Peter Helliar names worst celeb to interview
Don't miss out on the headlines from Entertainment. Followed categories will be added to My News. Australian comedian and TV personality has named the celebrity responsible for his all-time worst interview: Hollywood action man Mark Wahlberg. Appearing on The Hit Network's Carrie & Tommy show on Tuesday, Helliar recalled flying to the US in 2017 to interview Wahlberg and Will Ferrell to promote their film Daddy's Home 2 for The Project, but said it seemed Wahlberg did not want to be there. Helliar prefaced his interview by saying that he'd interview Wahlberg in the past and 'many times he's been great' – however, on this particular day, 'I think Mark may have either been hungover, tired, or not interested. He had his phone out …' Peter Helliar said he must've caught Wahlberg on a bad day. To be fair, it was 2017. Candy Crush and Farmville were HUGE. Picture:Host Carrie Bickmore asked if Wahlberg had taken his phone out mid-interview, which Helliar confirmed – but said the star did eventually put it away again. 'It was just too weird … he wasn't doing it in a fun way. I've interviewed Will a few times – and he does remember me – and he was a little bit embarrassed and carried the interview. That was not a great one. But I've had experiences with Mark Wahlberg where he has been great,' he said. He did at least smile! Ferrell (left) and Wahlberg chat to Helliar in 2017. The interview aired in November 2017, but it seems it never made it online, save for a brief seven-second teaser clip which was shared to social media before the episode and showed Ferrell and Wahlberg both laughing along with Helliar. Elsewhere in his chat with Carrie and Tommy, Helliar revealed his celebrity 'Hall Pass' – aka his biggest celebrity crush: Oscar-winning actress Julianne Moore. 'She's great, she's awesome. Redhead; she's great. I do love Julianne Moore,' he gushed. Aussie hosts name their worst celeb interviews Helliar is hardly the first Australian TV or radio presenter to name and shame a dud celebrity interviewee. Last month, comedian and radio host Mick Molloy named F1 champ Mark Webber as a contender for his worst interview, describing the former nine-time Grand Prix winner as 'honestly designed to not give an interesting answer.' Molloy had previously told about an awkward interview with country superstar Shania Twain at the peak of her 90s fame, which was scuppered by Twain's posse of handlers sitting in the studio to constantly interrupt and tell him 'You can't ask that.' Beau Ryan revealed on-air earlier this year that popular US actress Melissa McCarthy was his worst famous interview to date, describing her as 'prickly' during their chat several years ago. '[She gave] short answers, didn't want to be there, gave me nothing,' he continued, saying the 'disappointing' interview made him feel 'uncomfortable.' Funny lady Melissa McCarthy's lack of chat was 'disappointing' to Beau Ryan. Picture: AFP Jonesy and Amanda took revenge on a 'surly' Harrison Ford. Picture: AFP Also earlier this year, Dave Hughes named another hilarious Hollywood A-lister as his least favourite interviewee when asked by his campmates on I'm A Celeb. 'If we're going to be honest … it hurts me to say it, but it's … Ben Stiller. I was a big fan, and he was just a pain in the a**e,' Hughes confessed, before joking that he might have 'ruined his Hollywood career' by calling out the powerful actor and director. Perhaps radio stars Amanda Keller and Brendan 'Jonesy' Jones can claim the prize for worst interview with a Hollywood star, though. Several years ago, they confessed to that their interview with A-list actor Harrison Ford had gone so badly it was deemed unusable and never actually aired. 'He was cranky, he was surly, he wasn't our favourite … and we dropped him,' Keller revealed. Originally published as Peter Helliar names worst celeb to interview

Older People Are Exposing The Most "Out Of Touch" Things Young People Have Said To Them, And It's Pretty Embarrassing For Anyone Under 30
Gen Z'ers and Gen Alpha: can we get real for a sec? As people who grew up with the rise of technology, it's hard to imagine what life was like for other generations. And that can make us a liiiiittle bit entitled sometimes. 1. "A young guy told me he wanted to become a farmer because that seemed like a 'chill easy job.' I think his only experience was from playing Farmville on his phone." — Psychotic_Jester 2. "'I voted for Trump as a joke because I didn't think he'd actually win.'" "Her name was Emily and we're both sophomores in college." — therooster45 3. "'Aren't you a bit too old to have a grandma?' A neighbor when I told her my grandma just passed away." — shooklady 4. "I asked an intern to help me enter data into spreadsheets for an environmental project we had due soon. This was at an environmental consulting firm. They replied: 'I am going to pass on that work task because I don't see that as something I need to do within the realm of what I plan for my career path.'" — FlowingNotForcing 5. "When I was a step-mom to a teenage boy and caught him stealing money from us, I got his dad to take his phone away for a period of time. He flipped out before going to school one day and said, 'What am I supposed to do in class?' I said, 'IDK, learn? Listen to your own thoughts?' He said, 'YOU TRY LISTENING TO YOUR OWN THOUGHTS!'" "Actually, now that I'm saying this, at this stage in the game, that's pretty freaky 😂" — potsandpole 6. "The girl that thought a credit card was 'free money.'" — UrbanCyclerPT 7. "'I guess there are poor people in Jamaica, but they are so happy! They're used to being poor. They're not hungry. They can always just eat a coconut!'" "We were both around 19 years old and I was at a party at her house. We had just met. After we were done talking I wasn't invited back, which was fine by me!" — No_Goose_7390 8. "My 16-year-old niece saw my CD collection and asked why I had so many vintage music discs." — Naughty-Sweetheart 10. "I've worked in education since 2008. The number of kids who literally think they're gonna make it to the NFL or be a TikTok star is mind-blowing." — 544075701 11. "I had to stop using cursive at the last place I work, because most of the staff who were all under the age of 25 didn't know how to read it." — spytez 12. "When I was young, I refused a lot of opportunities because I wanted to do a certain job. I was so clouded with my own understanding of how the world worked that I sabotaged myself. I could have easily made good money in my early 20s, but I had this mindset on how I wanted to do things and how I wanted things to happen. I was out of touch." — TheCoffeeManLife 13. "It just blows my mind how many people under 30 complain about feeling old and used up, or they feel like it's too late to find another path in life. Apparently feeling old is something for young people to do. I'm 40+ and feel like my life has just begun." — Historical_Guess2565 15. "In college, I had a friend who was looking for apartments near our campus and she came across multiple listings that were close by and under $1000. While showing me pictures, she said, 'Wow, look at this: $800 for this whole house.'" "At first I thought she was joking, because I thought there was no way in hell she could think that a 4-bedroom, 2-bath, newly-built townhouse would be $800. I calmly explained to her that these listings were for bedrooms with shared common spaces around the house. She looked distraught and disgusted by the fact that people would 'lie' on the internet and 'lure people in with photos of the entire house, making them believe they could have it all.'" — Adventurous-Run-5920 16. "Overheard from my 19-year-old coworkers: 'I think I'm going to wait to get botox until I'm old — like 25.'

"'Millennials never take responsibility for anything — the housing market, the environment, the economy. They blame everything on boomers.'" — Asherwinny107 19. "'I don't go to the doctor or dentist, so I don't need health insurance.' Said by my 25-year-old stepdaughter when I advised her that legally at 26, she'd need to have her own insurance." "To give more context, we were talking about therapy, which she wanted to do after a long discussion. But she didn't want to pay for it and we, her parents, offered to cover what wasn't covered by insurance. For the first couple years of college, she'd have visits for healthcare when she came home, until she said she didn't want to go anymore and refused. As a legal adult we can't control whether or not she goes for healthcare." — FruityStrawberry3119 20. "'If the lottery system has so much money, why can't they just cut everyone a big check instead of making you pay to play?'" — Nothing-tralala 21. "He thought because I didn't pay to listen to music I was pirating it, even though I clearly told him I watch music videos on YouTube or listened to the radio. He didn't understand that musicians distributing music in that format got their money from advertisers rather than from subscriptions." "The whole thing would have been hilarious if it hadn't been so sad that the younger generation thinks the only legit way to consume content is through subscriptions. They have no clue how to be frugal and find free and completely legal means to listen to their music." — mekat 22. "A 15-year-old told me she wanted to join the army when she was older because she didn't like being told what to do." — Ok-Masterpiece-4716 23.

I explained that I prefer to spend my time reading books, and they responded, ' The sheer lack of understanding of alternative interests was pretty out of touch." — WestCaterpillar6623 25. "'You guys need to learn to adapt.' A new colleague said this to us during a staff meeting about her atrocious work ethic." — 1whoisconcerned 26. "I was debating my cousin's in-laws, who were high schoolers, at a Christmas party. I was stating facts and frustrating them, and their epic comeback was, 'You don't know anything — how many Instagram and TikTok followers do you have?'" "So my points were invalid because I have 100-ish followers on Instagram, all of which I know, and they have thousands of followers liking their thirst-trap photos." — throwthatoneawaydawg 27. "'What do you mean you don't have summer off? They make you work during summer?!?' Yes, child. Adults don't get summer break." "You know when you go to the grocery store or the movies all summer?

"Told me that he will never go to work and will instead make money by investing. I asked where he will get the money for investing a large enough sum to live off of it." — tommykiddo 35. "My 12-year-old nephew said, 'You don't need to get me anything at all for my birthday! We can go shopping at the mall or you can give me money.'" "Like, you been taught what 'anything' means?" — Aggravating_Sun4359 36. "I was asked if I wanted the senior discount at 36 years old. Yes, I took it." — Beautiful_explosion_ 38. "Just about everything a person under the age of 18 has ever said to me about politics has been pretty much nonsense, no matter what side it aligned with." "You don't pay taxes, you don't have a job, you don't have responsibilities, statistically you probably didn't even vote in the one election you were old enough for, and all of your info is from TikToks by an equally unqualified teenager. I don't give a shit what you think about pretty much anything. I have one little cousin who's obsessed with Andrew Tate and Elon Musk, so he's immediately tuned out, and another one who says she has 'time blindness' so she'll be on disability forever and we need more support for people like her. I don't need their input." — Dissapointingdong 39. "Little cousin thought fast food jobs were easy. Then he got one to make his own money. He quit in a week." — Sharpshooter188 40. "'You're old. You don't need more money.'" "If they only knew." — jtd0000 41. "We had a young guest speaker at work who was there to speak to us about mental health. She advised us that if there was a task that we weren't up for, to tell our bosses that we weren't mentally equipped to complete that task that day." "For the record, we're teachers. And her examples were tasks such as lesson planning, grading, and talking to students — the main point of our jobs." — IllustriousCabinet11 42. "'$100,000 isn't a life-changing amount of money.' Boy, shut up and do your homework." — TempAcc64 43. "Kid in the shop at work said he'd gone to the strip club and a stripper hung out with him all night, dancing for him, talking to him and 'I gave her my number — I think she really likes me!' When we all laughed, he said, 'Yeah, I know that's what everyone says, but, guys, seriously, this one is different!'" "She didn't call." — bluediesel
