He Walked Off The Set Of A Talk Show
Jennings didn’t like it when the powers at be would cut into his set lists, and he always made his displeasure known. Perhaps the best-known protest took place in 1998, when he walked off the set of Tom Snyder’s Late Late Show.
Let us set the scene for y’all…
So apparently, Jennings went in to the show and already wasn’t pleased with the way things were set up. He wanted the entire hour-long slot to himself, but learned he would be sharing time with another guest, Dr. Laura.
Already displeased, Jennings grew even more frustrated when Dr. Laura’s segment ran over into his own. Deciding he had enough, Jennings stormed off the set and left before he ever stepped in front of the cameras.
His exit left Snyder in shock, and he had to scramble to fill the remaining minutes of the show. “I have never had anybody leave before they came on,” Snyder said.
Clearly, he had never had Jennings as a guest before!
