Pat O’Brien Accuses Co-Host Of Making People Want To “Vomit”

Sure, Pat O’Brien thinks his job is giving us the latest in Kelly Ripa‘s hair color, but really what he’s good for is going batsh*t insane. The Insider host was in to Iowa to cover Joe Biden on the campaign trail, and while there he sent this scathing email back to the staffers on his show and Entertainment Tonight:

“Hi, folks, I just spent a couple of days in Iowa – I’m a little bit of a favorite son there – and I spoke with maybe a thousand people and was very hands-on. Even Joe Biden said, ‘You should be running (for president)!’ But what I came away with was, these people can’t afford gas, books, food or schools or movies! …I tried to tell them we care, but they didn’t buy it. They wanted to, but watching Anya and Lara [Spencer] pick out accessories makes the viewers want to vomit. I’ll get killed for this, but I’m actually the one not afraid for my job. I want people to be happy.”

O’Brien was referring to a part of the show where co-host Lara Spencer and her stylist pick out affordable accessories and outfits, which a source says is “a very popular segment.” Pat later said of the email: “I just raged against the machine. We can change the world.” Yes. One accessories segment at a time, apparently. [Photo: FilmMagic]
