10 Reasons Celebs Were Banned From Talk Shows
When a celebrity talk show interview isn't going well, it's quite evident. The typical structure of those conversations is as follows: the guest shares one or two amusing anecdotes about their personal or professional lives, highlights their most recent endeavors and concludes with a nice thank-you from the host. However, a guest's appearance doesn't always go as planned. When a talk show interview takes a wrong turn, the guest can leave the stage or never be asked back.
Some celebrities, including the following ten names, have been prohibited from appearing on talk programs. For some, it was a specific appearance that suddenly worsened. Others said it was because the host just disliked them.
The prohibition was later maintained by Jay Leno when he was the show's host "out of respect for Johnny." When Jimmy Fallon took over as host of The Tonight Show in 2014, Rivers made his long-awaited comeback to the show. According to her statement to Variety, "being in the studio brought back the most lovely, fantastic memories of the night that launched my career."
She said he got hurt while awaiting the interview in the green room. Garrett, though, refuted O'Donnell's account. He admitted to TooFab, "I was sober at that moment, for that show.
He said that he and Madonna had never actually agreed on anything. "There was an incident involving a photographer and a bodyguard at a hotel in the south of France during the Cannes Film Festival. Another incident involved a bar owned by her recently deceased husband, Guy Ritchie, where my brother was the manager.
More recently, during the 2016 campaign, Seth Meyers barred Trump from appearing on his show. Even though he has never visited, begged to come here, or would ever be seen dead here, we implemented this ban. Meyers jokingly said it takes an unbelievable amount of guts on our side.
On his broadcast, Anderson also mocked the Kardashians. He said it was "depressing" that their reality TV program had been renewed and continued, "The men on it appear horrible."
Additionally, she claimed that she was kicked off The View for making a joke about Barbara Walters, the show's originator, and a longstanding co-host, having sex with Howard Stern. She then made a statement about a time when Jay Leno made her weep during an interview. She said that after a "long period," she wasn't invited back to The Tonight Show, but they had reconciled.
When his program debuted, he arbitrarily banned Madonna, so I'm banning Piers Morgan! Although I don't have anyone on a ban list, he would be on it if I had to." O'Donnell and Madonna are close friends and co-stars in the 1992 film A League of Their Own.
According to reports, Leno came into Stern's show and said that the radio host had "gone beyond the accepted limits" after claiming that Stern "s*** in his house." Since then, Stern has been a harsh critic of Leno and has even referred to him as a "spineless grub." It is hardly shocking that he was not called back.
