    Your two hosts were more interested in talking than listening which makes for a poor interview, however you were able to take the stage rather well.. Poor Red Eye didn’t get a chance to shine though.

    Extraordinary performance, tough crowd for you to play to as you began. I loved the interview, I look forward to meeting you one day as I’m doing my thing! One may imagine learning learning something new in a whole new world of possibility!

    Dear teacher,
    As usual, great performance. Very funny. I liked the origin of “the happy hours”. I’ll have something interesting to say next time I go to a pub!
    Thank you for the lesson.

    Privyet!

    My name is Daryn. 1st time user of your website. I’ve seen you on youtube since you 1st joked about women’s vocabulary of “fine”. I’ve also seen this interview when it first aired. I must say you are a marvel. As far as the interview, you have a better understanding of American culture than that woman in silk, since you were nice enough to not try to talk over others. You were also well prepared too with your rebuttle of being an attractive teacher. I’m glad you weren’t in skimpy clothing for this interview, you came off as very poised and professional, and I respect that. To top it off, you seemed to have a knack for prognosis, since this link happened (see below).
    Overall, I say well done. I hope you have more luck in the future.

    They so showed thier jealousy! :shock: Talk about haters! The exposure was totally awsome, but they could have showed a lot more respect.

  8. patrickviel6 on March 10th, 2008 7:39 am

    I think that it’s so unfair for Marina! They keep cutting her off and seemingly putting her down! Don’t worry about it Marina, I like you for your brains and DO pay attention to your lessons!

  9. rocksavs on March 7th, 2008 12:40 pm

    You did great Marina. For an American you’re an excellent philologist. For a Russian (originally) you are an AMAZING English philologist. Very Impressive!

  10. hamid_chemini on March 2nd, 2008 10:06 am

    i am hamid from algéria ; i never …… :oops: I want a friendly, were not friendly to me begin, the most beautiful women Search me on the beautiful girlfriend

  11. salem smith on February 25th, 2008 2:36 pm

    :sad: it is indeed sad no one knew what a philologist is.
    love ya marina!

  12. crippled127 on February 24th, 2008 2:32 pm

    Yeah…. They seemed really sober now didn’t they? (Marina I bet you didn’t have a drink at all)

  13. keekaykorapsa on February 24th, 2008 2:03 pm

    First interviews are really the most nerve racking, specially in live broadcast. I noticed though that Rebecca felt intimidated by your presence which became evident by your comment about Golden Globe thingy, youtube being the best than myspace (which you later knew is Fox owned) and culminating when you answered all the etymological meaning of the questions thrown at you. Dunno, they (Fox) could have sent you and the hosts the questions beforehand so you and they had time to research. But for Rebecca, I guess what she researched on was your personality through your youtube videos rather than your philological background. Then those rude, uncouth, stingy comments about you. She talked before thinking, epitomed the typical American womens’ cynicism and superiority above- all- else rather than having an open “mind” mentality. In the end, she did looked more unintelligent and obnoxious person.

    Great job for you though :smile: Keeping your calm, do shared some of your insights, your knowledge and grace. Please do continue with your videos and feed our mind. Kudos to you.

  14. cuteronnie120 on February 12th, 2008 4:34 pm

    You were the only I heard, everyone else was so loud! :???:

  15. mikei14975 on February 10th, 2008 2:24 pm

    Don;t lesten to what they say about, ” They don’t care what you say”, we do.. right guys?

  16. fadeintoyou77 on February 5th, 2008 6:48 pm

    Great job, Marina.
    You were just your disarming self as usual while the other three talked across each other.
    A breath of fresh air as always.

  17. loneshark on February 1st, 2008 7:17 pm

    unreal !! you did so well at staying polite amongst some bruts ! very well done.
    post script-
    will you be my valentine ?

  18. Vichama on January 22nd, 2008 9:51 pm

    Congrats on your first interview Marina! I just wish they wouldnt have kept interupting you.

  19. buhbuhray13 on January 22nd, 2008 4:19 pm

    I enjoyed the interview and thanks for preparing yourself so well for it ! I have done some interviews on camera and given speeches in front of people and it’s a whole different ball game than just sitting all alone talking to a web cam.
    kudos !

  20. streetscribe on January 22nd, 2008 3:19 pm

    Marina, how simply elegant you are in this interview. Well Poised despite the comments made by the lady in the blue dress. A rather loud and boisterous group they put u with (were they tossed or what?) , indeed u handled your self nicely.

  21. mauidavid on January 22nd, 2008 2:59 pm

    Marina you were great! You looked much more intelligent as well as easy on the eyes than the rest of those bozos! Congratulations on your first interview. I’m sure it won’t be long before you are getting offers for your own show. Excellent job, and Bon courage!

  22. oogie on January 21st, 2008 9:44 pm

    Hey you did great !

    Keep up the good work, i’m sure we’ll see you on tv again sometime :P

  23. voister on January 21st, 2008 5:11 pm

    Marina,

    Wow! You were incredible in your interview. Although, the hosts were ignorant and obnoxious stupid people. Never mind them and their simple ways of “thinking”. You have caught our attention as your students and we are never late to class, anymore. Keep it up.

    Semper Gumpy,
    Voister

  24. abxgarcia on January 20th, 2008 9:08 pm

    Marina, I think that you deserve at least an exclusive interview on any respectable TV Show, and you certainly deserve better than the “happy hour”; on the other hand, it is awesome to see you getting recognition outside Youtube! :-D

    We Love Your Work!!!

  25. TommySteeltoe on January 19th, 2008 10:37 pm

    I’m glad to see the progression of your popularity. Might I suggest you go on the daily show? Or perhaps Cnn, but Fox is just “farcical” compared to you.

    See if you can tell me what that means. Perhaps in a vid?
    plz = )

  26. dank1313 on January 18th, 2008 10:55 pm

    good job marina

  27. StylinAzn on January 18th, 2008 7:31 pm

    Great Job… yes your students would love to know your next television spot. We would all watch with deligence!! I know I would… :!: :mrgreen:

  28. jsmooth5atl on January 11th, 2008 9:06 am

    So cool for you to be on TV. You should have gave us a heads up so we can watch it live. I think you were great in your interview. I think that lady was rude because you try to interrupt you but you kept your composure. :mrgreen:

    Marina replied on January 13th, 2008 8:25 am:

    I didn’t give a heads up as it was my first time interviewed EVER… so I was really nervous that I would do a horrible job!

    bklabel replied on January 15th, 2008 8:11 pm:

    You did a great job on the interview. Please let your students know in advance next time.

  29. akak on January 11th, 2008 2:55 am

    veritanuda said “hurry up and come to the UK”. Yes, yes, Im sure you would find your spiritual (and linguistic) home here.

    Just imagine a show (IQ) with you and Stephen Fry on the same bill. Fans of philology would not know what to do with themselves (ourselves).

  30. free soul on January 10th, 2008 3:20 pm

    “bares fruit” by oddgeteven seems like a Freudian slip !

    But re the Fox prog. I now see why I’ve heard that UK TV is better than stateside. How did those apparently crass loonies lure you onto that Circus ?
    At least you were the Ballerina on the horse, and not the clowns.

    theoddgeteven replied on January 12th, 2008 9:38 pm:

    er yah opps…what can I say. :???: Bear with me ? Thanks for the correction. Sorry Marina :wink:

  31. ken on January 10th, 2008 2:48 am

    Marina! Woohoo! :smile:

  32. rusak24 on January 9th, 2008 9:52 pm

    When you become famous and rich, don’t forget us will you :roll: :razz:

  33. dank1313 on January 9th, 2008 8:52 pm

    i feel like they were way too “happy”, you were yourself and goofy. even though you looked a little out of place and picked on.

  34. theoddgeteven on January 9th, 2008 8:49 pm

    I agree very much with the comments logged by lituaniamania above. It was good for you to get this exposure and I hope it bares fruit for you if that is what you want. Rebbeca, made some side long looks and made her comments out of ignorance about your program and centred herself in a “good ol boy” american stero type mind set. “You are beautiful therefore you have no brains.”

    Don’t you love it when people talk about themselves thinking they are putting someone else down. If she was exercising some of her gray matter she should have recognized herself in making that comment, but opps she is there for her beauty and not brains.

  35. matalexwolf on January 9th, 2008 8:22 pm

    The other three talked waaaaay too much!! x

  36. stannex on January 9th, 2008 4:48 pm

    Congratulations on getting national coverage. I won’t be so crass as to insult Fox Business after they were so kind as to invite you on, but I DO hope this leads to higher-profile shows and networks giving you even BETTER promotion.

  37. ocelotl on January 9th, 2008 3:51 pm

    wow!!! you look so… gorgeous with that dress… a very special teacher. Good job! sigue as

  38. tdwnarrows on January 9th, 2008 3:08 pm

    GOOD JOB MARINA :!: I loved it…You are right about youtube is the best…I cant wait till your next video..Thanks

    Marina replied on January 9th, 2008 3:11 pm:

    Thanks! Except that Fox owns myspace! Whoops :shock:

    tdwnarrows replied on January 9th, 2008 3:23 pm:

    OOOhhh i didnt know that…Oh well..LOL

    Marina replied on January 9th, 2008 4:07 pm:

    I actually had just set up a myspace page.. I was just playing with them.

  39. veritanuda on January 9th, 2008 11:30 am

    Hehe.. yes.. well what can I say.. YOU _looked_ very smart _talked_ very smart and were so way over the head of these bar-props you might as well have had wings! (thus giving rise to the encouraging rumour that you are, in fact an angel in disguise) :wink:

    Glad you are making it to prime time telly (albeit Fox ;) ) but hurry up and come to the UK so we can put you on QI, Balderdash and Piffle or Never Mind the Full Stops. Please, pretty please.

    Довольно пожалуйста с грецким орехом хлестают сливки на вершине!

    :mrgreen:

  40. lithuaniamania on January 9th, 2008 8:48 am

    Exposure for you is nice, Marina, but this forum appeared to not take you or what you do very seriously at all. I really feel Rebecca was intimidated by you and jealous to boot. She is, herself, very beautiful but didn’t need to make snide comments about why we all view your videos. Next time try Lou Dobb’s show. He would give you respect in every field that you work in. :idea:

    cosmopolitan1 replied on January 9th, 2008 10:07 am:

    Congratulation Marina!
    You showed smarts, charme and wit. What a great interview and promotion! And the show was a fantastic fit for you cause it’s the same style mix of info and fun entertainment that you provide on your sites: so a perfect match! More of that,
    please! :razz:

  41. wildfishwish on January 9th, 2008 6:03 am

    you were great Marina!

  42. Ravage on January 9th, 2008 2:19 am

    No offence but the shot it self is lame. Still good for You Marina.

  43. therist on January 9th, 2008 2:18 am

    Marina intelligence is really sexy :cool:

  44. marqs on January 9th, 2008 2:08 am

    Hi Marina!
    It was very nice to see you on this interview Happy Hour :) Very nice! You look great.. Thank You very much!
