Teenager Sabrina Carpenter noticeably uneasy in clip revival displaying sexually explicit inquiries
The popular podcast, The Zach Sang Show, has found itself at the centre of a heated debate online. Recent compilations of past interviews have highlighted moments that some viewers find uncomfortable or inappropriate, leading to calls for better professional conduct towards celebrities, especially young ones.
The controversy began when clips from old interviews resurfaced, showing Zach Sang making comments that some found questionable. In one instance, he was heard commenting on the appearance of Sabrina Carpenter, the current "it girl" of the moment, saying, "You look so sexy, a new 18-year-old glow."
The resurfaced interviews have also brought to light instances where Dan Zolot, another co-host on the show, asked intrusive questions to guests. In one such instance, he questioned Sabrina Carpenter about sexting when she was 17 years old.
Other clips show Sang asking invasive and weird questions to guests like Tara Yummy. These instances have not shocked many people, as such behavior has been tolerated in the past.
The Zach Sang Show is known for featuring a bundle of A-list celebrities, including Madison Beer. Trisha Paytas discussed Beer's experience with Zach Sang on her podcast "Just Trish."
The podcast primarily focuses on interviewing big-time musicians such as Ariana Grande, Lizzie McAlpine, Troye Sivan, and Kim Petras. Over the past 10 years, Zach Sang has established himself as an extremely skilled interviewer, and the show has grown from strength to strength.
However, the current controversy has led to a broader conversation on social media about boundaries and the way interviewers should conduct themselves with guests, especially young celebrities. The compilation videos have gained tens of thousands of likes and sparked hundreds of comments, indicating widespread engagement and concern.
Despite the controversy, neither Sang nor Zolot have responded to the criticism regarding their behavior. The future of the show remains uncertain as the online community continues to discuss and debate the issue.
