Then, in THE MOST disgusting part of the interview, that same anchor jokingly asked if Janet was wearing “iron suspenders.”

During a 2004 interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Oprah asked Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen their clothing size.

Oprah asked the twins about the rumor, but as Ashley was explaining how rumors just “come with the territory,” Oprah interrupted her to ask what size they were.

When both Mary-Kate and Ashley said they didn’t know their exact size since they’re very petite (they’re both just over five feet tall) and had to get their clothes taken in most of the time, Oprah condescendingly made fun of them.

12.

And finally, while Sandra Bullock was promoting her movie The Proposal on The Today Show, Matt Lauer couldn’t stop talking about her “nude” scene.

Sandra held her composure and made jokes until he moved on. But his last question brought her nakedness right back into the conversation.

Then when the interview was over, Sandra joked that she was never coming back.
