So where was Barbara Walters' teary sit down interview with Caitlyn Jenner?
Walters dubbed Jenner 2015's most fascinating person of the year, but
unlike the other nine people the newswoman honored, the transgender
former Olympian did not talk to her.
Caitlyn Jenner was named Barbara Walters' most fascinating person.
Until that moment, Walters' 23rd annual "10 Most Fascinating People"
ABC special had made some waves. In new, recently taped interviews, the
newswoman gabbed with comedian Amy Schumer about her sex life, and
asked Hollywood star Bradley Cooper how he went from being described by
movie industry execs as "unf---able" to "the sexiest man alive."
Walters had even craftily teased the moment leading up to the show,
raising eyebrows when she noted in a "GMA" interview that Cooper was
"very screwable."
Other interviews were also memorable.
After revealing to Walters what the newswoman said was "far too much"
about her sex life, Schumer addressed the horrific July shooting in a
Louisiana movie theater during a screening of her blockbuster film
"Trainwreck."
"Knowing it was my movie, I did feel some distant sense of responsibility," Schumer said.
Two people were killed and nine were wounded in the attack when a
gunman, identified as 59-year-old John Russel Houser fired at least 13
times from a handgun about 20 minutes into the film.
Typically bloviating Donald Trump was also on Walters' list. The GOP
frontrunner said he sometimes carries a gun and vowed to beat Hillary
Clinton. And then the controversial, name-calling billionaire declared
that if he loses his bid for the White House he's a "loser."
But his bluster seemed tiresome at this point as it's been seen day in
and day out since last June when he declared his run for the White
House.
Others lauded by Walters included Amazon chief Jeff Bezos, Clinton's
Democratic party rival Bernie Sanders, comedian Tracy Morgan (who showed
off scars on his head from the 2014 car accident that left him in a
coma for eight days), designer Donna Karan, American Ballet Theater
principal dancer Misty Copeland and former UFC champion Ronda Rousey.
