Wow. Talk about awkward. Linda Howe just has a complete meltdown on this stream. @Gunner65 put me on to this Cambian guy whom in turn was covering this interview of Linda by Curt Jaimungal. A simple question about an image on her website is asked [the question came from Cambian] and she loses her shit starting at the 2 hour and 36 minute mark.
"Nothing about the last 20 minutes has been fair" - LMH
I am going to defend my gal LMH
Will comment on the last twenty minutes
First off, two and a half hour is a long ass interview, unless he was straight up with her and said it's a three hour show and if she's willing to stay for the whole time and she agreed with that, if not, that's bad form on his part. Keeping someone who just turned 80 for that long is absurd and real bad form, most you would think an interview would like 60, if it goes well 90 minutes but I do totally understand when she said "We been at this for 2 and a half hours, how much longer is this going" I don't find that rude at all.
Second his tone was really prickish, the line "You can handle tough questions, you're a tough lady... Look at your jacket" seems mocking. If you gonna say something "jokingly" like that you BETTER have a good relationship with the person you said it too and just busting on your friend. But obviously that isn't the case here. I agree with
@DaveScottSOR if someone willing to give their time to you on your show (especially two and a half hours) show a bit more respect than that. Now I not saying an interview should be as informercialish as a Noory interviews but their should be a balance
Lastly, the "What did you get wrong and had to correct" is a good questions and LMH could have answered that with more grace. But again the placement of it and how he asked it was pretty awful on his part. Also stop deflecting it to reddit, you are the host, own your questions, replying with "Well it got upvotes on reddit" is lazy, she on your show she not on reddit AskMeAnything, no problem getting question ideas online but when you ask them and there's a push back you can say "Well it's reddit question"
