Danny Glover Is Kind of Pissed Off at KTVU




Actor and San Francisco native, Danny Glover is none too pleased with Tori Campbell and KTVU.


Less than a minute into an interview on Fox2's "Mornings on 2" last week, Glover showed his displeasure at being cut off and "sorry, we're running out of time" explanation--well, let's just go to the video, shall we?

We shall.

    Maybe he can trash some rooms at SFSU like he did in the early 60s.

    "Because of the satellite".....
    That's why KTVU cut DG off ?
    Come up with a better lie next time Tori.

      We do satellite tours for our station as well. Sometimes we are scheduled for 5 or 10 minutes, but then we got cut in our tight window due to other waiting stations or technical delay. One of our recent interviews was only 2 minutes and we supposed to have at least 5 minutes. We were not happy, but these situations happen. Because we do these types of interviews on a regular basis, Tori may not have been lying. It's unfortunate and out of our control.

    In this situation, I think that Glover was slighted.

      It was an opinion, 9:28.

      Glover: "Well, you should have given me more time..."
      Tori: "I know"

      Even the interviewer knew that Glover was given an insufficient amount of time to get his points across. They invite the man on, cut him off, and the indignity is hastily blamed on the satellite. And Tori's subsequent, Liz Cook-like stammering, "explanation" didn't come across as being very sincere.

    I'm surprised Glover took the time to go on that third rate morning rag. He should've said: "Ho Li Fuk! You only give me two minutes!?". Glover is a man of substance involved with important causes. Unfortunately it doesn't translate well on mainstream shows with time "constraints". Glad he put Campbell in her place.

      I remember rhe time he came out to show solidarity for striking workers. He pulled up in his limo, got out, grabbed a picket sign from a worker, was photographed on the line for about 60 seconds, then jumped back into his limo.

    The story was a union fluff piece and an absolute bore.
    I would have given it a :45 vosot.
    The union paid for the sat time NOT KTVU. Maybe the sat was about to "goodnight"(go dark) but if there had been greater interest the sat bookers would have booked a continuous window.

    On SatPress Tours with little interest the booker usually just buys little windows of 5-10 mins (cheaper).

    I bet you KTVU would have given him and his cause a lot more time had he been booked "in studio".....or if he had a new movie upcoming.

    If FOX wants the new format changes in MO2 to work they have to find talented people who can implement the format. The current on-air morning personnel can't handle it. The exiting of Torie Campbell is a good first step. Like my grandma used to say "you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear."

    Kathleen ...this was a producer error..not a Tori error. Satellite windows like this one have "hard start" times..Glover probably had to speak with 20 stations that morning....like celebrities when hey promote a new movie, they answer the same questions multiple times from different TV stations.....the producer should have seen that the steps to hit that hard time on time were not followed, and rather than telling Mr. Glover via IFB that they would not have the full time allotted, and ask if they could rebook a later hit time, the rookie producer went with it, knowing full well it would be a cluster, or maybe not knowing, since he/she let it develop. This was not Tori's gaffe. The fallout is both Glover and Tori look bad. The blame lays at the feet of the producer.

    Glover is a punk.
    I worked at a Bank of America south of Market, and Glover came in to do a bit of business. He parked in front of a hydrant or something, in any case a no-parking zone. Naturally, the parking lot security guy ticketed his car. The attendant had no idea it was Glover's car.
    Glover ran back into the branch screaming at the top of his lungs demanding to see the manager and demanding that the security guy get fired. It took ten minutes to calm him down.
    Yep, a real punk.

      Typical, how Mr. Union (HA!) Glover was ready to get a working class guy like the security guy fired. Sounds like the average limousine (or other) liberal who talks out of one side of their mouth, and acts out of another. Meanwhile, those mean old conservatives will usually quietly help their fellow humans w/o making it a front page event.

    Or something? And yet you claim to have been there? Either you remember the story or you don't. Unless, of course, it never happened.

      Exactly. It sounds far fetched like the urban legend of the welfare queen every conservative has seen driving an escalade and wearing a ton of bling.

      8:07, since 6:19 attributed the fact that the story is false due to it being brought up by "right wing crazies" is all the factual evidence needed these days, isn't it? I mean, colored man good, white man baaaaaad!
