Hard to keep up, pun intended. Apparently Tambor had no problem behaving ‘out of character’.
Nora O’Donnell and Gail King were heard to mutter in the hallway, “You? No. Me neither. What are we, chopped liver?’

Quote:8 women accuse television host Charlie Rose of sexual harassment

At least eight women said they were sexually harassed by Charlie Rose while employed by or trying to secure a job at the longtime television host’s show, the Washington Post reported Monday.
The allegations span decades, according to the Post, and come from women who ranged in age from 21 to 37 at the time of their encounters.
Some women said Rose, whose show airs on PBS, groped them or made unwanted sexual advances. Others described lewd phone calls in which Rose shared his sexual fantasies.
A PBS spokesperson told the PBS NewsHour that “PBS was shocked to learn” about “these deeply disturbing allegations,” and that it would immediately suspend distribution of Rose’s show.
“’Charlie Rose’ is produced by Charlie Rose, Inc., an independent television production company.
PBS does not fund this nightly program or supervise its production, but we expect our producers to provide a workplace where people feel safe and are treated with dignity and respect,” the spokesperson said.
In a statement to the Post, Rose said “it is essential that these women know I hear them and that I deeply apologize for my inappropriate behavior. I am greatly embarrassed. I have behaved insensitively at times, and I accept responsibility for that, though I do not believe that all of these allegations are accurate.” (Read Rose’s full statement here).
The allegations come on the heels of sweeping accusations of sexual misconduct by powerful figures across industries, from government to Hollywood. On Monday morning, journalist Glenn Thrush was suspended by the New York Times after young female journalists accused him of inappropriate sexual behavior.
This weekend, the actor Jeffrey Tambor announced he would leave his leading role in the Amazon series “Transparent,” weeks after the company began an investigation into claims of sexual harassment by Tambor on set. (Amazon Studios chief Roy Price resigned last month over similar accusations).
