Talk Show Hosts Reveal Their Worst Guests Ever

Talk show hosts who are good at what they do are usually on air for decades. Not many can pull off conducting interviews with some of the biggest stars in the world on a consistent basis. It's definitely a unique talent that not many possess.

It requires the right amount of charm, wit, and warmth to make a celeb feel at ease while keeping a conversation flowing. But when you are constantly interviewing big egos, it's not always going to be smooth sailing.

There are, of course, the usual suspects when it comes to awkward interviews, yet you'll be surprised to see some of these celebs. Let's look at which talk show hosts reveal their worst guests ever.

What current celebrity would you want to see host a talk show?

[NemeanLion-]

When I first saw Willem Dafoe, I was worried he was going to be introduced as the worst guest ever. He’s such a pleasant and cool guy.

[richicamacho]

Hugh Grant owning up to his behavior on Jon Stewart is very very respectable

[thefantasyreview]

Hugh Grant, instead of having a tanty, actually apologised for it. Everyone has a bad night, I've seen him n plenty of interviews where he is funny.

[lastpme]

I looked at the clock and only four minutes passed...but I had 56 minutes to go...that was too funny 😂.

The one about Oceans 8 made me roll my eyes. You put 5 women on a couch together that have been getting to know each other for like a year and become close. The interviews for that movie were hilarious and chaotic. It is great to see a bunch of women together that aren't all stiff and worried about their image. They just had fun.

That's Harrison Ford. Anytime someone asks him if he had fun being in a film, he basically says he liked the money. His brutal honesty is admirable!

[TheRealQuickSilver]

That interview with Jerry Seinfeld was so hard to watch the first time I saw it. It was just Seinfeld absolutely berating the host for asking a simple question.

Arsenio Hall had the Olsen Twins on.They were nervous children and just said yes or no or shrugged their shoulders.Arsenio finally looked at the camera and said I am in talk show host pergatory here folks.

[SebastianTheGreat]

Lol, Harrison Ford. Is there any movie that he’s excited to promote?

[Offmedication]

Arthur fleck- my vote for worst guest ever.

[NosalgiK]

Jimmy Fallon's worst guest ever is himself.

[wotan]

Is anyone surprised? Many celebrities are scintillating in front of a camera with words written by a writer. In real life, most of them are as dull as dishwater.

[bellmeisterful]

Be very careful saying a black person was your worst guest there Ferguson. Good...you said she was probably having a bad day and she's a very good person. Smart man.

[eaubert]

It makes you realize how shallow and superficial show-biz is! I'm just amazed that any late night show host can have any conversation with any of these overpaid actors or singers.

[sodkfniw]

Dr Phil’s worst guest is himself whether he knows it or not

[MusicalGirl]

Bob Hope is no surprise to me. When my mother was a little girl in the 70s, she loved Bob Hope. One time, he came to our town (to our mall, if I remember correctly) to do some sort of meet and greet, but for whatever reason mom couldn’t go. My grandfather met him and asked if he could give him an autograph/signed photo for her, and Hope basically cursed him out. Pappy thoroughly disliked him after that, to say the least.

[keithkimmel]

David Letterman's worst guest undoubtedly had to be Joaquin Phoenix. I'm really surprised that wasn't in here!

[advancedraymondology]

The Falk-Cassavetes-Gazarra thing looks AWESOME.

[TheseCheeseball]

Surprises me Graham Norton didn't mention Madonna. That whole episode was painful to watch.
