Richard Gere Flips Off Host on Live TV: It’s a Right Royal Mess!

Richard Gere caused a stir on the ‘Today’ show by flipping off host Savannah Guthrie during a live interview while promoting his new thriller. His gesture came after a clip omitted a key moment, leading to a humorous exchange amid apologies. This came right after Cher dropped the ‘F’ bomb on the same show, raising questions about the morning show’s current chaotic vibe.

In a live broadcast that could only be described as the morning show equivalent of a soap opera, Richard Gere decided to get a bit too comfortable on the ‘Today’ show by flipping the bird at host Savannah Guthrie. During his appearance to promote his new thriller, “The Agency,” Gere was miffed that a clip omitted a rather colourful moment and, well, his middle finger felt the need to stand in for him. “You didn’t show (it), but that’s what I did in the piece,” he declared with unapologetic flair, showcasing his vibrant sense of expression.

Savannah, maintaining her professionalism amid this finger fiasco, reacted promptly, saying, “You just did an obscene gesture on this family morning show. I’m bleeping you!” The segment was then graced with Gere’s precise hand signal – uncensored at first, but gracefully blurred out in subsequent views. Gere later expressed his regret, yet remained firm on the crucial nature of his animated delivery, stating, “I could see that, but it didn’t make any sense without that. My hand did that, I have no control!”

This cheeky incident followed hot on the heels of Cher dropping the ‘F’ bomb on the same show, leaving the crew in stitches and the audience in shock. “You know, Cher was on here doing an F-bomb yesterday, so I don’t know what’s happening!” added Guthrie, perhaps pondering if the producers had suddenly mistaken ‘Today’ for a late-night special.

Richard Gere, an alumnus of North Syracuse High School (class of ’67), has been dazzling audiences with his performances in films like “Pretty Woman” and is now set to return to our screens in “The Agency,” premiering on the 29th of November. Just think, from flipping off hosts to grace our screens, this is the classic journey of a Hollywood heartthrob!

Hollywood has long been a playground of both professionalism and unpredictability, and Richard Gere’s latest antics on the NBC ‘Today’ show reminded us all that even morning news can see some juicy drama. Accustomed to the glamour of his stellar career, Gere’s gesture may well reflect a growing trend amongst celebrities to ditch stiff collars in favour of ‘real talk’. This incident didn’t occur in isolation; it followed shortly after another star, Cher, had a verbal slip-up of her own, indicating that perhaps the morning show circuit is going through a spicy renaissance. All hail live television!

In summary, Richard Gere’s cheeky middle finger during an otherwise tame morning show has sparked reactions and laughs all around. Coupled with Cher’s recent outburst, it’s clear that the ‘Today’ show is stepping up its game in terms of chaotic celebrity moments. As viewers eagerly await Gere’s new thriller, perhaps they’ll reflect on the fine line between polite promotion and finger-flashing fun. Who knew daytime TV could be this thrilling?
