DeNiro And Pacino Reduced To Catchphrase Cliches On History-Making ‘Today Show’ Interview

The Today Show broadcast the first interview in the history of the world to feature both increasingly indiscriminate American acting legends Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino. It was the sole promotional stop on the Righteous Kill “Yes, It’s a Turd, But It’s DeNiro and Pacino, So Cut Us Some Slack, Jack™” media tour. Talking to a seemingly terrified Brian Williams (”Don’t give me that face, because now I think I’m going to be killed,”) it was Pacino who defused the tension by offering his best half-assed Travis Bickle. As clichéd as it was, however, just hearing the familiar line come out of Pacino’s lips still managed to shoot a faint chill up our spine—though DeNiro is to be commended in showing admirable restraint, and not leaning over to “HOO-ah!” back in his co-star’s face.
