"What a tosser!": The A-list celeb banned by Kyle and Jackie O
Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson have interviewed numerous celebrities, and the pair have revealed just who took out the title of worst interviewee and was banned from coming back: Friends star Matt LeBlanc.
The actor appeared on The Kyle and Jackie O Show in 2016 to promote his new gig as a host on BBC series Top Gear, but the radio hosts remember how “arrogant” he was and his lack of enthusiasm for his new role.
“Remember when we had Matt LeBlanc on? Oh, that didn’t go well,” Sandilands reminisced on Tuesday morning’s show.
“That was for Top Gear years ago, and it was a terrible interview. But he’s notoriously bad in interviews,” Henderson added.
Despite LeBlanc’s apparently poor track record in interviews, Sandilands said there was no excuse for his behaviour.
“Who cares? He was very arrogant and then he had to get hung up on and sworn at,” he said.
“And then banned from ever coming back again. Worst interview in the world!”
The KIIS FM hosts then moved to LeBlanc’s well-known character in Friends, Joey Tribbiani, and his infamous pick-up line, “How you doin’?”
“‘How you doin?’ That gets old! You can’t just walk around [saying], ‘How you doin’?’ It’s bulls**t!” Sanderson said.
“He should have dropped that line. It wasn’t funny,” Henderson replied.
At the time of their interview with LeBlanc, Henderson and Sandilands also spoke about the experience, with Sandilands saying it was so bad he didn’t want it to air “because of the total lack of giving a s**t from Joey (Matt LeBlanc)”.
“The guy said about 15 words in the whole interview,” Sandilands said at the time, with Henderson adding, “Matt’s never into it … it’s hard work”.
“The guy’s an a***hole,” Sandilands continued. “I was really p***ed off because I thought, why am I giving up my evening for these pricks?
“What a tosser!”
