Does anyone know where I can find video of yesterday’s Today show, when Catherine Keener verbally bitch-slapped bubbleheaded interviewer Jill Rappaport for asking Jennifer Aniston if - get this - Oprah would be throwing her and Vince Vaughn an $8 million wedding?
Keener, joining Aniston and Joan Cusack on the show to promote Friends with Money, apparently broke Aniston’s irritated silence by telling Rappaport, “I thought you weren’t going to go there. But you did.” Rappaport replied: “When you hear about an $8 million wedding, you’d like to be invited.” And Keener snapped: “And now you won’t be.”
Anyone who’s seen Your Friends & Neighbors, Lovely and Amazing or Being John Malkovich knows a well-delivered Keener insult is worth the price of admission. Remember, in Death to Smoochy, when Robin Williams called their sex life “experimental” and she replied that she’d “had firmer handshakes?” I hope she addressed Rappaport just like that.
While we’re on the topic of The Today Show, I don’t give a shit about Katie Couric leaving, but what’s gonna happen if Meredith Vieira replaces her? Meredith’s (very) relative sanity is the only thing keeping Joy from ripping out Elisabeth’s hair and using it to gag Star during the “Hot Topic” portion of The View. And is Today really the appropriate forum for someone who loves to talk about her teenagers’ sex lives and her own predilection for not wearing underwear? Although I guess that bar disappeared the moment we saw the inside of Couric’s colon.
Oh, the wonders of daytime TV. It sucks having a job sometimes.

msnbc vidoe threads have it. i watched it early today and it isn’t as bitchy as the reports state.
Yeah it’s at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12166536/
Catherine K. is not that bitchy, but the over-tanned Maria Shriver interviewer gets pretty flustered as she puts her foot in her mouth. That was pretty fun to watch.
