Everyone was glued to the TV last night for this.
In what will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the most talked about episodes of The Late Late Show in living history, it is surprising that the Sean Spicer interview will almost get lost in the mix.
Between Liam Neeson’s comments on the #MeToo movement and that bizarre bin segment, nobody could have guessed that Tubridy’s chat with Trump’s former press secretary would comparatively barely register.
The interview went on for 21 minutes (comparatively, that bin segment went on for 16 minutes, for some reason), and if you missed it, here were some of the “highlights”, such as talking about agreeing with Trump’s Border Wall:
His personal reaction to the leaked Trump tapes with Billy Bush involving sexually aggressive comments against women:
And the fallout he experienced having made the statement that Hitler never used chemical weapons:

While nobody was expecting Spicer to come out of the interview smelling of roses, the only reaction did practically come to his defence, with many finding Tubridy’s interview style to be outwardly antagonistic from the get go:
Disgraceful interview with @seanspicer by Ryan Tubridy on the #latelateshow #latelate.
He is clearly hostile to his guest and is totally unprofessional, acting as if he is a prosecutor.

Wish Tubridy was this robust with Clinton dragging out every embarrassing gaff on video. I doubt she'd have been as gracious as Spicer #LateLateShow

I'm not a fan of Trump (not a fan at all), but that was a totally one sided interview with Spicer…..he deserved a better interview than that.
You can't be that much to one side, Tubridy had an agenda there. #LateLateShow

Spicer is a likeable dude despite Tubridy’s efforts to humiliate him. Terrible from Tubridy. #LateLate #LateLateShow

Tubridy grills Spicer more than any Irish politician he’s ever interviewed and the audience clap along as if he’s a hero. #LateLateShow #seanspicer

Tubridy couldn’t wait to finish that interview. Sean spicer gave him nothing and was definitely the winner there. Tubridy and rte were out for blood and didn’t get a sniff. #latelateshow

Once again Tubridy shows up his mediocrity, bias and agenda as an interviewer. Sean Spicer ran rings round him. #latelateshow
