ABC
Liam Neeson felt uncomfortable during an interview with The View. The Marlowe actor appeared on daytime talk show ABC on February 15 and wasn’t impressed with his segment.
“I was in the dressing room having a cup of tea and turning on the TV and I was like oh this is going to be great. You talk about gun violence in America, and I agree that it’s an American problem,” he told Rolling Stone in an interview. “I go on stage and join the ladies at intermission and I congratulated them on this discussion.”
Neeson continued, “And then our segment starts and it’s just all this shit with Joy [Behar] and Liam Neeson and I have a crush and I’ve known Whoopi for years and Joy a little but I just wasn’t impressed. I feel uncomfortable in situations like this, you know?”
However, Neeson said he “had a little chat” with former prosecutor Sunny Hostin “afterward,” and called it an “intelligent conversation.”
“But then the segment is all about this – phew – thirteen, fourteen year old crush. It’s just a little bit embarrassing,” he added.
Earlier in the interview, Behar hinted that they talk about Neeson so much on the show, which prompted co-host Ana Navarro to correct her, saying, “You talk about him so much.”
“Oh shut up, don’t blow my cover,” Behar quipped, while Alyssa Farah Griffin joked, saying that the comedian wanted to be “taken” by the actor.
Behar later joked that she got a late Valentine’s Day card from Neeson but would find out he gave everyone one. Hostin added that “he wrote something very special on mine,” and joked that Behar’s note was generic. Navarro asked Neeson to add another heart to Behar’s card so it would be special.
The show then promoted a supercut of all the times Behar mentioned Neeson on the show, often joking about having her ashes scattered over him and being “turned on” by the Taken films.
“They got the checks, right,” Neeson joked right after the clips, which left Behar speechless and jokingly called producer Brian Teta for making her “embarrassed.”
At the end of Neeson’s segment during block two, Behar repeated his infamous line from Taken: “I’m going to find you and kill you.”
Neeson then said, “Oh Joy, cut it out. Do not you have anything else to do!”
As the co-hosts laughed, Whoopi wrapped up the segment by jokingly saying she was “scared” to invite him back because of all the chaos Neeson was provoking among the co-hosts.
