Bill Geddie’s Sad Lecture
Bill Geddie’s Sad Lecture
Early in the show, Howard recalled his recent visit to ‘The View’–and the “keep it clean” lecture he got from producer Bill Geddie: “I felt like, ‘Wow, I’m a little kid. They have to bring me in a room and I have be yelled at by Dad.’ … [but] the guy wanted to give me a lecture. Obviously somebody had put him up to it.” Even worse, Bill chose the worst possible time: “They made sure everybody was around when I got my lecture. Nobody was kicked out of the room for my humiliation.” In a clip of the lecture, Howard mercifully cut Bill off, telling him they wouldn’t need the delay: “Bill, you won’t need it. I’m not taking my penis out.” Bill then snapped: “Let me start again.” Howard said he understood Bill was under pressure from the network’s lawyers, but thought he’d handled it poorly: “I wanted to leave right then and there.”
