Oh, look, Scott wanted to sport his stupidity! There was no reason to bring up Demi Moore to begin with. But he chose to.
And then he chose to mispronounce her name. It is not DEMMY Moore. Her first name does not rhyme with Emmy. Stop being a damn idiot.
Demi's been famous since the 80s. In the 80s, Bruce Willis was on THE TONIGHT SHOW and when Johnny Carson mispronounced her name, Bruce corrected him -- good for Bruce.
The mispronouncing is so well known it was a joke in MODERN FAMILY.
Phil above, "And unless she was lying to the good ladies of THE VIEW, it's Demi, not Demmy!"
And THE VIEW gets Demi's name right every time . . . except when dumb ass Elizabeth Hasselbeck was part of THE VIEW. There's an interview, I'm not searching for it, where she gets Demi's name wrong over and over throughout the segment -- it's a segment with Demi, Alicia Keys and Jennifer Aniston as guests promoting their film FIVE.
So Scott's now Elizabbeth Hasselbeck. I first met Demi when she was doing GENERAL HOSPITAL. It took me one second to grasp how to pronounce her name. If, at this late date, you don't know how to pronounce her name, don't talk about her, don't bring her up. You're disrespectful and you're sporting your stupidity.
The video has many important things in it but I'm not posting it without calling out a host who chooses to bring up an actress who is film star and has been for decades, who was the first actress to ever be paid over $12 million dollars for a film role., someone who has produced some amazing movies including the AUSTIN POWERS franchise, MORTAL THOUGHTS (an underrated classic), IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK, GI JANE and NOW AND FOREVER, and the host can't get her name right.
Her other film credits include: GHOST, THE SEVENTH SIGN, PASSION OF THE MIND, A FEW GOOD MEN, DISCLOSURE, CHARLIE'S ANGELS FULL THROTTLE, INDECENT PROPOSAL, MARGIN CALL, WILD OATS, THE BUTCHER'S WIFE, THE JUROR, FLAWLESS, BOBBY, DECONSTRUCTING HARRY, WISDOM, ABOUT LAST NIGHT, ST. ELMO'S FIRE and her Academy Award nominated role THE SUBSTANCE.
She has acted alongside Shirley MacLaine, Jessica Lange, Robert Redford, Whoopi Goldberg, Patrick Swayze, CCH Pounder, Elizabeth Perkins, Rob Lowe, Ally Sheedy, Alec Baldwin, Michael Caine, Woody Allen, Emilio Estevez, Taraji P. Henson, Terrence Howard, Glenne Headly, Sean Penn, Robert De Niro, Michael Biehn, Ving Rhames, Parker Posey, William Hurt, Lisa Andoh, Robert Duvall, Gary Oldman, Jack Nicholson, Kevin Bacon, Tom Cruise, Morris Chestnut, Anne Bancroft, Viggo Mortensen, Melanie Griffith, Rosie O'Donnell, Anne Heche, Sinead Cusac, Kevin Kline, Rip Torn, Ellen Barkin, Stanley Tucci, Jeremy Irons, Kiefer Sutherland, Zoe Kravitz, Scarlett Johansson, Diane Lane, Billy Bob Thornton, Jon Hamm, John Candy, Jon Cryer, John Cusack, Tim Robbins, Mary Steenburgen, Frances McDormand, Harvey Keitel, Kevin Costner, James Gandolfini, Rita Wilson, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Lindsay Crouse, Lambert Wilson, Keke Palmer, Nicholas Cage, Tony Goldwyn, Tom Hollander. . .
Exactly what does she have to do at this point to get educated people to pronounce her name correctly?
