Bret Easton Ellis

She had to comb through all the parts of me talking to the writer about how horrible she was.

And then she felt also compelled to tell me that she heard all about, which I would not do if I were her.

But she said I was the boss, so she couldn't really do anything.

But she went, just got out of the edit bay, was watching some of the rough footage, heard a lot of the audio.

Thanks for the compliments she gave me, which I understand I had coming.

But I would argue it's also uncomfortable for her as well.

I had the same problem on the Today Show.

Similar story, but with Katie Couric.

What happened?

Well, I was booked to be on the Today Show to promote a novel of mine.

Katie didn't really want to do the segment, wasn't necessarily a fan, thought I was too dark to be on the first hour of the Today Show.

And so she kept subtly...

eliminating my six or seven minutes of time.

And so it got to five minutes.

It got to four minutes.

And so I'm mic'd.

Meaning, were they stretching out the segments before you?

They were stretching out the segments before me.

And so I was basically going to get three minutes.

And I was mic'd, didn't realize it, was kind of stressed by the whole situation.
