I've been a big fan of Rob Scheider (j/k about the name thing), since he first appeared on SNL. He's worked steadily for decades and has five movies currently in post-production. Oh yeah, and he was born in San Francisco...
I thought he handled himself very well under the circumstances.
The hosts were douchebags that obviously wanted to rag on him, and had few if any set-up questions or jokes. Rob was having to feed them material to riff on, and they totally missed the opportunity, instead trying to boost themselves at Rob's expense by dissing anything he had to say.
They had a chance to make funny and be entertaining with a bona fide star, and they totally blew it.
Well, at least everyone involved got some media play out of it, so no biggy.
