This is one to watch through your fingers.
James Van Der Beek, who first shot to fame as the star of Dawson’s Creek, was on This Morning with Holly and Phillip. The interview did not get off to a good start, and that’s putting it lightly.
It all went wrong when Holly and Philip did one of the worst intros for a guest ever. They described all of James’ co-stars from Dawson’s Creek, saying that Katie Holmes is now a leading Hollywood actress and explaining how Michelle Williams has received four Oscar nominations.
Then, instead of remarking how well James has done since leaving the show, they said: “But what happened to the main man himself. He’s here now and that’s what he looks like.”
The camera cuts to James who does not look happy, replying: “I have been on television for the last 20 years.”
They then chat awkwardly about Dawson’s Creek and it keeps getting worse.
You could cut the tension with a knife.
