From about3:59 to about 4:38 it seems as if Bryant is trying to taunt her. Anyone else get that feeling?

“People shouldn’t assume anything about me at 56”, good for her! And yes, damn she looks great.

I don't think Bryant is that unprofessional. I do think he was trying to get Mary to reveal something that everyone was going to be talking about. She kept sidestepping what he was trying to get at, but I think it's telling that when he asked her about being happy about the tour's less than stellar turnout [[in most venues) she refused to answer. If the answer is "no" then say it. By refusing to answer it's clear that she believes her answer might backfire on her so she refuses. But even Helen Keller could figure out that Mary was highfiving somebody behind the scenes when the tour tanked and was yanked.

Lol! Bryant Gumbel was having a good time, I think.

I personally was VERY happy about it all! [[because I knew it was wrong) LOL!

I think at the time I was a bit happy too. Had Diana just went ahead with a Diana Ross tour and surprised people with a Supremes segment featuring Scherrie and Lynda, the tour probably would've done just fine. Luckily Diana was able to rebound and continue on with successful appearances and being awarded prestigious accolades. And of course Mary is still going full speed ahead. So they both may have stumbled behind this RTL nonsense, but they regrouped and did what the Supremes always did whenever they reached a bump in the road: moved on.

The segment could have included The FLO's plus Freddi Poole and no one would have cared or been upset.
