Is Mariska slightly insane, or simple, or just hyperactive? I mean, God love the woman I don't want to be harsh, but seeing her on Ellen today she was acting like a CRAZY PERSON. It was a repeat, but still...
She should lay off the red cordial.
Didn't see the show, but based on viewing her on other talk shows, I decided she's a bit of a jerk. Like you, I was left shaking my head after listening to her...
She probably is nice. However, she'd also work your last nerve if you had to spend a lot of time with her. She's annoying. I recall her saying stuff that was politically incorrect to the point it was on the verge of racist. Kept yapping about everyone's nationality/race/religion and being slightly provocative, but I think she thought she was being funny. But she's not funny.
IMO, she's a jerk in the sense that she's a mouthy, hyper, attention-hog.
