Twitter Blows Up Over Leaked Tape of Lawrence O’Donnell Going Nuts: ‘STOP THE HAMMERING’
At one point in the video, O’Donnell goes on a tirade over what appears to be someone hammering in the background, leading to this unforgettable rant:
“STOP THE HAMMERING UP THERE. WHO’S GOT A HAMMER? WHERE IS IT? WHERE’S THE HAMMER? GO UP ON THE OTHER FLOOR. SOMEBODY GO UP THERE AND STOP THE HAMMERING. STOP THE HAMMERING. I’LL GO DOWN TO THE GODDAMNED FLOOR MYSELF AND STOP IT, KEEP THE GODDAMNED COMMERCIAL BREAK GOING. CALL FUCKING PHIL GRIFFIN, I DON’T CARE WHO THE FUCK YOU HAVE TO CALL. STOP THE HAMMERING. EMPTY OUT THE GODDAMNED CONTROL ROOM AND FIND OUT WHERE THIS IS GOING ON.”
After the post went live, it didn’t take long for the internet to stand up and take notice. And folks on Twitter sure had a lot of fun with it.
LOL @Lawrence sounds like fun! ?
“STOP THE HAMMERING… CALL F***ING PHIL GRIFFIN!”

Of course, there were the obvious comparisons to Bill O’Reilly’s infamous “We’ll do it live!” outtakes:
