Being a PA on a TV show means you might get called on to run any number of random errands. However, one assistant on The View really had to go above and beyond the call of duty last week. Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the worst interviewer on television, was going to do a “hot topic” segment about how she disapproves of some stores carrying low-cut panties for little girls. [Elisabeth has a two-year-old daughter, Grace.] That meant a poor PA–who happened to be male–had to run around Manhattan kids’ stores trying to find a pair of this low-cut underwear that Hasselbeck could hold up during her segment. He managed to find a pair, but I’m curious how many stores thought he was a creepy pedophile and followed him around the store?
The worst part of this whole ordeal? The only reason this story is known is because the cohosts talked and laughed about it on air during a special “backstage on The View” episode. It figures that a woman who was basically handed a major network broadcasting job despite her only TV experience having been a contestant on a reality show wouldn’t understand the value of the hard work other people do in order to make her stupid self look good.
