In probably one of the most painfully embarrassing television interviews I have ever seen, KLA-TV Channel 5 entertainment reporter, Sam Rubin, made a mistake that will follow him for years to come.
During a live television interview, Rubin asked Samuel L. Jackson about his Superbowl commercial. The problem is that Jackson didn’t have a Superbowl commercial; Laurence Fishburne did. Surely, Rubin was hoping that Jackson would just laugh off his error and keep the interview moving, but that definitely didn’t happen. Samuel L. Jackson went in on Rubin, and it wasn’t pretty.
BMWK – Watch the video and tell us what you think. Should Jackson have been more forgiving or did this entertainment reporter get exactly what he deserved?
That was hilarious! Heck, he’s Samuel L Jackson, widely and wildly respected as an actor by blacks and whites. And let’s face it–everybody wants to see SLJ go in on someone. He just has that scary persona (because of the kick a– characters he plays! Kinda like seeing someone tick off Robert De Niro. It’s like dude what were you thinking?? LOL People will just be bummed that SLJ didn’t use his trademark ‘MF’ on that guy. LOL
I agree, when I saw this the other day, it cracked me up!! And how do these white reporters keep getting black actors mixed up, I bet they wouldn’t get Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino mixed up or some other white actor or actress or they would really get it!!
