So Bay wrote a blog about how he embarrassed himself, but he never apologized to the audience, or to Samsung. “Then the prompter went up and down - then I walked off. “I just got so excited to talk, that I skipped over the Exec VP’s intro line and then the teleprompter got lost. In his blog, Bay said he had been too eager to speak. When Stinziano asked how the product would impact Bay’s work, the director exited the stage, apologizing. I try to take people on an emotional ride and …”
“My job, as a director, is I get to dream for a living,” he began, describing Hollywood as a place that “creates a viewer escape.”īay continued: “And what I try to do is I … uhhh, the type is all off - sorry, but I’ll just wing this.” With prompting from Samsung Executive Vice President Joe Stinziano, he went on: “We’ll wing it right now.
#MICHAEL BAY TELEPROMPT SERIES#
In a blog post on his website, the director - whose films include the “Transformers” series - wrote: “Wow! I just embarrassed myself at CES…”īay had been lending his name to Samsung’s new 105-inch curved UHD television, unveiled at the five-day CES tech conference in Las Vegas. Here’s more:īay has described getting stage fright at the Consumer Electronics Show, walking away after a teleprompter failed. Bay was promoting a new Samsung television, so he was surely paid handsomely for the appearance. (That video is above.) Bay was unable to ad-lib the conversation, got frustrated and stormed off the stage. On to our current story, which has Michael Bay getting visibly nervous and refusing to engage in on-stage banter when his teleprompter failed at the big Vegas Consumer Electronics Show. So Michael Bay’s name is synonymous with douche, and it’s hard not to view his behavior under that same douche-lens. Fox and Bay later had an ongoing media feud, with Fox comparing Bay to Napoleon and Hitler, and Bay bad-mouthing Fox’s work ethic and replacing her in subsequent Transformers sequels. The most egregious example was when we heard that Bay “auditioned” Megan Fox for Transformers by having her wash his Ferrari, at his house, while he filmed her. When we’ve covered director Michael Bay ( Transformers, Armageddon, Pain & Gain), it’s been to chronicle his epic douchebaggery.
