Awkward Moments on Talk Shows That Were Almost Too Hard to Watch

But things don’t always follow a script. When the guest gets uncomfortable or the host accidentally offends, things can get really awkward really fast. Check out these super awkward talk show moments that made us cringe.

She said that Ellen was, in fact, invited to the birthday party and she confronted her about the last time she was on the show where Ellen gave her a hard time about not being invited to a different party. Dakota even said, “I didn’t even know you liked me”. Awkward!

She felt insulted when the interviewers asked if she had even read the book Paper Towns, which the movie was based on. They didn’t catch on to her dry humor and asked if she was tired. At that point, it was pretty unsalvageable.

Ellen seemed to enjoy the food but Nicole stated, “It’s a little tough… I know you’re not meant to criticize but it’s a little tough”. That’s a little rude, Nicole! The chef laughed it off but we imagine she was slightly insulted.

Fallon says that he would call or email Rami if he had his email address or phone number. Rami immediately corrects him by saying, “You have my email and phone number”. Jimmy gets flustered and trips on his words, knowing he was caught in a lie.

Dakota eventually gets fed up and asks, “Aren’t you supposed to let people talk on this show?” They laughed it off but it was a pretty awkward moment between Jimmy and Dakota. He didn’t interrupt her for the rest of the show, though!

Ellen confidently claimed that Katy was never married. She had, of course, been married to Russell Brand in 2010. Katy reminded Ellen that she gifted her marriage gifts on her show! Oops.

Joaquin was having none of it. He told Jimmy, “You can handle it. I feel like you can handle it. You do a monologue every night”. Next time, Jimmy should just stick to his guest’s regular names.

Megyn was trying to pay her a compliment but it got really weird. She stated, “You admit you’ve had work done, which I think is to your credit, but you look amazing”. It was really inappropriate and that was written all over Jane’s face. She asked, “We really want to talk about that now?”

The interview seemed odd from the very beginning, with many awkward pauses. When they play a game involving Justin Bieber, Wendy commented that people say Ellen looks like him. We’re unsure if she meant to offend or not but she has made a career out of saying some shocking things. Regardless, Ellen was not too thrilled about the comparison.

It appears that he refuses to answer the question so Jimmy awkwardly cuts to commercial break to try and soothe the tension. Kanye took to Twitter after the interview and claimed that he was not stumped by the question but rather was not given an opportunity to answer. Either way it was uncomfortable to watch!

Kelly brings up Michal’s divorce! She turns to him and says she wants his take on divorce since she hasn’t been through it. That’s more than a little insensitive. Michael’s shock was evident in the way he turned wide-eyed into the camera. Not a great end to the show!

In this case, Ellen asked Celine when she was going to give her son a haircut. She kept harping on the subject to which Celine finally asked, “Do you have a problem with that?” Ellen said she didn’t have a problem but it was just really long hair. Celine finally stated she would never be able to please everyone.

He asked if he was making fun of his album cover and eventually asked if he was even going to conduct an interview because Jimmy wasn’t asking him any rela questions.It was pretty tense throughout and it’s hard to tell if Jimmy was just having a bad day or what was going on.

He asked to move on and later explained that he was embarrassed by the clip because it was taken out of context. Things can get tense on a movie set!
