Video Post - We Love To Watch Train Wrecks

ABC News has an entertainment segment called What’s The Buzz?. The format is simple, do an on air interview with an actor, actress or producer on an up and coming film or TV show and plop the segment down on the entertainment section of the ABC news website.
Sometimes simplicity can go terribly awry as demonstrated in the following Buzz interview by Merry Miller with Hollywood actress Holly Hunter about her TNT series, Saving Grace. (h/t Lynn Davidson at Newsbusters)
The interview is filled with awkward pauses, amateurish follow up questions (truetruetrue) and an overly loud monitor headset where you can hear the production crew giving Miller instruction such as “ask the question” and “talk!”. The best bit is at the end where Miller directs people to follow up on the segment by misdirecting them to NBC news.com, which resulted in a shrieking “nooooooo!” by one of the staffers at Miller’s ABC produced show.
Bummer. It looks like Miller was having problems reading the teleprompter and her nerves got the best of her. That is unfortunate but the shriek at the end made it all worthwhile for me.

That was pathetic. I wonder what she’s getting paid to do those interviews? She can’t read, she can’t think, she can’t speak. Very sad.
