“I love the guy, but he’s not good on talk shows,” confessed Rosie O\u2019Donnell, when asked about her best and worst interviewees.<\/h2>\n
Rosie O\u2019Donnell<\/strong><\/a> is opening up about a few of her celebrity guests — and named a surprising someone as one of her “worst.”<\/p>\n O’Donnell appeared on Sam Pang Tonight in Australia this week, where the comedian reflected back on her iconic talk show, The Rosie O\u2019Donnell Show.<\/p>\n When asked for details about the many celebs she interviewed throughout her show’s run, she named Barbra Streisand<\/strong><\/a> as her favorite — but shockingly gave the “worst guest” title to none other than Keanu Reeves<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cOne of the worst, who, I love the guy, but he’s not good on talk shows: Keanu Reeves,” she declared.<\/p>\n According to O’Donnell, despite being “sweet,” and looking “gorgeous,” Reeves “would not answer a question,” she explained. “I’d say, ‘So, Keanu, how’s it going? How are you feeling?’ [He’d respond] ‘Good.’ We were live. We couldn’t retape. I finally said after three minutes, ‘You know, Keanu, it is a talk show. You have to talk.'”<\/p>\n In 1997, the actor stopped by her famous program to promote his film, Devil’s Advocate, but after a few, briefly-answered replies, O\u2019Donnell joked that “it’s a talk show. We’ve got to ask questions.”<\/p>\n Youtube comments pointed out Reeves\u2019 “shy” and “adorable” demeanor throughout the interview, and how the comedian was able to encourage him to feel more at ease. “She is a master!\u201d said another comment.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Rosie O’Donnell Recalls ‘Very Painful’ End of Ellen DeGeneres Friendship: ‘I Felt Very Betrayed’ – Click image for related story<\/p>\n \u201cYou don\u2019t do a lot of these shows do you?
