Laura Ingraham Behind The Scenes Video: Angry At Producers, Thinks She Looks Shiny

Laura Ingraham gets the Katie Couric treatment as Harry Shearer's MyDamnChannel posts another of its now-famous "Found Objects" series. The video, seen below, is a compilation of behind the scenes footage from the first few weeks of Ingraham's Fox News program, "Just In." In the clips, Ingraham is seen regularly getting angry with producers and the staff — however, it should be noted, her complaints seem largely within reason, and it's the Fox News staff that comes off looking worse than the host.

I keep waiting for Laura "Don't Come In My Ear" Ingraham to finish her on-air meltdown with an O'Reilly-esque, "F__ it! We'll do it live!" Instead she opts, crucifix prominently displayed on her chest, to repeatedly invoke the Lord's name in vain during her toxic invective. The penultimate Fox personality.

Totally joyless. Why does this woman do this? It is obvious she hates her inept underlings and the show - understandable, considering we're talking FoxNews here - but WHY do it? She makes me cringe with her ill-tempered disdain for the fools around her, and I'm sorry, but if the production quality is as bad as she makes it out to be, she should not be working there. It would be interesting to know what she's like elsewhere, because this looked to me like her permanent state.

This is by far the most Human-like Ms. Ingraham has ever appeared to me.

Why, now I suspect she may even be a DNA-based life form!

This makes me like her. That's how I act.

I understand she holds some kind of record for drinking Cosmopolitans before passing out. What was her final score?

She's out of control.

I'll never be able to enjoy her show again after seeing this.

She obviously needs a strong authoritative figure to hand hold and coach her through every second of a program. Looks like Laura has more than a few Daddy issues. It is to her credit though that she landed a career in broadcasting given her hanging lantern jaw and grating kermit voice which struggles to project past her big teeth and thick tonsils.

I'm not a fan of hers but that clip IMO showed that FOXNews staffing is incompetent. At least she wasn't screaming, "WE'LL DO IT LIVE!!!!!! WE'LL DO IT LIVE!!!!! *&%#$ IT!!!!"

Why is someone that is so attractive also simultaneously completely unattractive. My experience is that you can get much better results with people by talking to them with respect rather than rolling your eyes and constantly whining.
I find her intolerable in most every way.
But she is great on the eyes..

Its actually a pretty interesting video in terms of an insight into this high pressure job. Sounds like a new team getting off the ground with some growing pains. Laura comes across as more than competent but will probably end up having to buy her share of donuts to smooth things over for a while.

since she's always angry on the air- you may mean she got more angry. her teeth are clenched for minutes on the air.

I kinda feel for her working wish a bunch of incompetents. It seems to be "the Fox way."

While I disagree a lot with Ingraham, I don't see her coming off bad at all on this video.

I wouldn't want a camera and mic capturing all of the conversations I have with employees and managers (outside of the customer view of course) when things are jacked up and I am trying to get things sorted out with a few minutes prior to engaging with a customer and trying to nail down exactly what we want to say.

She comes across professional, yes frustrated at times - but honestly in a corporate environment (any corporation) if you aren't at times frustrated trying to get things done you just don't really care about the quality of the job being done.

Malicious spin takes serious preparations (remember Colin Power's UN speech?). It is much easier to tell the truth with pure heart. Mother Theresa never needed any preparations.
