TV presenter won't interview celebs who ban certain subjects
Saturday, 6 October 2007
Michael Parkinson says he will only let celebs come on his show if he can ask them whatever he likes.
The chat show host, 72, says that if a star gets choosy about the questions they are to answer, he won’t book them – no matter how famous they are.
‘[That's] why it took Madonna a long time to come on the show,’ he tells the Daily Express.
‘First of all her people were saying: “You can’t ask her this or that,” and I said: “Sorry, unless I can ask her want I want, there’s no sense in having her on.”
‘Eventually, when I did [interview Madonna], they said: “You can ask what you like,” and there was no problem at all.’
As Michael’s iconic chat show draws to a close at the end of this year, he continues to tempt big stars onto the sofa - including Annie Lennox, Jennifer Lopez and Dame Diana Rigg.
