Who do you like watching on TV but don't like in real life? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I never thought much of Michael Landon on talk shows
I liked watching Oprah when she had her talk show but I didn't think much of her in real life, still don't

I loved Michael Landon on TV shows but according to his previous two families (children) he wasn't a real nice person in real life and seemed to not have much to do with them when he moved on to a new wife and kids.

I always liked Gene Hackman in movies but have heard he's a real jerk.

Steven Seagal has an awful reputation for treating co-stars and stuntmen like garbage.

Carrie Underwood, She may seem like a country sweetheart, but apparently, it's all an act. Longtime fans have said she's only nice when the cameras on are. Otherwise, she's rude, standoffish, and arrogant.

Zooey Deschanel, actually has a reputation for being rude on set. According to insiders and staff members on her show, The New Girl, Zooey Deschanel tends to be rude, demanding, and moody during filming.

Sandra Bullock yelled at a wheelchair-bound fan who requested an autograph from her, and has reprimanded reporters for asking her - on the red carpet - what designer she was wearing.

Ellen Degeneres, Apparently the beloved daytime talk show host is very tyrannical back stage. Her drinks must be a certain temperature, and the air can't be too hot or too cold, or she will throw a fit.

When he was working on Batman Forever, director Joel Schumacher had to tell Val Kilmer that his treatment of the crew was unacceptable because he was so rude to them.

Rachael Ray the TV chef has been rumored to treat her assistants terribly, and her temper while filming is as hot as a jalapeno!

My brother and his class took a trip to NY years ago and saw Chevy Chase on one of the stops. He was in a hall walking and actually took off when one of the kids approached him. We all thought that was beyond rude.

My parents ran into Gallagher in an Elevator in Vegas and he was just hateful to them! My parents really had loved this guy and watched his specials on TV back then. They threw away the tickets they had for his show that night and he lost two fans. http://https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ErppAlOIGQE

I didn't know that about Michael Landon, but I did read that he suffered from bouts of depression and he was a workaholic and controlling and that he drank and smoked and ate too much. I've seen some interviews of his on YouTube and he seemed very fun and engaging, so who knows? And I read that when he died his will favored the kids in the marriage he was in - and the current wife - more than the other kids.

From all I've heard about Chevy Chase I think I probably wouldn't want to meet him, but I like his character on Community and the show changed for the worse once he left. It's sad that no one he works with really has anything good to say about him because he is a legend who has been in so many iconic movies and was one of the original actors on SNL.

Kelsey Grammer is someone whom I've come to dislike in anything but Frasier and Cheers, and I've started to dislike his character sometimes on Frasier, but it's based on what I've seen about him in his real life, it's spilled onto that character for me. I mostly watch Frasier because the rest of the cast is so great.

Bill Cosby. Loved his character on the Cosby Show. I can't stand the real life version.

treky · 10-10-2016, 06:22 PM

my cousin worked on the show COMMUNITY and has said that Chevy Chase is "a really nasty S.O.B."

In fact the entire cast is, but especially Chevy Chase. He also worked on THAT 70S SHOW and 3RD ROCK FROM THE SUN and has said that some of the "70s" cast also aren't the nicest people in the world but the "3RD ROCK" cast is the complete opposite.

Yes the show was better with him. Pierce Hawthorne might be my favorite character although I also love Troy Barnes a lot.

I'd like to hear some examples of the Community cast not being nice. I mean it won't affect my love for the show, I'm just curious.

I love Ariana Grande, but I've heard she can be rude to her fans sometimes as well.

My first firm had clients from the original cast of SNL and everybody hated Chevy Chase. I never thought he was funny either.

A friend's daughter's 6th grade class took the NBC tour at Rockefeller Center and ran into Al Roker. They were all smiles and spoke to him but he completely ignored them.

On the other hand I worked with Bill Cosby in the 80's as well as Ron Howard, Meryl Streep, Demi Moore, Cyndi Lauper, and a bunch of others and they were all fine.

liane60 · 10-12-2016, 10:48 AM

Chevy Chase got divorced from his first wife because she said he was too conceded. All the fame went to his head.

liane60 · 10-12-2016, 10:50 AM

Yea I use to like Cosby until all the women came forward about him "Gropping" "drugging" them.

I listen to a country radio show in the morning in MD and in June they had their annual Country Fest and Miranda Lambert was the headliner. After the show one of the DJ's from my radio station said he was there and wanted a selfy and she refused.

I haven't heard this at all. I'd have no problem admitting that someone I'm a fan of is a rude person but I don't tend to believe this one.
