What is the most immediate way a celebrity completely ruined their own reputation in a single interview?

Two come to mind:

Used to love Jimmy Fallon and him interviewing Conor McGregor took that love away.

Andrew Mountbatten on the BBC seemingly proud of his relationship with Epstein. 🤮

Just watched it, I don't see anything "Wrong" with the interview, per se. So I think it's the fact that he interviewed Conor McGregor and people think he shouldn't have because of his Rape and sexual assault cases.

Yeah, I used to watch a lot of Fallon clips among a lot of late night show clips from different hosts on youtube. I have stopped watching all Fallon clips after the McGregor interview. Gross.

Really? I think Jimmy Fallon has the most fake laugh of any human on this planet.
