Jul 26 2007Holly Hunter gets interviewed by an idiot

This is a video clip of Holly Hunter getting interviewed by Merry Miller from ABC News. I have no idea who this Merry chick is, but I could go to the DMV and randomly pick out twenty people more qualified to be on TV. Watch the entire thing, and keep in mind this is ABC doing the interview. ABC. That's very important, because it'll explain why one of the producers suddenly lets out a giant scream in the background. You could put a cat on a desk and it would conduct a better interview than this. The cat wouldn't even have to be alive.

I'm surprised she's even qualified to breathe, much less be on TV. Who'd she do to get this gig?

Paris Hilton sounds like an intellectual compared to that broad.

first, fuck usa

she was horrible no doubt but she's obviously pretty new to the whole interview process - which is why they stuck her on that late night slot. cut her some slack...she has boobies

she said NBC at the end.

are you serious?

Either it's nepotism or she spent some quality time on a casting couch for her job. That's only reason I can think of because it certainly wasn't for her I.Q.

oooh i would hate to be her right now...

so fired.

this didn't actually air, did it?

Wow. I wonder if she is an intern because it reminded me of some of the interviews I hear on the radio at our local college station. Either that or she is the daughter of someone big at ABC who wants to be a celebrity reporter. Or it was her first day on the job. Or she's really a behind the scenes person and was pulled into this at the last minute for some reason. It's pretty sad though. Holly handled it with grace and aplomb though, as always.

I swear she said to check "us" out at "NBC.COM... " This is an ABC show. What a dumbass.... giving blondes everywhere a good name.

WTC!!! Holly Hunter's still alive????!!!???

haha she's so fired.

You can tell she's a professional the way she swings her chair back and forth. Only the pros like Dan Rather and Brian WIlliams play with their chairs like that.

She also said that the show premiered on JUNE 23rd instead of July 23rd....

She did say NBC at the end and not ABC. That interview made Lohan look like a mensa member.

worst interview ever.

Ouch, that was painful to watch. And what the hell is with Holly Hunter's mouth...is it full of cotton balls or something? You just know that anchor woman, or what ever the hell she is, was crying her ass off after they said cut. I guessing Merry won't be so Merry after she gets canned. HUMILIATION.

Well, guess I'll have to wait til I get home to watch this one too, you know last night I went to watch the homer simpson / schneider one, and they had already taken the rob schneider one down, bastards...
I HAVE TO MISS EVERYTHING!!!!!

I can't see the stupid video from work. This place sucks!!

Was it funny FRIST?

God how I hate that whiney white girl voice... she's ugly too.

Oooooo, you're gone. I think the best thing about her is the way she started a sentence, then stopped it, then said the first bit again and got back into the sync. It was really talented and artistic.

Anyway she's sacked.
LOL @ 14.

That played like an SNL skit. Damn.

Bite Me!, the Homer one was funny, but I can't see this stuff at work, even though we have dsl, they must have something installed wrong, hey, you are an IT guy, will you fix my computer?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!

wow. Retarded is too generous to describe that interviewer.

hey, who's stealing my name?

holly hunter's mouth is scary.

Hey, does everyone else have to type in all their email info and crap whenever you comment???

That was massively, awe-inspiringly awesome.

I love it when an interviewer goes, "Suresuresure" - you know that's a lead-in to a great question. Damn.

@24 FRIST, I Tivo'd the entire Jay Leno show. Rob was pretty funny as Lindsay Lohan. You can come over and watch if you want. I make some pop corn and open a couple of beers

It's nice see ABC giving jobs to the autistic.

LOL... she said "cut".

♀♀♀♀ I like how zhe talkz♀♀♀♀

@33 I like how you talk!!!!

I am not going to sit here while you people insinuate that people get jobs in Hollywood just because of who they are related to!
It is 100% merit based.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to work on the directorial debut I've put so much hard work and dedication to getting off the ground.
Sincerely,
Johnny Spielberg

good gravy!

OMG who did she have to suck, fuck, eat shit, wash cars for the get that interview? She reminds me of the dumb chick on that show REBA. GAWD, she's ugly and stupid and has not sense of timing. How could they allow this?

That was one of the most painful things I've ever seen in my life! I could hardly get through the entire interview....

ouuuuuch!!!!!! It's painful! so painful!

OMG, dumb.

@29 she was actually saying "true true true"

The way she was reading off the teleprompter was excruciatingly pathetic. I can't believe she said NBC.

Did anyone else hear the cry of anguish in the background?

Your ah... ah... ahhh... um... how do I say it... ahhh.... IDIOT.

That was cringeworthy

That was so lame. Why post crap like this.

Zhez zo cute in that movie"Raizing Arizona"
I love her♥

34/BiteMe===whatever do U mean?♦♣

Wow, if that chick isn't banging someone high up at ABC I don't know wtf is going on.

No way should she be on network tv.

Wow. Personally, I feel she did a terrific job, ah... she should replace Katie Couric.

i love when she squints to read the teleprompter at the end...

Hold on um....I'm going to comment. ARe you ready? Here it comes.....I bet I'm really good in bed. I think. I'm sooo glad that I gave that guy a blow job and a hand job because this job has really paid off for me! Look for my tits soon on the playboy channel or that topless newstory show!!!

#33 Of course you do. Color me surprised, I thought you changed your name and got a summer job, you fucking moron.

how does she ever make it through the day without dying from sheer stupidity???

She also said June 23rd instead of the real date July 23rd. Total fuck up.

That was fucking amazing, I think that the scream in the end polished it off nicely. She's gonna be the next Anderson Cooper!

Did you notice she said June 23rd and it was actually airing July 23rd? Who is this girl? Was this a joke?

Oops.. I should have read the rest of the comments. I'm just as bad as she is!

@45 I mean you have a pretty mouth

Wow. That was honestly the most awkward feeling I've ever felt. Even more awkward than when I was pansed slow dancing in the seventh grade...and god knows, I had nothing to be proud of back then.

56/ what ever that meanz...anyhow ..I do...juzt filthy....♥

50/ Juzifiable...zo zuck a dick...bitch...zame hatin bitch..☻

http://celebnews.emrasonline.com/

this link posts the exact same story. in the same words. what's up with that?

Merry Miller should be fired at once. She is unprofessional, untrained, and unattractive. She has to be someones relative. Any clerk at a fast food restaurant would have been a better interviewer.

Holly on the other hand was perfect and is a true hollywood star.

I think she actually said "truetruetrue", didn't she?

Anyway, for me the BEST part was when she ~*-_obliterated_-*~ Hunter with: "So what drew you from the big screen to the TV, because we hear that you don't watch TV!" laughing openly in her face while saying so. The retard probably just wanted to chaff her a bit, but you can see Hunter was taken by surprise and for a while, didn't know what to say. Hilarious! :o)

The cute "yourewelcome" was just a bonus for me. :)

I'd say this bitch got into her job wearing knee-pads, but she looks like she probably gives worse blowjobs than Paris. She must be anally amenable, or something.

#62 I agree - I don't think she could stop smirking long enough to give decent oral.

"true true true"

#30 Bite Me!. I'll be over after work, DON'T forget the beers!!!!! Oh, and I emailed you earlier.

#59 Yeah, you're right! WTC is up with that??!!!???

LOL ..god..

she said TNT not NBC, she must have been nervous as hell. can't even read the teleprompter

@65 FRIST, The beers are ice cold, Jay is in Hi def and the suround sound is crankin.

I saw the e-mail. I figured you were gone for the day. I will reply in a minute

She probably has narcolepsy when she gives oral.

#11 Please tell that to the militant Ron Mexico. He says he feels inexplicably personally responsible for some dickwad he doesn't even know that electrocuted some dogs. This is JUST BECAUSE they might have similar levels of melanin in their epidermis. That doesn't make me smarter than Ron Mexico because I'm blonde, I'm just simply smarter than Ron Mexico. We may have similar ideas of how much fun it is to be in a play-fight, but I am more obnoxious. Please tell him that.

Obviously there were some teleprompter issues; the program scrolled too quickly or the prompter operator closed the text file by accident, but seriously, Merry, you should know your material a little better. Who the *fuck* goes live and repeats her first sentence twice?

I have personally seen students reading paper cards for a closed-circut campus newscast from afar for the first time do a better job than that. I was one of them, too.

"well we want you back in New York". lolz.

#72 I think you'll agree that anyone who is so articulate deserves to be allowed to speak for ALL of New York.

...mesmorizing...that wasn't from saturday night live was it?

hahah this made me lafff!!

Ok.. Yes. The Woman is a horrible interviewer. *Like, Oh my Gawd*

However, I could barely get through the interview mostly because of Holly Hunter.

She is oddly uninspiriing and bland in her responses. She tries too hard.

Now I feel less competent at my job.

The final video is up at abcnews.go.com:

http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=3386191

This time she actually says "abcnews.com" at the end, but the rest is still just as awkward.

OMG, I finally got to see it. Wow. You know, uh....WAY TO MAKE YOUR GUEST FEEL COMFORTABLE, YA IDIOT!!! Stumbling through the words, taking long awkward pauses, DAMN. Even I could have done a better job after my vodka and xanax cocktails, than this weirdo!!!

Holy Crap! I've seen elementary school children with more poise in front of the camera. That girl was absolutely HORRID!!
How, in God's name, did she EVER get on television.

Poor Holly Hunter-must have felt like she was talking to blow up doll with a stuttering problem.
Hunter is brilliant, classy and gorgeous and deserves better treatment than that.

OMG!!!

That woman is an idiot, can she read? Maybe the prompter was down, and the que card guy is to blame?


In her defense, Holly is a great actress, but generally sucks at interviews

#77, I hope you mean INcompetent, and if so, I do too! heheheh

#81, I just like the way she can't pronounce the word "academy"

Wow... NBC? Really? Sounds like somebody's lookin' for a new job.

Here is the edited version on the ABC website - which, sadly, means this was a real interview.

..... so fired!

#31 - you are ass-backwards. Einstein had autism. A friend of mine's son had severe autism as a child and is now an astrophysicist at the University of Denton. This woman has got to have some kind of stress disorder, plus she is stupid.

And Lindsay Lohan's Mom thinks SHE has some damage control to do!

This looks like the same water-headed hosebag: http://www.newyorkbusiness-risingstars.com/profile.php?pageNum_profile_detail=23&year=22&pid=10025

#87 I may have had Asperger's like Newton but this bitch is just plain stupid. And E=mc2 to you, too.

Wasn't anyone else annoyed by how she pronounced the "WH" in "WHat's the buzz?"???

You know, Holly Hunter isn't winning any eloquence awards either. I'll concede that the questions weren't all that enchanting. But c'mon! "No, I leave that to other people" or "It's silly as hell and unbelievably smart." Platitudes, woman. These are only platitudes! It's like those idiotic pull quotes from 5th grade reading level newspapers for movie previews.

This is the same woman who starred in Raising Arizona and The Piano!

#92 I agree with you. I saw the pilot, and "Three Stooges" was not an image that sprang to mind - for a minute I thought she was talking about a completely different project. If it's supposed to be silly as hell they missed by a fucking mile. I bet she hates giving interviews and this eye-wobbling airhead may be why.

wow, what a fucking retard. no seriously.

i wanna kick her in the mouth

Rofl! Someone needs to Trump this chicks ass. Its a fucking interview not an audition. Even Holly was like wtf?

"Welcome back to HHWat's the buzz."

True true true, a penis and a shoe,
fucked me in my ass and that's all I knew
I sucked my boss's cock and got hired for the show
I'm nothing more than a shlong loving hoe.
My vag is all loose and hangy
me like bangy bangy!
But I sucked like shit and im gonna get fired
so time to open my poonanny again and get hired!

wtf?? "chur, chur, chur"

I cannot stand the way kelli types, let me say that first. It screams of 13 year old girl and poor education.

I love reading everyone elses comments as they're always so interesting. But my eyes force me to skip over kelli's "comments". I know I'm sounding extremely rude here, but PLEASE PLEASE learn to type like a human and stop raping the English language. My brain can't handle such bad "tieping skillz" as her generation would probably put it.

Back on topic. It seems like the prompter was part of the problem, but she should've learned her material better, and been given some real responses, rather than the generic "well we love ". I partially blame her, but I feel sorry for the fact that when she finally leaves the toilet from throwing up, she'll be met by.. well, I'd say a producer or something, but it'll probably just be another intern, and told that she's fired.

#87 - It is believed Einstein actually had Asperger's Syndrome (a high functioning form of Autism), a condition my brother actually suffers from - and basically my whole extended family, to some extent.

It amuses me that he won't allow me to say "Einstein had", but rather tells me to say "Einstein MAY HAVE had" Asperger's, as there is no real way of proving it.

But that's Aspies for you!

It also makes me happy to hear that your friends son was able to overcome his condition and make it so far in life. I only hope my brother can pick himself up and drag himself away from the computer games, because he's actually very bright.

Definitely some idiot bigwig's idiot spawn. GAWD. I was embarrassed for both of them.

She did say NBC. "I really love the character. You know, I really love the character. Holly, I really love the show. Well, we want you in NY, even though we really love your show and it isn't filmed there.
Dumbass.

jesus christ. wtf is abc thinking? this fucking moron is interviewing real actors...award winning people....this is who they should have had interview paris once she left jail...they seem to have the same IQ.

and i love holly hunter's confused expressions throughout it...thinking how and why is this dumb bitch interviewing me?

Yeah, that made me squirm, it was so uncomfortable to watch.
She looked like she was near-sighted and was having trouble reading the teleprompter.. Or, maybe she just has trouble reading, period.
Soooo awkward.

Actually, someone was eating me out under the table, which was totally distracting. Sorry about that.

The woman is 37. Read article below:

http://www.newyorkbusiness-risingstars.com/profile.php?pageNum_profile_detail=23&year=22&pid=10025

Granted, I am extremely baffled by the article above after watching that video.

Raeanne
Clearly you have no idea what autism is, although you should be up to speed with the definition of a moron.

HAHahah @ 104

@BiteME: FRIST and I love you

She fuckign called it NBCNews.com! She is on ABC! Where did they get this girl? Is she the cousin of one of the producers?

oh dear...someone doesn't have a job anymore!
also...why was holly hunter talking out of the side of her mouth?she should be slapped everytime she does that.i mean she's vaguely good looking in an old kind of way,but with the twisty mouth?LESBIAN

This chick would be way better of with about 7.5 inches of tube steak in her mouth...

Stupid is as stupid does

This "interview" just goes to show what circus clowns media people are! Put a ding-dong blond with absolutely NO talent in front of a camera with a "producer" trying his best to pull her puppet strings and this train wreck is the result. Merry can't even read off a teleprompter!!! Give me the job--at least I will promote the right show on the right network--hey Merry, you're on ABC NOT NBC!!

I'm fairly certain this has to be an intern doing a resume tape. Which would make Holly Hunter the Humanitarian of the Year for taking the time to be this girls guinea pig for an interview. STRAIGHT HILARIOUS!

ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS!!!!!! That woman couldn't even wing it until the teleprompter got his act together. People, it's called a brain. Use it.

omg she said NBC..are you kidding me?

"i can't say no to this woman, i can't have anyone else do her but me." lol, that's a quality quotes right there.

merry miller, whoever you are, you almost drove me to suicide.

ps - is it just me, or is she actually saying, "WATTS the buzz" ??

What a moron. This explains everything. She is/was the "Senior Programming Manager" at the Learning Annex: http://www.newyorkbusiness-risingstars.com/profile.php?pageNum_profile_detail=23&year=22&pid=10025
But she does look good for someone who's almost 40.


watching karl rove skinny dipping would be easier to watch than this dimwit.
next thing you know some network will put someone from the today show in the anchor's chair. naah, that would never happen

it'd be totally fine if they just renamed the episode, "what the fuck?"

hahahahhahahahhahahaha
the best part is when the interviewer stops in mid sentence to say "you're welcome!"

seriously, how did that blonde bimbo get hired?! also, holly hunter's voice is extremely annoying. for that reason alone, i will not watch her show.

"I love you, Edwina."
"Turn to your right."


I want to see pics of krazihottkelli.

I can't believe this. She teaches classes? She can't even read. For someone who is supposed to be professional then she should've learned her material and remembered who the hell she WAS working for. That was incredibly bombed and it's amazing that they had her repeat what she should have said in the live interview to post the edited video on abcnews.com because halfway through the interview I was sure that she was already contemplating jumping into oncoming new york city traffic.

http://www.newyorkbusiness-risingstars.com/profile.php?pageNum_profile_detail=23&year=22&pid=10025 This should be deleted. She's obviously not as educated or talented as these people think.

Holy shit, that was on network? For realz?!? My friends and I used to create and produce better video shorts when we were in college... and drunk half of the time.

I've seen more professional episodes of Talk Soup and Good Eats produced with a buget of $0. I've seen more professionally done advertisements by local used car dealers!!!

How the fuck do you fuck up a pre-taped Hollywood interview segment that badly?

[Head explodes]

Omg i don't think i have ever felt more embaressed for another person. that was just the worst interview i've ever seen. That must have been her first time. Well were not going to see her again because she probably killed herself by now.

How OLD is she again? 14? 16?

Why in the fuck would this broad be on television, do they not interview these people before hiring them? I caught the dumbass squinting towards the end to read the fucking teleprompter, what an idiot!!

She said she was on NBC at the end. It cuts to an ABC break animation.

This woman is even worse at interviews than RICK EMERSON is!

What do you expect? This isn't a news program or a news station. It's some idiot twit "entertainment reporter" reporting on entertainment, interviewing some hollywood person with the usually ass-kissing flair that such people have for an entertainment show. She's not Anderson Cooper for fuck's sake.

I think it's brilliant marketing. Thanks to The Superficial, thousands of people now know about the show.

The scream at the end was the best part of the interview!!!

You fucking morons are deadly with Google. Just because you type in someone's name and a blonde that happens to have the same last name pops up DOESN'T mean they are the same person! Did you guys notice that the woman at the Learning Annex is 37?! And also looks nothing like the "Interviewer"? Christ almighty. I'm asian, and I can tell that all white blondes don't all look alike.

Anyhoo, Merry probably said "NBC" because at that moment, she was wondering in her pea brain "Hmmmm, I wonder if I can suck off anyone at NBC for a job?

She's sleeping with Edwards. That's why she's in the job and will stay there.

She might be fired from ABC, but she will get hired at CNN. Thats where all the good talent goes. Well Done Marry.

Who watches ABC anyways! :-P

I have to give Holly some major credit for just getting through that interview. She must've been DYING for that one to be over with! And how many times did that reporter have to kiss-ass and tell Holly what a great job she's doin? Nobody cares what you think idiot!

I wouldn't worry about Merry Miller. She will land back on her knees in no time.

Thanks to Rick Emerson, I have heard the best interview ever. The scream at the end is one of the greatest things to ever come out of a television set.

Noooooooooooooooooo!

I'm laughing more at the producer than the interviewer. The producer must have been screaming into her earpiece most of the time. She must have been extremely flustered and nervous, no one can be that stupid, can they?

Awesome. Thanks again.

How fucking dumb do you have to be to be instructed how to have a conversation at each step of the conversation?

"TALK!"
"ASK A QUESTION!"

What a fucking retarded cunt.

Producer screams of agony from backstage = teh win

One of the best clips ever.

Holly Hunter must marry me.

that was ATROCIOUS. good lord.

Merry Miller is obviously some ABC exec's low functioning daughter, or more likely slept with someone in order to be put on camera. I felt like I was watching Cindy Brady interviewing a grownup (poorly). Betcha the guys at NBC are loving her right now for giving them a plug.

*98* CHICKENZHIT: Zo U have ballz to comfront me☺
but U don't have ballz to leave♦
your name..U chickenzhit♣♣♣


who the hell azk your ztupidazz anything...bitch.fuckoff☻☻☻

Did Merry Miller used to work for the Bush Crime Family?

She'll be on the white house press corp by Hillary's second term.

♥147♥ Many huggz and kizzezz to U and Hilary & Chelzie♥♥♥
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxooooooooooooooooooo♥

Oh my Jesus Christ that was painful to watch. I was waiting for the scream in the bg, which was at the very end and not that loud, and almost died from internal hemmoraging from how bad that was.

I use to work w/ her at the Learning Annex. This doesn't surprise me at all, she's an idiot, just like the people who use to run Learning Annex. And her getting that gig was a complete hook up, she either lied, cheated or screwed someone to get it cause she does dirt like that!

:O :O :O :O

.......

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't stop watching this train wreck. I have tears in my eyes. For those of you that couldn't bring yourself to watching it again - she says June instead of July - TNT instead of ABC and that scream at the end was the producer slamming his own hand in the desk drawer because he just made some executive's hot little sex toy look stupid and now he's gonna get his ass chewed out.

http://www.newyorkbusiness-risingstars.com/profile.php?pageNum_profile_detail=23&year=22&pid=10025

yeah im sure she had everything to do with turning 3 million dollars into 100 million dollars.

I don't think that was a scream at the end. I think it was riotous laughter.

The reason I think this? During the "Oh, that's great"/"You're welcome!" exchange, you can hear very faintly a man's voice - I believe it's the same man who told her to keep going after she repeated her first line - say what sounds distinctly like, "Oh, that was hilarious."

that was sooo horrible.

http://www.myspace.com/merrymiller

She knows Diddy, yo!

/sarcasm

This girl is a freakin retard. Actually, that's not fair to retards, she's several notches lower. And the way she gushes about everything, someone just shoot her and put her out of her useless misery.

the producer in the background is literally yelling "It's horrible!" in the background.If you turn up your volume and listen carefully, you can hear it.

I agree completely with that producer.

and I repeated "in the background" twice.

smooth.

stupid broad!
