm sure that I judged Maybe not in this case, but I have judged people watching interviews like that before. So remember the delight that people saw in like the Britney vs Christina Aguilera narrative without thinking that these were too Young girls that this was happening to You know, now that kind of stuff is just it's inappropriate. I like ended this morning to the shift in the viewpoint of Monica Lewinsky, right, Sure that I mean, that's the number one. That's the primo example of something that how she was seen and portrayed and viewed as the villain. Um, in that situation, and now it's completely shifts from villain to victim and it should have been victim from the beginning with her. Okay, Let's talk about Aaron Rodgers quarterback Aaron Rodgers of the Green Bay Packers. How this this whole like, Hey, Rumors are he's dating shale in Woodley. Hey, he says, I'm engaged. Wow. Guess what? They're engaged. And here is this story about how they got together. They share the same astrologer. Did she introduce them are lots of celebrities who use this astrologer. Her name is Deborah Silverman, Jennifer Aniston. Courteney Cox carried a Levin. They all follow her. And but Chilean Woodley and Aaron Rodgers apparently have both had sessions with her. And so people are wondering if they if you know if the stars brother too cute..

"Talking we're talking about two thousand and three s. The reason why diane sawyer was asking those questions was because we were consuming it was the rise of the tabloid. Yes so anybody should apologize to britney. It's the people who were consumed in two thousand and three and wanting the photos of her with their heads shaven and wanting her to apologize for being too sexy. Diane oh britney an apology agree. I'm really sorry cyber. Because i remember looking at those photos and i don't think of course. Two thousand three. I was not as extremely mature but at that age. What looking back on those photos. I remember my first thoughts. Were not this poor woman. What could she be going through. My first thoughts were why it. Yes you know. And that was not everyone. But a lot of that same thought and it's just a difference between two thousand three and two thousand twenty one. I agree with that but but also on that same. Framing documentary britney documentary. There's another interviewer in there. Which his name. Maybe because he's not as popular as diane sawyer he's not getting as much recognition but yet the one that was like everyone's talking to your boobs british thing. That's the thing that was that was terrible. Terrible that guy going viral. But this is the issue we should be supporting diane sawyer and not just say that because we always so harshly women and this is the year of the woman. And now we're turning around and we're coming down on a woman who was doing her job in a man's world at that time again and that's that's true that's true but why are we asking someone to apologize to somebody else if britney thinks she deserves an apology from diane sawyer then let her ask it stop. We need to stop letting twitter demand apology. Somebody well because guess what everybody would be on an apology tour. Because i'm pretty sure fifteen years. Somebody's gonna look at an interview. I did on justice in say. I can't believe you ask that question just as you should apologize to that person you interview. But that person's fine. Yeah yeah no. You're right maybe britney's not holding onto this. Maybe we are because we're looking at it with new eyes new. I think it's just after a watching the documentary. And you're just seeing how much she went through. Diane sawyer is kind of like the the scapegoat. Diane woman who we were. We're going to ask you something had diane sawyer. Says she did the interview and at the end of the interview after she has all those hard questioned said. Come here. Baby give me. Would that have made it better. And then they're like oh she holds her afterward. Cut that part out. Say we went to cut that part out. We wouldn't have played it that way. That's just how okay now. She's showing but she had to ask for those hard questions. And i'm just saying i appreciate what questions the hard questions are. Why do you want to be centralized. And what did you do to your boyfriend. How many people have you had sex with those kinds of questions. Don't need those outrage. But you're missing the point the outrage and i'm not seeing diane was right but i'm also not saying diane was wrong. The outrage was. She said i'm a virgin. I'm going to sell this whole virginity thing. And then all of a sudden she came out and said. I'm not virgin anymore. So yeah parents are a little outrage that he told these kids that you're virgin. What do you think about it. If you brought it up you brought your sexuality into play when you said you're a virgin and at an interview as well she should say off. Yes but it's back at that time. yes they were. She was just held to a different standard. I just don't feel toddler. What about the stars right now. The ones that are that are coming up. ''ariana grande day as a newer one. I think it's now every man for themselves. And i think we are now holding selectively holding men's hands to the fire for other things but i do think as far as sexuality we've evolved as a people you don't care of your virgin anymore. We don't care if you have a boob out on stage. All of those things have changed because we've evolved in our views. It just so happened that britney spears was at that moment where the crossroads is happening and there was a divide. The monica lewinsky thing was happening. There was a divide so she just was so. Let's just just coming out. The best for britney britney gabriel diane sawyer. She said we're sipping some tea. All right you guys up next bachelor fan.

They can't be listening wearing the world now of reality. Television people talked about sex they. They'll they'll open the the open it up. They tell it on their own but back then especially a young girl like that to put the pressure on her to try to be the.

And you're in hot water. You go sit with diane. Do the tough interview and if you get through it your career is back. Don't forget this is in two thousand. And three a year. After diana whitney houston in she spent two hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year on crack. So you gregory speier's just gonna walk into diane sawyer interview and not be hit with the hard questions. It's a little bit much. It's like somebody saying. Oh i didn't know that howard stern was going to ask me about my sex life. I didn't know my family businesses. We're going to be out of mari povich. It's the town though. It's the town that diane takes with britney. Is it just brittany or does he take it with everyone that i can say. We have an we you. She asked whitney straights her face. Do you spend two hundred thousand dollars. We also cracked that one. I want you to feel guilty for your sex life. I want you to feel guilty for your sexual the way you dress. I want you to feel guilty for your responsibility to be this perfect positive as we received it. I don't think she meant that. I think she was just doing a job. That no one else would do. Because i don't know if i would ask brittany that. I don't think i'm that type of person that i can really ask the hard questions if somebody wants to be an open book. They can't be listening wearing the world now of reality. Television people talked about sex they. They'll they'll open the the open it up. They tell it on their own but back then especially a young girl like that to put the pressure on her to try to be the. We still put the pressure on people stars to be the perfect examples especially when they started like disney princess. And then try to move on to something older but she was twenty one at this point at this point when miley cyrus still got like a big backlash whenever she tried to become more sexualize. However we have let it

Fans Outraged Over Old Diane Sawyer Interview With Britney Spears
"Fallout from the britney. Spears documentary keeps getting uglier. Justin timberlake was under fire but he is not the only one. Diane sawyer is feeling the heat as well documentary framing brittany featured. Some of diane's exclusive interview with the star from two thousand. Three and fans are outraged. They're saying. Dan owes an apology for grilling her about justin. And whether she's a bad role model for young girls. Here's a clip. He's going on television. Pretty much said you broke his heart. You did something that caused him so much pain so much suffering. What did you do. Britney spears has upset a lot of mothers in this country starting with the wife of the governor of maryland. Really if i had an opportunity to to shoot britney spears. I think i would. Oh that's that's really trying to test a lot of people was pretty wide goodness all right. So there's so much to this interview in fact like after that whole terrible quote from the governor that said i could shoot britney spears diane sawyer to that was something along the lines of well. You've really you know. Made it very hard for a lot of mothers. Wasn't that bad is governor's wife. That's who needs apologize her up unless she's not here or anything like that. But that's what needs to apologize. Get up off. Diane's she's a reporter. She was at a man's world back there. She had to be tough and nobody asked him barbara. Walters apologize but nothing. I'm just i'm done. She had to be tough. 'cause he was week we wouldn't even know her name. Right now feels different. So say you're part because i like when this talk all that i looked up the interview and listen. I'm going to say it's a reflection of the times. It's how we attacked women at that time. It just the things that diane was allowed to say to britney without even a second glance is absolutely appalling. It would never happen in two thousand twenty one. I don't believe she pulled out. Magazine articles Showing brittany and about how she was sexy. And all these things brittany said jaylo does it. Christina aguilera does it. Is it a big deal. Because will you have the connection with the. It's all making her feel guilty on top of that. This is another question. She asked this twenty one year old. She said but you said. I've only slept with one person in my whole life two years into my relationship with justin and yet he's left the impression that you weren't faithful that you betrayed the relationship she's enquiring. How many people britney has slept with questioning her on her virginity on on her sexual relations. That is insanely inappropriate. What she was grown twenty one twenty two. She was grown. She gets grown questions asked at the time she was sixteen. That i would say okay. You a little rough. But she's twenty one years old. You just talked to my nieces. That's what you've been doing your. Sat results long doesn't matter ranger national television. You're asking this young girl to to tell you. All of our sexual secrets and intimate affairs of a relationship overly scrutinized at that time anyways everything she did. This is cobbled reporter year to get the information. It is up to you to answer. Not her publicist should advisor this. You get out of the hard question

"You guys check out The New York Times docuseries on Britney Spears? No. That's the syriza of these dark documentaries, so they do a deep dive on a variety of different topics. Britney being the latest right, there's New York Times here. Yes, it's called framing Britney Spears. It's about like an hour and 40 minutes long. And I have to say, you know, I thought I knew everything that was going on with her and that there was nothing else to tell. But the way they quote unquote frame, it gives you a different perspective. If you were someone who Maybe thought like the free Britney and movement was just a silly fan thing. Sure, it really does give it leg. So the documentary to me is as much about Britney Spears as it is about her fans. And their, um their awareness of The that she is for, you know, almost 40 years old, and she's been living under this conservative ship for what 13 years. Probably. Yeah. So they talk a little bit about that, Um, she they use old footage. You know of interviews and performances and things like that. But she is subject to this court imposed conservatorship, which is really a guardianship usually Usually you don't hear about this with the young. Productive functioning adult young adult. It's usually you know, something that's used for elderly people. Who are unable to provide. I mean everything from like food and clothing and shelter for themselves to make financial decisions so This conservatorship can decide where she lives. How she spends her money. What medication she takes, who she spends time with. It's just really eye opening. You know, I have to say this about the Britney drama. I have Um, I guess I guess intentionally, subconsciously intentionally, I don't know stayed away from all of the Britney stuff. I have only seen the headlines at an arm's distance. And all of that, that being said not for any particular reason. I guess I just I've known they're out there and I've never wanted to take the next step. Learn a little bit more about what's really going on here. But I am intrigued by this to maybe, you know, I feel like do you feel like for the novice Britney drum for the person that you kind of like their music? Fun, Whatever. No, she's had her ups and are certainly fair share of downs. Is this a good Broad brush stroke of the whole story that you would watch it and feel like you're all caught up to speed. Yeah, I think so. I think so. And it also gives you a little bit of an education of how They could take away her civil liberties and give them to someone else. When this thing is supposed to be like a last resort kind of situation, you know, on the other side of it, they're saying You know, this prevents her from potentially toxic people. Um, they they get it. They've extended this conservatorship four times. And she has asked two times that our dad be removed. She has been denied. So it makes you wonder. Well, why does it keep getting denied? You know, she she wants the court hearings to be open to the public now. And you know, they take a look back in the in the first half, and you can see without them saying it. You can clearly see how she was sexualized. Even as a child she was on. What was the show that Ed McMahon star. Search Our search. You could see her on Star search. And Ed McMahon is like you have pretty eyes. Do you have a boyfriend? Then there's another interviewer who says, you know, everyone's talking about your breasts. She was like in her mid to late teens at the time, you know, And there were parents who hated her because They're kids loved her, And she's like I'm not here to baby sit your kids, right, You know, So it's just a really interesting you know, you can see these photographers who were obsessed with whether or not um She? Well, there's a male photographer in one scene who says, Oh, you can tell she really enjoys the paparazzi. Now that's just so gross, and they were obsessed with her virginity. It's just I don't know if you heard this, But now people are talking about how Diane Sawyer gave her such a hard time during her interview. Oh, yes, you. Did You see that headline? Steve 1003? Yes, yes, And you know, people are talking about that. There's a montage of all these tough questions that Diane Sawyer on was asking her about. She basically blames Brittany for her break up with Justin Timberlake saying you broke his heart. What did you do so I could see where? You know your kids were taken away from you right? And then she has this breakdown, but you can clearly see Better picture as to how that happened. She's in a car at one point with her cousin. And she's trying to see her kids. And she's not allowed to see her kids. And then you've got photographers all over you when you're trying to deal with this deeply personal situation, and I could see anyway, it's it's a really, really well done. I've got the quick 32nd trailer. Everyone here quick. Yeah, sure. Britney was so.
Juicy Scoop with Heather McDonald
What's the deal with Framing Britney Spears on HBO?
"Framing britney. This documentary had everyone above this weekend. I watched it last night. Kind of inbetween. Basically i'll be honest. I started watching it after the halftime show During the superbowl. 'cause i didn't really care at us home with my family and i wasn't like at a party or betting or anything but i'll get super bowl too but first of all Of course we've all heard about free brittany. Which has been this movement that her fans kinda started. There's been you know articles podcast and everybody talking about it. Of course. I follow her along with twenty seven other million people on instagram. And it's been weird. It's been weird watching her this last year. You gotta watch it. It's on lure fx. But it's just really they kind of just go through her whole career with in two hours which could have been. You know an eight part series. I think and we all remember when she came up. It was the mickey mouse club. And then all of a sudden she was really sexy. I remember when Shawn and marlon wayans were hosting the mtv awards and she came out and she did her sexy that goes with the snake and their joke which they came off came up with on the spot which is a great story is from minnie mouse club to the strip club and it was one of the funniest lines ever but now in watching that you're like wow you know this. This girl was suffering We made her suffer because we did jokes like this. We are obsessed with her sexuality. Diane sawyer was you look back at that interview which they featured and really putting her in the hot seat you know. Jay leno Doing jokes about her. We did jokes better. When chelsea lately started we. It was a great time for late night. Television also. Because right around that time the writers guild strike happened and we weren't writers guild so we were the only Late night show that got to stay on air. Every day was britney spears story. And it i. It just seemed like she was going. You know kinda fun crazy like she disliked to gas stations a lot and walk around barefoot and the paparazzi. Were there at the time. Because at that time there was no instagram. And that is how paparazzi and magazines made money is to get the shots of brittany. Brittany was the highest paid celebrity photos and then of course she married Kevin federal line but it was all just email. I just remember being doing chelsea lately and there was talk. We'll her kids taken away. And i remember sitting there going. There's no way she's going to lose custody of her kids. Come on i mean very few mothers do and she's she's going through a little struggling time but it's mostly because these paparazzi's are falling everywhere. Well you guys probably know this then. The dad got a conservative ship. And a lot of people after watching this special. This documentary said where was the mom. Why wouldn't the mom because parents divorced at that time. Try to get the conservative ship. Jamie her father was in and out of jobs Former drug addict. I believe maybe not drug out excessively alchoholic and So why would he be the person in charge. The thing is is. I think he was the first one to go to lawyers and try to get this into the works. And she was in a fifty one fifty at a mental institution when all this paperwork was done and the judge signed it. And now it's been you know fifteen years or something that this has been going on for and right away after this was done she started doing sitcoms again. Of course shortly after that she got her residency and she was making three hundred and fifty thousand dollars a night doing that show and then she left planet hollywood. And she now she's gonna do another huge residency at this new stage that they built her at the mgm and they do this big livestream thing and she comes up and then she just like and walks off talking to talk to reporters. She's not going to say anything. She's not going to do a song and shortly after that. She did it announcement saying my father is sick. And i'm not going to be performing. I'm going to put this residency off and that was really bizarre. People like is he sick. And i really don't know what the now looking back. I'm like i really don't know if he was sick of that was just her way out because now it looks like she in fact knew that the only way to get out of this conservatorship get her freedom back from her father was to stop working and stop making money and i. I would love to see what happened the day she was like you know what what the hell am i doing. Aren't going to sign up for another two or three year contract with them performing every night making all this money which. I don't get to choose how i want to spend the money. I don't get to get in the car and drive. I don't get to make a reservation and stay in hawaii on a whim without checking with twelve other people. Screw this you know. And she goes to her place in malibu during covert or wherever she is. Jesus been doing these weird instagram posts. Where her voice has changed. It's not the same voice. You're seeing these interviews on the documentary. And she's like ok guys. I've heard that a lot of been wondering what i'm going to do for the new year one. I'm gonna try to finish a pilates class to. I'm gonna try to meditate three. I'm going to try to eat better. And for i'm going to try that ice cream diet. And when she's doing it she's like it. Looks like she's definitely reading it whether it's a cue card but somebody else's there and the fact that she said i heard you guys not having reading your comments and one thing in the new year you guys asked me was Of course photos are weird. The makeup soy's like various mudgee. She's always wearing these crop tops. Sometimes she's dancing and you know i just really hope that I hope the mother gets involved. I hope that that the judge is able to watch this. Because i think when the judge granted this he was watching all the crazy news everyday. Let's just like the rest of us and this weird sam. Lufti was after an eye at the time. I was four the conservative ship. I'm like gosh. I don't want other people to take advantage of it this way. You know the data's there the other people are there to make sure that she stays healthy. No weirdos get around her. She's able to have visitation with her boys. But now after all these years it does seem really wrong and I think that this is going to be the catalyst to make whatever judges involved to open his eyes and maybe reconsider This conservative ship for

"20 years ago, you had the wife of a governor going To the public saying, Um, if I could shoot Britney, I probably would, because The assumption being she's a bad influence, like saying this and end so Diane Sawyer says that to her like what do you say about that? Thinking that it's totally appropriate to take a woman who has just threatened her life. And throw those words at her and to her credit Britain he is like, that's horrible. I wanna listen to that. Yes, yes, I think it helps. Yeah, we'll hear the governor's words, and then we'll hear Brittany's reaction to them. Wife of the governor of Maryland, who appeared in an anti violence rally, and we'll listen to what she said. Really? If I had an opportunity TOC Britney Spears, I think I would Oh, that's horrible. She It's a really bad because of the example for kids and how hard it is to be a parent and keep all of this away from your kids. That's really sad that she said that if You know what? So, like heartbreaking can you think anti violence rallies? I want to shoot Britney Spears and also Britney didn't I mean that was the first she'd heard of that? I mean, you can tell when you watch it. It's being presented to her in that moment, and she's not aware of it. So Diane Sawyer is basically like you're such a bad influence. And and she has that tone as if she's defending the woman saying this like, Well, you're a bad influence. So this lady wants to shoot you. Also again, she doesn't take the victim role. She just She reacts the correct way. Which is to say, that's a horrible thing to say. Yes, you know, and actually time and again, you see, And that's another thing about this. This documentary framing Britney Spears. You can watch it on Who loo at your leisure. Um She She time and again is reacting for the most part. Quite appropriately to the insults and the allegations that people are making about her and how she, um, presents to the world, right? Like she, you know their people will Complain about how she dresses too sexy, and she doesn't She doesn't um She doesn't absorb it. She just basically is like I wear clothes that make me feel pretty. I work clothes that make me feel good. You know, she consistently is responding to things and not in like a Combative way in just like she absorbs things that people have no business, saying, um, there people feel into completely entitled to yes, and entitled Doctor body to her as a mother to her. You know her position in life and Bradley, you made a point off the air that I think deserves to be made. Again here on the air, So I feel like as I was watching this the whole time I kept saying to myself They're the none of this with Britney Spears from the media coverage up to and including the conservatorship. I truly believe from my uninformed opinion of somebody who, you know, um Has paid attention to this kind of stuff for the last 10 years or whatever it's been None of this would have happened if she were a man, and I don't say that lightly. Also. I'm not a woman so like, but I do not think society would take away. Um, very, very multi million dollar successful performing artists right to make. Personal decisions over her body and over her career. If she were a man, they would. Absolutely we would not be having this conversation and I just was struck by that as I was watching this because I kept thinking Well, what is she doing? That's any different than Number Ah, host of very immature, very irresponsible. Very self destructive men in a similar position, like, Think about how we're like living through it right now. I mean, think about think about some of the celebrity conservative shell. None of your own not have been before. Never But it's because they look at her and go. Oh, she needs help. Yes, she needs to be protected from herself, even though as you learn in the documentary She is going out night after night performing Learning. Making choices about her art. I mean, it's it's It's beyond the pale and I wish we could continue to talk about it..

I mean, this guy had a full life. He passed away in 2014. So we welcome marks of the program. What was it about Nichols that you decided? Well, here's a guy we need to write a book about Well, as you just said. There's really no one like him. I mean, if you direct movies for 50 years, that means you have a pretty interesting career. And if it's the same time you're directing, uh, everything from the odd couple to Spamalot on stage for 50 years, then you're pretty unique. And if that is all preceded by a really big career as Um, a performer as a comic who changed the face of comedy. Then you know you have a life that I think is really worth all the work it takes to do a book. You know, Mark, I knew Mike. Just a little bit always admired him. But you know, the public persona was here's this guy tremendous success. Very intelligent, dapper, elegant. Married to Diane Sawyer seem to have the perfect life. But what your book makes clear is that behind that facade, he was a man who battled very seriously with depression. What what would bring that on its life?

Um, and I didn't realize how hard one that was on, you know, it's hard to know what brings on depression. Maybe there's a genetic component, but he certainly had a really rough start in life.

Watch when i went to. Abc news on joined with both barbara. Walters and diane sawyer there. And i thought oh this could be great. It'd be you know three women get along. It's not unlike what what tonya harding. Nancy kerrigan both. Diane and barbara were in the same sort of arena of trying to get these big interviews so when i tried to go after them i was told i could not i had to stand down. Really alcon said that on originals with andrew. Gelman podcast. What did you guys. I think when you heard this not surprised that we just had this conversation right before we went live. I feel like everyone during this pandemic is sort of losing it a little bit and i feel like connie everyone's coming for barbara lately in the past year like all of her secrets everything about her. Everyone's ready to spill. But like i don't know. I'm not surprised at all. Feel like this extremely competitive world extremely competitive for women extremely competitive of that time. Robber was already a legend diana. I think you don't hear that that much about it. Seems like that answer. Everybody wants to have over at thanksgiving but those are always the ones career. don't cry. She will never forget that vibe from her. She always just seems like such a lover. We have to remember like we're talking about five years ago. Yeah it any industry as a minority myself. Sometimes you're made to feel like there's only room for one and when somebody is telling you that or making you feel that way you start to believe it so of course barbara and die. It's like oh look at chung coming in here. Seventeen years younger than them. Yeah right so in your mind you probably are thinking. Oh they brought this hotshot into replace us at. I'm not gonna let that happen. And i think i think women do it a lot. I think black people do it a lot. When they're minority a workspace. I think gay people do it. A lot. And i both black and gay so i feel double on on the storm from but sometimes i feel like for me. It's like if i'm the only one here. Let me just open the door for somebody to comment after me. Yeah no i love mentality but you know what it's not even just the stars themselves not just dinosaur. You're not just barbara walters. Sometimes it's the atmosphere that's created around the absolutely actual office like there's some things i mean. The fact that connie was told that. I'm sure she was told that by a producer and maybe that direct order came from something that barbara had said or diane had said in the past but i feel like there's a better check system nowadays i feel like you can check stars a little bit more than you could back been

As soon as we saw together in the magazine they must have been painful to have to cut. Had it down to magazine size well. The piece was originally assigned at six thousand. Words ran at eleven thousand and still not a word practically about his theater career hear about his time at the compass. Players is a founding member of Improv. I mean there's so much still on the table Ash you're very lucky person having worked as the PA.. What did you work on? I worked on Charlie Wilson's war. That was my first job out of college. I was so upset on hangs Julia Roberts. What was that often? Yes Oh right. Of course. It was a big movie so very often. You felt very distant from where the the real real action was taking place but still. I really feel blessed who've been able to be as close as I was. So you mentioned Charlie. Wilson's war my immediate reaction. Shen is Oh my God. That's Mike Nichols. Also the thing that I think people don't even fully appreciate now is just how incredibly accomplished. He was and for so long so if we could just kind of begin with his I think I real fame fame was with Nichols and may but before we go into each of those stop. Just take us through because I think people may be associated him with the graduate and a couple of other major projects. But let's just list some some of them so people have a sense. Well there was the great success of the Nichols. and May Elaine. May and Mike Nichols as a comedy team. which kind of transformed formed Comedy really and Mike as Director. He and Neil Simon joined forces and he really kind of in a way. Reinvented invented Simon. For Neil Simon. You know with barefoot in the park and the odd couple and as of film director his first film was the Richard Richard Burton Elizabeth Taylor. Who's afraid of Virginia? Woolf which frank rich other people believed to be the maybe the best reputation of a of a stage play for film ever the graduate which was second film his second film shocking. JFK transformative you know and Oscar worthy. And then there's all all the stage work Tom Stoppard's the real thing David Raves hurly-burly streamers. Yeah camelot and S- Pamela camelot idle. I mean it's kind of prodian extraordinary range of of gifts that that he I mean. He Directs Spam Lot. I I think two years after doing angels in America for HBO. I mean that's range. I don't WanNa go too much into his early life by. I think it's important to point out that this was a person who arrived here. Didn't speak English. Not as first language goes to the University of Chicago right he meets Elaine. May let's start there. What was it that made that pairing so extraordinary? What did they do? You said that they revolutionized comedy Elaine may was the dangerous genius that entered Mike Nichols life and and changed him she was kind of a combustion engine and he was the steering wheel a little bit. Steve Martin told us the first time. When you listen to those records those bits or you know the sketches? which is he said that the that I heard irony brock kind of modernity to comics situations and things that comedians did not go? Nya such as the cost of funerals was is the time of Jessica Mitford the the American way of death. And you know I mean these are weighty subjects adultery a- adultery right the previous generation of comics from the fifties where people who came from Vaudeville and the Borscht Belt Nichols and may had a theater background around. And you know both the classical repertory but also as Improv actors and by the way they're also both at analysis and brought a level of psychological acuity to comedy that really hasn't been seen before let's just a clip of them from that period some day Arthur. You'll get married and you'll have suit of your own and honey when you do. I only pray that they make us suffer the way you. That's all I pray to mothers. Okay mom thanks for calling you very sarcastic. I'm doing my best now. You call me on on the telephone I me. I'm sorry I'm sorry that bothered you and look I didn't make you feel bad. Are you kidding I feel awful. Oh honey if I could believe that I'd be the happiest mother it's true. What do you think I feel crummy Arthur honey? Why don't you call me sweetheart? That's the one bit. That's kind of in a way close to auto biography at least for Mike that was sort of his mother in a way and and he had a difficult very difficult relationship with her. Are you know after the death of his physician. Father they were really plunged into poverty into serious poverty in in New York. He I used to have to go in the olden days to the Museum of TV and radio to watch these old clips. But now I I'm imagining that. You can see all of this on Youtube. Yeah there's a lot of great stuff and Youtube I encourage people to also look up there The award for total mediocrity that they did at the Emmys when you're in the nineteen fifties so that's just breathtaking. I just actually making fun of their own mirror. You know I mean they're making fun of show business with a successful right away. They were both part of this. Very heavy kind of avant-garde guard group called the compensator in Chicago and the two of them just clicked as their manager. Jack rollins later said there. They were like ham and eggs. They were a local will hit first then they came to New York. He signed them up his clients started booking them at local nightclubs and they were hit right away and then they started going non Jackpot and omnibus and they were hit nationally. So yeah it was. It was really just like that. It was that quick. How does it get from that to? Who's afraid of Virginia? Woolf well well they had a great success Nichols and may on Broadway at the Golden Theatre was an evening with Nichols in May ostensibly directed by Arthur Penn.. You know but not really and Elaine was just sort of tired of doing it and in a way was the comedic version of of the Beatles. Breaking up people were just. I just chop fall in. You know it's tragic. Yes yes yeah. It was kind of a loss in a way They would wind up working together. Other eventually you know as a screenwriter and director but but Mike it kind of put him in in the wilderness for a while He was really at see if we rely on a little bit. When he's got that evening on Broadway with a lame the theater? They were in shared an alley with a theater where her camelot was on stage with Richard Burton and they would kind of hang out after after the show and that's how he kind of got to know him and it was. It's essentially through that meeting Richard in that alley and threw him Liz. They were the ones who hired for Virginia Woolf. When you think about the collaborators he had the people he got to work with you mentioned Arthur panel the you know lately Richard Burton Elizabeth Taylor Dustin in Hoffman Jewels pfeiffer on carnal knowledge? It's just you know on and on Meryl Streep the biggest names and your subtitle is is Mike Nichols as remembered by hundred and fifty of his closest friends. Did He. Frequently form friendships during these professional collaborations was. He's one of those the people that everybody felt like they knew. And we're close to make exactly this actors and and many was writers really kind of fell in love with him. I mean we could have called the book seduced by Mike Nichols you know Natalie. Portman really wept recalling. Her work with Mike Sue now. Yeah and that was much later and the closer yes. Yes but also they did stage work together so they were totally devoted to him. I I mean Tom Stoppard. For example said I think his advice memorial you know he thought to himself who is there to to write for he so he was kind of an Avatar to all of these. She's tremendously gifted complicated. People and the friendships were very deep. And Very Real Maureen Dowd. Your colleagues said that he was a null coward figure with the Jersey Kaczynski past and unlike a lot of other people who had a really horrible childhoods he did not kind of wear it on his sleeve and he we've talked about it and didn't particularly want to spend a lot of time thinking about it and I I mean I think this is kind of the key to his career. Longevity Eddie is that he was. Somebody really always wanted to be living in the moment. And kind of looking forward to the next project even up until the end of his life when he had several things that were in progress including masterclass terrence. McNally's play that he was gonNA adapt for. HBO With Meryl Streep. Yeah I mean in a way. Our title is taken from a a model of Mike's life isn't everything but it's kind of a misnomer because it was everything to him. You know in a way I mean he could be difficult to and and some of the people in the booker occur quite open about yes. That Emma Thompson is one right exactly Thompson who who adored him. You know said we're not talking about some saint here so you know and in fact Mike toward the end of his life felt that he had been cruel to people and had betrayed others. You know but he did develop a music also about someone who sort of as much of a genius as he was you know he was also complicated difficult cat and felt like there were people to apologize to. Some people presumably wouldn't talk to you Elaine. May of course wouldn't what about Diane Sawyer and were there other people who you pursued and just said you know what no now. We did approach. Diane we wouldn't have done this actually without her been addiction you know and she gave us the same response that initially initially Sam Beckett gave to digital bear you know which is. I'm not going to stop you but I'm also not going to help you all that much. But when push came to shove and we needed the people such as Meryl Streep she was helpful behind the scenes and Elaine. She did. Give us a blurb. Although we didn't use it and the blurb facetiously officiously said well I I would tell you all I know. But they're going to pay me millions of dollars to write my memoirs something. You'll never do you know. She meant it as kind of a joke before before we go one final question what do you each of you. Thank was Nicholas's greatest work and then also so perhaps a personal favourite may be less known or just something new especially leaden. And why. Let's start with you ash. I would say probably the graduate. It's not the most original choice but I just have seen the movie so many times and I think that it it just has held up so much better than a lot of other youth movies of the time that it was sort of lumped in with that plus the the comedy albums is sort of where my original enthusiasm for him started. But you know I I think catch twenty. Two for example is a movie that has not really gotten. It's do. I think it's actually kind of a brilliant movie that was overshadowed by Mash at the time though it is I see no reason why the existence of Mash prevent people from enjoying it today not an easy novel to adapt to know and but I think him and Buck Henry and we did a credible job adapting it. Sam will I mean. It's so hard to choose. My mother would choose working girl in or Silkwood you know an but are you. Seeing your mother would be wrong. My mother never wrong But for me it's you know the stage work is kind and of extraordinary. I mean the Philip Seymour. Hoffman death of a salesman at the end of life using that was really just is an extraordinary unearth accomplishment. Really it brought him Full Circle Because that streetcar with the two original productions that changed his life really all right. I'm hoping that this interview. If nothing else forces everyone to go to youtube everyone to go and stream every single thing that Mike Nichols did that was available. He was such an incredible credible talent ash. Carter Sam cash. Thank you so much for being here. Thank you so much thank your new book is called. Life isn't everything. Mike Nichols as remembered by one hundred

Former Trump Aide to Help Run CNN's 2020 Election Coverage
"News last week. CNN hired Sarah is Gir Florus as as an editor of it's twenty twenty campaign coverage Florus, we learned cut a pretty conventional path Republican politics she worked with the Romney and Ted Cruz campaigns. She was nominally a never Trump person while working for curly vereen in two thousand sixteen and then she became a spokesman for Jeff Sessions a job which required her to go to the Oval Office and profess her feel t to Trump as the Washington Post reported after joining CNN one of the staffers told Maxwell Tanny of the Daily Beast. It's extremely demoralizing for everyone here, this is where we open our drawer. And plus the now familiar list of. Politicos who became journalist, Tim russert? Right. Diane Sawyer, George Stephanopoulos, and may be most comparably in this case Pete Williams who was a Pentagon spokesman. And Cheney aide is now a Justice department reporter for NBC couple of issues the came out of this number one. Is there an amount of time that needs to elapse before someone goes from politico to journalist, right? Anybody thinks no one can do this. Right. But there were people who said it's too soon. You know, this is to direct what if you just waited a little while. I guess I don't go to think tank on what she was going to do. In the meantime, yeah, I did let this up. So in George Stephanopoulos case Bill Clinton wins reelection of nineteen ninety six in a month later, George Stephanopoulos, working for ABC news. So you know, and it's weird. Right. Because if you're hiring somebody for politics, they're at their maximum value the moment, they leave politics. Sure. So I don't quite get the argument that. There should be some mandatory waiting period. She college basketball for year before they. It's been there. Mandatory year at Duke. Yeah. It's it is an interesting argument. And I think that you know, it's easy to look at these sort of case by case, and certainly other cases where you can you can fairly easily justify it. Right. I mean, George Stephanopoulos was I mean, I was what in college at the time. I mean, I feel like bit. But I even remember then being such sort of an odd ball situation where he was way more in demand than it than I could really comprehend didn't really understand the like the allure of him. And even when he was you know, when he turned up on good Morning, America. Whatever I'm still just sort of like what is George Stephanopoulos, contributing to this. But you know, it's he's had a healthy career. And and sort of hard to argue with success. Then you kind of get to the the, you know, the rest of the list. I mean, they're certainly people that I don't think you mentioned Chris Matthews, but but their put and and Russ in this. In the similar in kind of similar category. Where?
