    Meghan Markle’s Attention-Seeking Antics, Tiger Woods Shock DUI Footage, and Hoda Kotb's Fake Grief

    Maureen Callahan is joined by body language expert Mark Bowden to break down some of the most eyebrow-raising moments playing out in the media right now, starting with Meghan Markle’s appearance at the Alliance for Children’s Rights gala, where they analyze her attention-seeking behavior, from awkward physical interactions to a head-scratching TikTok. They then turn to the disturbing bodycam footage from Tiger Woods’ March 27th DUI arrest, zeroing in on the most telling moments and raising serious questions about his condition and overall demeanor. They also take on Hoda Kotb’s emotional “Today Show” interview with Savannah Guthrie, unpacking her exaggerated and manufactured displays of grief, from calculated expressions to overly performative reactions. Maureen then dives into Troublemaker feedback, before ripping into “The View” for its coverage of Tiger Woods’ DUI arrest, calling out the panel for downplaying reckless behavior and turning a serious public safety issue into a baffling show of celebrity sympathy.
