In the age of YouTube pranks, we so sincerely wanted the interviewer in the following clip to break character at the end and say “we got you!”
Then Orange Is The New Black stars Uzo Aduba, Natasha Lyonne and Samira Wiley (Crazy Eyes, Nicky and Poussey) could all have a good laugh, knowing the absurdly sexist interview they’d just endured was all in good fun.
But no such luck.
Aduba, for instance, was asked “Don’t you think that in the series you really need a guy inside the prison with you, doing things that just one guy can be able to do?”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
She tries explaining that there are, uh, guys on the show.
“‘I’m talking about guys, men. Want to see my muscles?” he responds.
Lyonne eventually calls the spade out, saying, “I feel like it’s accidentally maybe a little bit mysoginistic, because it’s like ‘You’re so beautiful! What’s it like having to do all that acting?’ I can’t tell if that’s the question, but if it is it’s insane.”
Watch the uncomfortable mess below:

I met Ms. Lyonne a few times as part of the press tour for Peaches Christ’s “Touch of Evil” a few years ago. She’s super-fun but not someone I’d want to piss off or to whom I’d have to apologize.
Hi Peaches! Miss you, sweetheart!

What a weirdo?!

sometimes the point of the interview is to provoke a celebrity into walking out or yelling – which is more of a story than watching them pimp their boring ass tv show. Last one I saw was a guy who provoked that Iron Man star to walk-out and he was the same interviewer who had previous provoked some other celebrity.
I have never seen this Laverne Cazzo in a scene and I hope never to see Orange is the New Black

It seems like the interviewer was trying to stir the pot so he could get attention for himself and get his name out there. Mission accomplished.

Wait. Didn’t he imply it must be difficult for them to keep from fighting each other when they’re having their periods? Is the what women have to put up with from men in his country? He was so patronizing. They handled it like real pros and he ended the interview when he saw he was outgunned.

Brazilian TV is not for the faint at heart

The guy was a complete asshole and the cast was very restrained in its response. I think Lea DeLaria would ripped him a new one and justifiably so.

Please tell me this guy was aiming for humour and unfortunately failed at it, instead of being seriously so sexist?
Richard Taticek
That was a joke right?
James Owen Donnahoe
What an idiot.

You guys need a captain. Someone in the comments guessed right. CQC is a spanish program where their interviewers and reporters try to shame or ridicule politicians and such. I know of and Argentinian and a Chilean version of it, and this is in Portuguese so it should be either Portugal or Brazil. They usually fail like this.

He needs to be fired.

Do you not get that he is interviewing them for a comedy show in Brazil? Jesus man!? The guy got the exact reaction that he wanted from them, so I would say that he did a good job and the interview was a success.

@MarionPaige: Interesting theory, but this guy just looked like an idiot.
Then you implied the show was boring, and that you hope you never see it.
Well, you’ve never seen it, so you don’t actually know how talented these actresses actually are.
As for Iron Man, the interviewer brought up his PAST drug use and about his father, something he already asked not to be brought up. It’s the interviewers job to respect who they are interviewing, otherwise they never come back, their friends might not go on the show, etc.
It would just be a dumb thing to do.

@parrjj01: The guy is a comedian, he was supposed to look like an idiot. It’s no different than Stephen Colbert or Jimmy Fallen trying to provoke stars in one of their sketches. Just because he is from a different country and you not knowing him doesn’t automatically make him bad. He did his job and made HIS AUDIENCE back in Brazil laugh. The only big thing about this story is that blond actress who seems like a douchebag, thought the guy was actually being serious and talked like a feminazi to the guy. Both of the black ladies were pretty chill and clearly suspected he was just not being serious. Like….who would produce a video with special effect sounds poking fun on both what the interviewer is saying and the ladies, plus the video was uploaded on the official YouTube channel for that show. And if you check other videos where he interviews other actors and actresses from both Brazil and other countries he makes jokes and says inappropriate things for the laughs (similar to any comedian in the US)
As for that English channel interviewer who was interviewing the Iron Man, he was being serious, rude and inconsiderate, not this Brazilian guy.
