I woke up this morning tired and drained. I decided that between life’s regular stresses and the constant barrage of negativity that seems to have encapsulated the universe, that I needed a laugh. Something that would give me the giggles. I then remembered that infamous episode of Sam the Cooking Guy on air with Hoda and Kathie Lee.
In case you missed it, Sam the Cooking Guy was on the Today Show this Summer with Hoda and Kathie Lee and then just couldn’t take it anymore. I do watch the Today Show and one of my pet peeves is that most of the on air personalities tend to be silly and absorb the spotlight away from the individuals providing the guest segments. Often guest spots are never able to make it through their entire segment due to some silliness. Hoda Kotbe and Kathie Lee Gifford are the worst offenders. It seems that Sam the Cooking Guy knew this and began to get a little irritated.
“People think I’m a goofball, and that’s mostly true. But I still want them to learn something, and the Today show co-hosts just weren’t having any of it that day. So I guess I felt I needed to put my food down.” – Sam
The segment is awkward and a bit funny. It gets even sillier when later the producers invited him back for the three of them to do a segment on good manners and successfully handling conflict. It makes me laugh and reminds me that letting things get to you is just plain silly and ends up making you look like a boob. They all three were boobs.
You can see the entire segment on MSN and the silly follow-up with the “etiquette expert” on You Tube.
