Well, now we know why Oprah and her staff were so surprised by his responses.

 

[Dibbz]

HOW MANY ADS DOES US TV HAVE?? FUCKING SHIT. PISS OFF.

 

[Kareha]

How many ad breaks oO

 

[entremet]

Man, what a trainwreck. He looks worse now lol.

 

[linsivvi]

Uhhh.....
(turns his head left) Not....
(turns his head right) Good.

I am dying here.

 

[dalVlatko]

I don't want to give him any more attention but damn I can't look away from this

so fucking crazy that he is laughing at some of this shit

"yeah i ruined their lives LOL"

 

[MormaPope]

Lance......Lance is a weird dude. I mean, he's wearing what looks like a yellow rubber livestrong bracelet. I don't think that'll make anyone think positive thoughts at this point.

 

[UrokeJoe]

Oprah is actually bringing it. I thought she would go soft.

 

[MalevolentPanda]

Is this number of ads what you guys always have to put up with? It's mental.

I'm pleased he's coming across quite as badly as he is, even with the calculated lies.

 

[BertramCooper]

How do you think they managed to pad this shit out for two nights?

No. This is way more than any normal television show.

 

[Ollie Pooch]

His responses are just making it worse! I love right when he looks like he's digging himself out she brings a new video clip for maximum awkwardness.

I suppose there's no way to actually watch this from Europe, right? :/

It's streaming http://ownspecial.oprah.com/lancearmstrong.html

[akira28]

sounds like Oprah set the stage and knew that Lance was providing the show.

 

[Caturro]

I can't believe all the people that basically excuse all of his actions because of Livestrong and the half billion dollars he allegedly has helped raise for them over the years... as if Livestrong now wasn't in danger of disappearing because of this whole mess...

 

[bishoptl]

There's no better place for the seven Tour de France's trophies than in Oprah's cabinet.

Agreed. I can't believe I ever doubted her willingness to go in on this fool. What a bastard.

 

[Zaph]

"I'm not going to talk about that 40min conversation, but here's this funny joke I said!"

He has no self awareness.

The steam posted up thread can be watched by all. The interview is available internationally.

 

[Dynamite Shikoku]

Armstrong comes across as a real psycho

 

[Big Baybee]

I never understood why people thought Oprah was going to softball this dude. Oprah is fucking COLDBLOODED.

 

[entremet]

Oprah has never been known for being soft to be honest. Interview wise.

 

[Cloudy]

Avoiding to not comment on what andrea said about him while she over heard him in the hospital... sad that he aint coming clean.

He lied under oath. Can't admit to that

 

[sfedai0]

This would be a whole lot easier if he would truly open up. Having to hem and haw his way through this is so painful.

 

[MormaPope]

Is this number of ads what you guys always have to put up with? It's mental.

I'm pleased he's coming across quite as badly as he is, even with the calculated lies.

Usually ads pop up every 8 or 9 minutes on American TV, commercials last for 4 or 5 minutes. That's for 30 minute long television, movies or shows that last an hour have a different but similar structure. HBO and paid premium channels don't have any ads.

 

[TheSeks]

I'm not even interested in cycling all that much, but damn this is good TV.

Yep, reading the transcript is pretty riveting in how he's dodging some of these questions.

 

[Yagharek]

Oprah has never been known for being soft to be honest. Interview wise.

Yeah, she is friendly and seen as such by her audience. That's part of her appeal. But look out if your at the end of an interview for something controversial. Must be some real disarming charm she has.

 

[Ollie Pooch]

It's far better watching it!

 

[Row]

I can't believe all the people that basically excuse all of his actions because of Livestrong and the half billion dollars he allegedly has helped raise for them over the years... as if Livestrong now wasn't in danger of disappearing because of this whole mess...

Than that's a lot of people who don't know what livestrong really is about. It's just a brand designed to sell shit for profit, with some cancer "awareness" thrown in

 

[Chichikov]

Yeah, Oprah might want to stay away from Newtonian metaphors.

 

[jett]

This guy is a true piece of shit.

I see zero remorse in his face. Truly, a mad cunt.

 

[Joel Was Right]

FourFourTom: Still no word on if Lance Armstrong's going to admit to faking the moon landing.

 

[MormaPope]

With these current charges, could Lance get prison time? It would be very interesting to see if he would admit and out other people involved with this whole shebang to reduce his sentencing.

 

[Kareha]

FourFourTom: Still no word on if Lance Armstrong's going to admit to faking the moon landing.

Looooooooooooool

 

[Mr. Enigma]

With these current charges, could Lance get prison time? It would be very interesting to see if he would admit and out other people involved with this whole shebang to reduce his sentencing.

It's been too long since his Congressional hearings. The statute of limitations has expired.

How can you tell when each "segment" last like 5 seconds. Seriously what is with these fucking breaks.

 

[sfedai0]

So it was his massively over inflated ego that would eventually doom him. If he hadnt attempted that comeback, he would still be the revered king.

 

[Cipherr]

It's been too long since his Congressional hearings. The statute of limitations has expired.

Wish there was a backdoor for exceptions. Unbelievable shit here.

 

[BruiserBear]

I think it's worth pointing our that Lance's former teammates were quick to name him when they got caught.

I respect the fact that he's not taking that route here.

 

[MalevolentPanda]

With these current charges, could Lance get prison time?

He's definitely committed perjury multiple times so he could and should get prison time for that but hasn't been charged yet.

 

[Treythalomew]

How can you tell when each "segment" last like 5 seconds. Seriously what is with these fucking breaks.

It is being shown on Oprah's channel so they have full control and know exactly what they have and what they're showing.

 

[Row]

By the power of Oprah, I'm surprised by the quality of her stream given how many must be watching

 

[robertsan21]

I think it's worth pointing our that Lance's former teammates were quick to name him when they got caught.

I respect the fact that he's not taking that route here.

Im guessing there is a lot of pressure on him to not spill the can of worms from the cyckling industry.... Doping is so widespread within this sport that its crazy. the entire sport could just get fucked if people start name dropping as most would be doped.

 

[Joel Was Right]

It feels like he's trying to hold back smiling/laughing in some parts

 

[greatestjediever]

He's definitely committed perjury multiple times so he could and should get prison time for that but hasn't been charged yet.

I think he's technically only committed perjury once, right? And now its already past the statute of limitations to try him for that.

 

[FlutterPuffs]

I think it's worth pointing our that Lance's former teammates were quick to name him when they got caught.

I respect the fact that he's not taking that route here.

Respect? Dude has destroyed fucking lives to protect his name. He might not have taken that route but he has taken worst ones against others.

 

[sangreal]

the nytimes liveblog is pretty good too: http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/20...-on-armstrongs-oprah-interview/?smid=tw-share

 

[Chichikov]

It feels like he's trying to hold back smiling/laughing in some parts

And it feels like Oprah is holding back on smacking him across the face.

 

[Cloudy]

If I'm a disgraced celeb doing one of these interviews, I negotiate so there's no tapes of my lying being played and me asked to respond. Just devastating lol

 

[yellow submarine]

This guy.... "I was treated differently"

 

[Majine]

Oprah looks disgusted.
