Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion Chapter 156: Critical Hit
ABC’s talk show "The View" is a midday talk show.
It started airing in 2007 and, like the Oprah Winfrey Show, primarily features celebrity interviews and discusses so of the more popular recent topics.
The difference is that the program has five female hosts of different skin colors—black, white, red, yellow, brown—making race issues crystal clear.
All five female hosts are middle-aged won over 30, who often talk about gender topics.
"The View" has more than ten million regular viewers in Arica, mostly won, which is the main reason why Ivanka arranged for him to participate in this show.
Just the thought of the upcoming onslaught from five middle-aged won gave Link a bit of a headache.
"Good afternoon, Link, and welco to ’The View.’"
The host, and Academy Award-winning actress Whoopi Goldberg, 54 this year, once won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her outstanding performance in "Ghost."
She also got an Oscar nomination for Best Actress for "The Color Purple," and has a Grammy Award to her na—a very famous black female celebrity.
"Good afternoon, Ms. Goldberg!"
Link smiled, hugged the eldest Whoopi Goldberg, and then greeted the other four hosts, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Sunny Hostin, and others.
"Wow, Link is so handso, even more than in his photos."
The thirty-sothing blonde host Elisabeth Hasselbeck looked Link over and exaggeratedly praised, "It’s really hard to imagine that a handso guy like him could be such a strong boxer and sing so well. Most importantly, he’s only 20 years and 8 months old. Does anyone want to date this cool guy?"
"Yes!"
The hundreds of female audience mbers responded enthusiastically.
Link smiled lightly and waved to the audience.
"I would, too, Link. Could you sit next to ?"
Ms. Elisabeth warmly invited him.
"Elisabeth, stop being flirty. You should get married soon; your kids are older than Link."
Whoopi Goldberg scolded with a laugh.
"Link, do you think I’m old?" Experience tales with empire
Ms. Elisabeth asked.
Link replied with a smile, "Ms. Elisabeth possesses the wisdom and charm of an older woman; I think it has sothing to do with age."
"Haha, Link, you’ve answered so well, but next ti you can just tell her she’s old, no need to be so polite."
Another host, Sunny Hostin, laughed.
Everyone else applauded for Link’s response.
Link sat down with the five hosts, his seat between Whoopi Goldberg and Elisabeth.
"Link, I heard you’ve just taken the SAT?" Goldberg asked.
"Yes!"
"How did it go? Oh, I rember asking my son Johnson the sa question over twenty years ago, and now asking Link, it feels very heartwarming."
Goldberg laughed heartily.
"I felt pretty good about it, I did all the questions I could."
"Were there many you couldn’t do?"
Ms. Elisabeth asked.
Link replied with a small smile to the cara, "I can only say that I did my best."
Everyone laughed.
"Yes, Link’s been very busy. We all know his schedule last year—in August, he participated in the Olympics and won a gold dal, in September and October he competed in the WBA championship and won the World Champion’s Golden Belt, he beat Tyson in Atlantic City, and in January he released an album and had concerts and signing events across the United States. He’s been non-stop all year.
Link, with you being so busy, do you have ti to read and study?"
Ms. Goldberg asked.
Link spread his hands, "Ti is squeezed out, like before the match with Tyson, I would do so seventh-grade math problems in the dressing room."
Pfft!
Hahahaha!
The whole room burst into laughter.
The thought of a World Champion boxer doing math problems before a fight kept the laughter going.
"Link, which do you find harder, solving math problems or beating Tyson?"
Ms. Elisabeth asked, barely holding back her laughter.
Link thought for a mont and sighed, "I beat Tyson, but there are so seventh-grade geotry problems that I still don’t understand."
Many in the audience could relate and burst into applause and laughter again.
"Link, you’re an Olympic champion, world boxer, and a popular singer; you are quite successful. Why did you decide to take the SAT? So dia think it’s a publicity stunt; how do you address such skepticism?"
Ms. Goldberg asked.
Link said, "I’ve faced a lot of skepticism. Taking the SAT, I also faced skepticism; this I did not expect. My reason for taking the SAT is pretty simple. I believe the SAT, ACT tests are among the significant experiences most Aricans will go through, a milestone in life.
I had a less than pleasant childhood, a rather chaotic adolescence, nearly veering off the main path of life, and that is one of my regrets. Now that I’m successful and still young, I have the opportunity to make up for this regret, so I did it."
Clap, clap, clap!
Ladies like Goldberg and the others led the applause.
Link smiled and added, "I think taking the SAT is a form of socializing, too. Before, when I chatted with Paul Walker and Jas Franco, they would talk about taking the SATs or going to college. Each ti they talked about it, I could only be an audience, but now I have the chance to join the conversation."
The crowd burst into an approving laughter.
After discussing the SAT, the interview moved into the official question segnt.
Since the show’s five hosts were all married won and the main audience was also female, the interviews often touched on topics like gender relations, family, child education, growth, career, etc.
Before the interview, the "The View" team gave Link a program outline, including the interview outline, main questions, and the the of this episode—gender relations and family violence.
Upon seeing the the, Link could guess so of the questions and had prepared accordingly, but then the host opened with:
"Link, last ti Miss Amber visited our show, she talked about so private matters between you two. She said you are quite impressive in that departnt, claiming every ti is asured in hours—is that true?"
Ms. Elisabeth asked with a smile.
Link paused for a mont, looked at the cara, and asked, "Can we discuss this kind of topic on the show?"
Ms. Goldberg laughed and said, "You must not watch our show very often. In the last episode, Elisabeth said that she often fakes orgasms to avoid hurting her husband’s ego."
"Last year, Whoopi revealed on one of the shows how she and her boyfriend made love in the ocean, and it was a very bad experience," Ms. Elisabeth shot back.
The remaining three female hosts also started sharing many bold topics they had discussed on the show. In any case, what happened between him and Amber wasn’t considered very scandalous for The View.
Listening to five middle-aged won talk about dirty jokes.
Link couldn’t help but feel his face grow hot; the show’s standards were too much for him to handle with his level of embarrassnt.
"Ladies, pause for a mont. Link’s getting embarrassed."
Ms. Goldberg intervened with a laugh.
"Wow, can the World Boxing Champion also be shy?"
"Haha, I almost forgot, Link is still a young man who just beca an adult."
"Link, welco to the adult world," the won laughed.
"Link, if you’re feeling uncomfortable, we can move on to the next question," Ms. Goldberg offered.
Link wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Talking about it is no problem, I’m a boxer, everyone knows that boxers train frequently, and our bodies are stronger than ordinary people, in terms of strength, stamina, and rhythm. So, boxers generally perform better in that area, and I am even stronger than all other boxers."
"Oh, are you saying you are the best in the world in that respect?" Ms. Elisabeth laughed.
Link shrugged and said, "Even if I’m not the very best, I’m among the best."
Clap, clap, clap!
The female hosts led the applause, and the audience clapped and cheered. Just when Link thought he had answered well, Ms. Goldberg asked:
"Link, this episode’s the is about gender relations and family violence. Amber claid that she often faints during intimate acts with you, just like being KO’d by you. I think this could be considered a form of dostic violence, don’t you agree?"
The atmosphere on set suddenly turned quiet, everyone looked at Link—it was a difficult question to answer. If he admitted it was dostic violence, he’d be labeled as an abuser. If he didn’t, but Amber claid she had fainted.
Link glanced at her, this question wasn’t in the interview outline and he started to suspect they were giving him a hard ti for that comnt he made about ’Arica not being only for the African-Arican community.’
"Link, if you don’t want to respond, there’s no need to answer this," Ms. Goldberg added.
Link said, "No, I’m just pondering the fainting issue. Last year at the Han Jing Olympics, when I won the championship and was about to receive the Gold dal, I almost fainted from the excitent, too.
If I could score above 1500 points on the SAT, I’d probably faint from happiness as well.
Ms. Goldberg, back when you were at the Oscars and heard the presenter announce—Academy Award-winning Actress, Whoopi Goldberg—did you feel so excited that you almost swooned?"
Ms. Goldberg thought for a mont and laughed, "I did feel sothing like that."
Link laughed and said, "I think the kind of fainting Amber was talking about must be that sensation, which doesn’t seem to be anything bad, let alone violent. If it’s violence, then it must be a blissful strike."
"Wow, Link put it so nicely, a blissful strike—I want to experience that too,"
Ms. Elisabeth exclaid dramatically.
The audience below also clapped and cheered.
"Wow! I also want to experience Link’s mighty blow,"
Ms. Katy Perry leaned on the sofa in front of the television, watching Link on the screen and pressing her legs tightly together.
"n are never any good."
On the opposite sofa sat a beautiful black woman, none other than the pop singer Rihanna, her face bearing bruises and a look of grievance.
Rihanna and Katy Perry, both singers and both with xican heritage, had a closer relationship in the industry.
"Just because your boyfriend hit you, you think all n are bad. Link is absolutely a good man, so handso, so strong, his voice so sexy. Ah, I can’t take it any longer. I don’t know why, but whenever I see him or hear his voice, my body itches all over," Katy Perry said while rubbing her legs.
"Stop being horny,"
Rihanna gave her a look and said, "He’s Taylor Swift’s boyfriend, and you’re too thirsty to get a taste."
"So, what? Couples in the entertainnt industry never last long, especially when they’re so young—they’re bound to break up sooner or later. By then, I may very well have a chance. Wait for , darling,"
Katy Perry looked at Link on the television, kissed her fingers, and blew the kiss towards him.
