Posting anonymously makes you look a sad, gutless waste of space, which you can't possibly be, of course.<br /><br />You've been ridiculing Ken over a fairly insignificant issue. Even if it wasn't Sam himself who posted here, so what? Is that really something to post multiple times about? Why don't you post under your real name and dazzle us with your long list of screenwriting credits and awards?

They're being produced on the fly with producers screaming commands in the hosts' ears. They have to come up with something to fill the air time but have no guarantee any of the arrivals will talk to them or how cooperative they'll be even if they do. It's a much tougher gig then you'd think.

If there's people out there who haven't let you off the hook and refuse to let you live it down, they need to chill. <br /><br />Call me crazy, but I don't think Samuel L Jackson was really ticked-off all that much. Either he indeed had an inkling that one of his commercials was shown during the Super Bowl, or he was just trying to spice-up another ho-hum interview with some shtick (which was a bit lame to me).<br /><br />But Ken, if you think Sam Rubin is a bit of a goof, you should see Greg Kelly's many antics on <i>Good Day New York</i>. He's has so many of these kind of cringe-worthy moments that they've made their way onto <i>The Soup</i> at least a dozen times over the years.<br /><br />Cheerio,<br />JeffroJeffrohttp://kenlevine.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-78010151656116122672014-02-12T15:35:56.903-08:002014-02-12T15:35:56.903-08:00Sam does show some class in this.
