When asked some pretty basic questions by what many are calling incompetent red carpet interviewers, Applegate came back with some pretty savage responses, and social media is going wild. Want to see what went down? Read on.
Many complained that the red-carpet interviewers this year seemed particularly wooden and unprepared – and it was Applegate, of all people, who chose to call them out.
Jenny McCarthy. The Fox host got off to a bad start when chatting to Applegate on the red carpet.
For reference, McCarthy is one year younger than Applegate.
Trying to act like she watched her on television when she was a little girl is, at best, a not-so-subtle attempt at throwing shade, and, at worse, an example of how under-researched McCarthy was.
McCarthy then asked Applegate how it felt to be nominated for Lead Actress for the first time.
The problem is, it wasn’t – she’s been nominated multiple times for Samantha Who? – and wasn’t afraid to remind McCarthy.
She quickly moved on to her next victim, E! News interviewer, Giuliana Rancic.
When asked if she wanted to say hello to her daughter, Applegate calmly stated that she doesn’t watch E! Ouch.
People of the internet have gone wild for Applegate’s straight-to-the-point method of trolling.
Have you ever seen anything quite so uncomfortable?
It looks like Applegate would rather be anywhere else but here.
The way that the interviewers seemed so insincere and underprepared for one of the biggest television events of the year means they really deserve what’s coming to them.
Perhaps next year, Applegate will be nominated for best comedy performance for this very moment.
Her insistent claim to be so much younger than Applegate isn’t just rude – it’s easily contested and only serves to make McCarthy look stupid.
McCarthy doesn’t have a great reputation in terms of making smart decisions, after all…
Maybe this is why Applegate is nominated for an Emmy while McCarthy is interviewing her, hey?
Racuc’s interview style was also under fire – and likely it’s Applegate’s interview that cemented peoples’ opinions.
Although it wasn’t totally Applegate’s night.
Yet again, she lost the Emmy – meaning she’s still without one under her belt.
But we’re sure that her year will come. She deserves it!
We never knew it before, but being roasted by Christina Applegate is now up there along with our other biggest (and most irrational) fears.
Sure, she’s pretty brutal – but only to those who absolutely deserve it.
People out there are realizing that they’ve been Christina Applegate stans all along.
And if you haven’t yet watched her amazing Netflix show, keep scrolling to learn everything you need to know.
