[Behar:] Jimmy Fallon and a senior VP at NBC have apologized to Michele Bachmann for playing the song "Lying` Ass Bitch" during her recent late night appearance but she was disappointed in their apology. Has the network done enough or should they try to pray the song away? With me now to talk about this and other pop culture stories in the news are Joe Levy pop culture commentator; Nancy Travis, actress of the "Last Man Standing"; and comedian Rich Vos. Ok guys. You know she wants an apology from the President of
[Nbc. Joe Levy, Pop Culture Commentator:] Right.
[Behar:] It`s not enough the VP. Should she get it?
[Levy:] I don`t see why. She`s gotten an official apology from NBC brass. Who cares how high up the chain it goes. She`s right to ask for an apology from someone other than Jimmy Fallon, who tweeted his apology
[Behar:] Right.
[Levy:] which isn`t quite enough. You know I think if you know the writing out something on stationary still counts.
[Behar:] Yes.
[Levy:] Still counts and picking up the phone still counts.
[Behar:] Well, tweeting though, but tweeting is public so everybody knows.
[Levy:] Tweeting is public but his apology was a little underplayed. He`s Questlove is totally grounded is how his apology ended. See it would suggest he sees the humor in the whole thing and it is humorous. This is an obscure fishbone song that no one would have recognize if Questlove himself hadn`t tweet that they were playing a sneaky song.
[Behar:] What do you think?
[Rich Vos, Comedian:] Well, first of all nobody uses stationary. Why doesn`t he just send a telegraph, ok? Have Kevin Costner ride it over on a pony. Here is the thing, first of all, the band, they`re real rabble rousers, real Jim Morrison and the Doors. Big deal, they played a dumb song. I didn`t even know Jimmy Fallon was still on the air.
[Behar:] Yes he is. He`s a hit.
[Vos:] I know he`s a hit. He`s likable. That`s why I could say it because he`s a hit.
[Behar:] Right that`s right.
[Vos:] That I think she should get an apology from Obama that why I think.
[Nancy Travis, Actress:] I think she has an apology.
[Behar:] Ok Nancy, she`s yes.
[Travis:] I mean, just to put an end to it.
[Behar:] Yes, she`s claiming it`s sexism. But this is a woman who votes against health care, day care and the right to choose your rights as a woman to choose abortion if you choose it.
[Travis:] Right.
[Behar:] She votes against all female issues, as far as I can see and yet she`s saying its sexist. There`s a little bit of conundrum, what have you.
[Travis:] Double standard, yes. Yes.
[Behar:] What do you think about that?
[Vos:] That`s the type of girl I want to marry.
[Travis:] Well, I don`t think it`s sexist. I I think it`s a it`s it`s just rude.
[Vos:] Yes.
[Travis:] I mean, she`s a celebrity, she comes on.
[Behar:] I mean, and yes.
[Levy:] This is typical right-wing stuff, which is I stand for one thing, I say one thing but if you attack me, now I`m going to flip the position.
[Behar:] Right.
[Levy:] So I`m Herman Cain, there is no more racism in America and unless you attack me in which case it`s a high-tech lynching.
[Behar:] That`s right.
[Levy:] So Michele Bachmann there is no more sexism unless you attack me in which case it`s sexism and elitism and it`s the liberal media.
[Behar:] Well said. Let`s move on.
[Vos:] Ok, good.
[Behar:] Last Friday erupted violence this weekend as customers all across the country got mugged, pepper sprayed and even shot at. I haven`t seen crowds this hostile since the last GOP debate, have you. I mean, what do you think about what`s going on?
[Vos:] I`ll tell you I think it`s I think it`s good advertisement for pepper spray.
[Behar:] Yes.
[Vos:] You know protests, assaults, Black Friday, pepper spray, we`re there for you. You know what I mean?
[Levy:] I did my turkey in Thanksgiving with pepper spray. And it turned out great. It`s a very spicy turkey.
[Travis:] I`m just bombed that that woman got caught, I sent her in to get that X-Box.
[Behar:] Did you go shopping on Friday?
[Travis:] I did not. I don`t leave the house.
[Behar:] I mean, I think it`s insane.
[Travis:] No, no, it`s crazy.
[Behar:] They made a record breaking $52.4 billion.
[Levy:] So the economy is safe.
[Behar:] Wow.
[Levy:] The economy is safe and Obama will be re-elected. This is great news? That`s worth a little fighting isn`t it.
[Travis:] It`s a brilliant marketing tool. You go out and don`t even need anything. And it`s a frenzy, whatever that person has, you have to have it.
[Levy:] Yes, they`re advertising Black Friday deals for a week leading up to Black Friday. Are they surprised that people are in a frenzy?
[Behar:] No. I know. Ok. We`re going to take a break, we`ll come back. I have a story about Angelina Jolie that`s kind of interesting. Stay there.
[Unidentified Male:] Still to come, a look back at one of Joy`s favorite interviews from the past two years, with TV legend, Carol Burnett.
