times famous people lost their cool or at least appeared to freak out in front of the world we'll include incidents that weren't broadcast live or had a delay as long as a live audience was present

gets confused for lawrence fishburn ktla morningshow ktla anchor sam rubin welcomed actor samuel l jackson via satellite for what could have been a normal interview everything seemed to be going smoothly until the newscaster asked jackson about his recent super bowl commercial working for marvel the super bowl commercial did you get a lot of reaction to that super bowl commercial what super bowl commercial since that particular ad actually starred lauren's fish burn jackson immediately started dunking on the anchor for his egregious i gaffer you know the entertainment report for this vlog you don't know the difference between i know although the movie star had been brought on to talk about his film robocop this error made him focus more on dishing out a verbal beatdown even after they started speaking about the movie the actor took an opportunity to pivot back to the mistake the thoroughly embarrassed reuben will probably never forget this mix-up i won't make the same research make sure you don't confuse them with those other white actors this is a well-deserved spanking thank you for it number 19 floyd mayweather fights back sports center in 2009 boxer floyd mayweather was undefeated and ready to talk about his career for a sports center interview unfortunately host brian kenny struck a nerve with mayweather right away the boxer took umbrage with kenny's assertion that he was a former number one the former number one pound-for-pound fighter in the world floyd mayweather floyd welcome back we've missed you floyd hey how you doing i'm not the former number one pound for pound fighter i'm i'm just saying i'm the best fighter in the sport of boxing but that was only round one of this painful interview throughout the conversation mayweather ducked the many of the presenter's most biting questions so they didn't want you to face pacquiao right away i'm not i'm not ducking the dodger nobody you know it you know what it is no what is it it's bob aaron i i got a list but whenever it happened it happens and when he wasn't directly answering the boxer was ready to verbally spar with kenny at every point the anchor's attempts to take control of the interview only led to more chaos by the time their conversation ended it's clear that mayweather had dominated another tense matchup once again we're talking to brian kenny a man of many traits a master of nothing number 18 ben affleck debates bill maher and sam harris real time with bill maher during an episode of real time with bill maher the host and author sam harris got to talking about islam when they started making critical statements and broad generalizations about the muslim religion an angry ben affleck stepped in the people who would actually believe in an act that you murder somebody if they have islam is not the majority of muslims at all the famous actor kept challenging the host and the author not to see everyone who believes in the faith in one negative way as affleck threw out statistics and made impassioned arguments he only grew angrier and yet somehow we're exempt from these things because they're not really a reflection of what we believe in we did by accident although he tried to stay silent he jumped back in whenever another broad characterization of the faith was made ultimately this moment went viral for the performer's forceful presence in a tense debate question is the degree to which you're willing to say because i've witnessed this behavior which we all object to on the part of these people i'm willing to flatly condemn those of you i don't know number 17 andy kaufman gets slapped late night with david letterman so it's come to this has it andy you you want jerry to apologize now is this the way would that be an equitable thing as far as you're concerned i think so comedian andy kaufman's appearance on late night with david letterman was the stuff of legend prior to the interview kaufman lost a match so badly against professional wrestler jerry lawler that the funny man had to wear a neck brace letterman thought it would be a great idea to bring them both together on his show however they both got heated during the course of this joint interview i could have sued you i could have sued you for everything you're worth and i didn't because that's i'm not that kind of a guy yeah you know what uh what kind of a guy are you after their conversation reached a fever pitch lawler struck kaufman the comedian later stormed back on set to shout many profanities and toss at least one drink it was eventually revealed that the whole confrontation was staged however this freakout still represented one of the most talked about moments in talk show history i am sorry i am sorry to use those words on television i apologize to him i'm sorry i'm sorry number 16 sinead o'connor rips the pope's picture saturday night live sinead o'connor appeared on saturday night live for the second time in 1992. during this appearance she performed an acapella version of bob marley's song war o'connor finished the stirring cover in shocking fashion by ripping up a picture of pope john paul ii she also made a comment that referenced the catholic church's scandals fight the real enemy after o'connor made this controversial statement she faced a ton of backlash snl also banned her from returning to the show at all and permanently discredited and abandoned decades after the incident interviews with the singer confirmed that she had no regrets about ripping up that photo number 15. kanye's rant on ellen the ellen degeneres show over the years kanye west has become a celebrity who is often outspoken at the most unexpected times his interview with ellen degeneres was yet another example of him talking without a filter after answering a few questions and letting some colorful language slip wes decided to let everyone in on all the things on his mind we have to fight we're creating we're creating new shapes in the world every day and you know we're under attack constantly by conventional opinion he covered a wide range of topics from his career aspirations to his spirituality kanye's detour goes on for so long that parts of it didn't even make it to the episode people never write kanye's pissing everybody all kinds making so much they try to position it through the media in some way while degeneres managed to take back control the show was completely in his hands for a while yay never returned to the talk show after this appearance i didn't take it as a joke it ain't no joke as rock kim said it ain't no joke are you still at the mic smoke number 14 mike tyson drops a few f-bombs upn 9 wwor you take into the ring a lot of rage does that work for you or does it work against you at times you know who cares we're in a fight anyway what what what does it matter note to journalists everywhere be careful how you phrase your questions to mike tyson in an interview the heavyweight champ got a reputation as a brilliant fighter who has little patience for anyone who upsets him when presenter russ salzburg asked about tyson's upcoming bout in one infamous interview the boxer immediately dropped a word that the censors would not like although the interviewer tried to reign in the fighter's language and focus on the upcoming event it was already far too late mike why do you have to talk like that well i'm talking to you the way i want to talk to you do you have a problem turn off your station tyson continued to curse until salzburg moved to end the discussion unfortunately for the station the boxer got a few last words in as the segment ended you know what i think we'll end the discussion right now then we could you got it have a nice fight mike number 13. asia davies vs cardi b love and hip hop new york when did you start to have a problem with her if you were supporting her music yeah when you had a problem with me even before the lovin hip-hop new york reunion show aired tensions were simmering between rapper cardi b and her cast member asia davies their conflict finally boiled over in front of a live studio audience without warning cardi b launched a shoe at davies the stage quickly erupted into chaos right after the footwear was launched we're gonna put a little more distance between you guys so we can have this conversation after a few tense moments the crew put distance between the women but their conversation didn't get much better when davies hit another nerve cardi b tried to lunge towards her rival again before security stepped in putting these two in the same room was a recipe for disaster and infamous tv i had a reason i had a reason what was the reason number 12 vince mcmahon vs bob costas on the record with bob costas take a look at the tape when you play it back how many times did bob costas interrupt vince mcmahon before he let him answer the question just to try to keep you on point go ahead wwe chairman vince mcmahon co-created the alternative football league called the xfl its first and only season was marred in controversy poor ratings and criticism from other sports broadcasters like bob costas costas welcomed mcmahon onto his on the record show to address his plan for the league by the end of the interview it had devolved into a series of vague threats from the wrestling boss you want to let me finish your four second pal i'm asking you the question then coach shut your mouth and let me answer the question all right i'll be happy to answer he leaned forward and pointed in the host's face for extra emphasis not only did the outburst hurt the ceo's reputation it signaled the end of the xfl it's hbo it's live there's no commercials and it's like 27 28 minutes most of which is unremitting tension number 11 nicki minaj confronts miley cyrus 30-second video music awards nicki minaj accepted the award for best hip-hop video at the 2015 vmas instead of ending her speech with a thank you she took aim at the show's host miley cyrus minaj claimed that the singer had disrespected her in an interview after winning a moon man the rapper wasn't afraid to let the host know how she felt back to this [ __ ] that had a lot to say about me the other day in the press miley what's good her stern change of tone sucked all the air out of the room instead of escalating the situation cyrus tried to downplay the incident and keep the show rolling while it's debatable if that was the most shocking part of the vmas that year it was definitely the point where minaj made her feelings known so here are the nominees still vying for your vote congratulations nikki number 10 crispin glover almost kicks dave late night with david letterman oh no no all right then we'll just we'll just drop that and go on to something else all right crispin glover's unique and idiosyncratic behavior has led to him being at the center of several shocking incidents one appearance on late night with david letterman demonstrated his ability to shock and induce laughter in equal parts glover took the stage in a wig and costume that may or may not have been a complete joke letterman played along with the actor's strange performance as best he could i don't have these you seem to be distraught they don't you seem to be trying to make me sound a lot weird and i'm just i'm strong however the host lost his patience after glover unleashed his best high kick after cutting the segment short letterman returned without the actor sitting next to him the host made it known that he wasn't a fan of how the interview went down i would've loved to chatted more with crisp and glover but i just understand he had a cab to catch and well number nine jim everett gets his revenge talk two quarterback jim everett appeared as a guest on jim rome's talk to sports program the host made a joke by calling the athlete chris referring to the tennis player chris everett check that chris everett good to have you on the show you know what you know you've been calling me that for about the last five years about two years actually chris the guest leaned in and warned rome about calling him the name again however the presenter decided to push his luck and make the lame joke one more time but if you call me chris everett to my face one more time i already did it twice you better call it one more time we better take a station break everett promptly leapt at his interviewer and knocked him to the ground after the incident the host regretted how he had treated his guest in the immediate aftermath everett doubled down and expressed his negative feelings towards rome just to put me in that type of situation when i'm trying to accommodate his show i think was totally uncalled for number eight joan rivers storms off cnn even with your fashion critiquing while it's very mean in some ways people are not waiting to hear not me during a cnn interview this legendary comedian didn't exactly get along with her interviewer frederica whitfield joan rivers was initially okay with being asked about her fashion opinions and comedy but the conversation got incredibly awkward after whitfield questioned the fashion police star about wearing fur feeling that the discussion had gotten too negative rivers didn't hold back her true feelings all you've done is negative all you've done is negative i haven't heard it i make people laugh for 50 years i am put on earth to make people laugh after railing at the line of questioning she decided to make an early exit whitfield was left stunned after rivers cut the interview off while the comedian wasn't afraid to talk about other controversial topics fur was clearly a subject she didn't want to touch that day well rivers didn't return to the interview but off camera she kept her microphone on as she continued to talk and drop some rather unflattering four-letter words number seven bobcat trashes arsenio's set the arsenio hall show i'm going to be honest i mean why are you why i feel why make it easier for the next guy are you really quitting bobcat goldthwait took his crazy comic persona to a whole new level when he made an appearance on the arsenio hall show the eccentric performer spray-painted the set and treated the stage like a wrestling ring protesting the show's untimely demise the comedian destroyed the space in support of the host it also deserved mentioning how the mc maintained his trademark cool all the way through the segment there weren't many hosts that could stay positive and focused for this kind of crazy interview even if it was all for fun the performer still startled everyone with his behavior gold swaith's performance art brought arsenio hall's original run to a surprising end i'm sorry i just feel like breaking more stuff number six mariah carey's new year's eve disaster dick clark's new year's rock and eve during the 2017 new year's eve festivities mariah carey's act didn't go as planned while trying to deliver a concert audio problems threw the performance for a loop the issues caused carrie to publicly criticize the technical failures as the event continued mariah said she couldn't hear her tracks because of a faulty earpiece we're missing some of this logo although she initially tried to continue the singer couldn't regain her mojo carrie alternated between complaining and walking through the motions until she couldn't stand it anymore no matter what caused the issues that she faced that night it was clear that she couldn't recover from what happened behind the scenes the shaken songstress ending her six minute performance leaving the stage quickly you just don't get any better number five nicholas cage goes nuts wogan i'm sorry man i just out of that workout over there i know you're really hot yeah well it's warm in here tonight nicholas cage emerged in the 1980s as one of the most entertaining performers in movie history on the wogan talk show he proved that he can be just as wild in person as he can on the silver screen he quickly showed off acrobatic and martial arts moves shortly after his arrival welcome nicholas cage cage also made it rain with dollar bills for the audience however cage wasn't done he later removed his shirt and kept it up for the remainder of the interview although his appearance was in line with his energetic public persona the actor later acknowledged that it was a bit over the top he would later channel some of the energy from this interview in his meta role for the unbearable weight of massive talent number four charlie sheen is winning good morning america your passion is coming off as erratic right people do you borrow my brain for five seconds and just be like dude can't handle it after charlie sheen openly ran into issues with his substance use disorder and engaged in a few public feuds he lost his job on two and a half men the actor decided to discuss his troubles in an interview with good morning america what could have been a normal discussion quickly became an infamous conversation i'm bi winning i went here and i went there now what during the interview sheen gives surprisingly casual answers about serious questions he also delivered a number of unique words and phrases that would later be parodied and made into memes after this troubling and chaotic interview no one would look at sheen quite the same way i just have a different constitution i have a different brain i have a different heart i have different you know i get tighter blood man number three will smith slaps chris rock 94th academy awards will and jada pinkett smith sat front row as comedian chris rock took the stage at the 94th academy awards during one part of the comedian's bit he joked about the actress's shaved head although will smith initially laughed at the joke his demeanor quickly changed he shocked everyone by proceeding to get up and slap rock wow after returning to his seat smith unleashed a few bleep worthy threats while some initially thought it was a big joke it was soon revealed that the entire incident was incredibly real the incident felt even more surreal when smith won the best actor award later in the night although it should have been a celebration of a great achievement his actions cast a long shadow over his win you gotta be able to have people talk crazy about you in this business you gotta be able to have people disrespecting you number two kanye snubs taylor 26th mtv video music awards and the moon man for best female video goes to taylor swift every mtv fan remembers where they were when

protested the decision yo taylor i'm really happy for you i'm let you finish but beyonce had one of the best videos of all time everybody at home and in the audience was completely stunned by the rapper's actions the incident was highly covered by news outlets and even prompted a response from president obama in the years since the interruption west and swift publicly clashed several more times but it's doubtful that any dispute could reach the heights of infamy that the vma incident did it was one of the most cringe-worthy moments in award show history before we continue be sure to
