George Stephanopoulos may pride himself on being a hard news journalist, but on Thursday’s Good Morning America, he created an awkward moment while interviewing actor Dylan McDermott about his new comedy, The Candidate, starring Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis.
As the two sat on directors’ chairs, in a relaxed atmopshere outside in Time’s Square surrounded by a crowd, Stephanopoulos abruptly switched subjects at approximately 3-minutes into what had been a lighthearted interview and asked McDermott about the murder of his mother.
Said Stephanopoulos: “You know there’s something that’s been in the news lately… I know you can’t say much about it, but your mom was murdered forty five years ago.. you were just 5-years-old.. and just recently, with your help the case was finally solved and reached a conclusion. Is there anything at all you can say about it? I’d imagine that its at least brought you some peace.”
