RIP Sam Rubin , Thanks for the great entrainment reports and memories.

How have I never seem this!!!!?? Made my day 12 years later 🤣

R.I.P., Boss. You are amazing & I witnessed you being a gentleman day in & day out on KTLA 5. Fly high & godspeed. Rest in Paradise.

KTLA kid here who grew up to that voice. RIP

Of all the memories about Sam, this is it. Someone said that Sam is the last of his kind for a television entertainment reporter, and I will disagree. Sam Rubin was the heartbeat of the KTLA Morning News; Sam Rubin was the heartbeat of Hollywood. Rest in peace, and thank you Sam!

Talentless Dope....sounds about right

Grew up hearing your voice....R.I.P.

RIP Sam Rubin😢😢❤ U

Sam dragging pigrez from his grave lives in my mind rent free😂😂😂

I used to love KTLA when I lived in the Los Angeles area, and I miss it now that I'm in Texas.

Entitlement!! Btw. It’s 2021 haven’t heard Hilton’s name for years.

"Perez Hilton got his chones into a superbundle yesterday" 🤣

Right On SAM !!! I'm SO happy that you had the balls to tell it like it is, and let the truth be known, about that "diva" and I spell it with small text, which is what he deserves for treating the show that way he did, after he was offered the use of your entire facilities. Unbelievable, how unappreciative and obviously rude, he and his "staff" could be. It IS too bad that the public eats up his venomous words, and he is famous or a celebrity of sorts. Keep up the great work everyone at KTLA !

Sam Rubin = EPIC WIN!!! Way to finally stand up and tell the truth!!

I love this! Sam Rubin was completely entitled to state how he felt regarding Perez Hilton. Sam has been a fixture at KTLA for over 20 years. He has more than earned his right to voice his stern opinion.

I was there when KTLA launched their straight news morning show against the big 3. Sam was not there on day 1 but joined 6 weeks into the show. It was a well done news show and was day by day sinking into the west. It was failing big time. Well, new producer came in and told everyone "Look you will be gone in the next few weeks, kick back and have fun". They did and with Sam as the best example blew the seriousness out the window. The ratings went through the roof and that show is still on the air 33 years later. OTher stations have tried this and failed. WHen you watched KTLA there was much fun stuff, but Sam's entertainment report - always a gem. Perspective - They were in the middle of nuts- crazy - news folks on 9/11. When what was happening the all grabbed their jackets, and hit their marks. No Jokes and took command. I tried looking at the big 3 and the CNN types but would go back to KTLA after a few minutes. I needed to electronic arm of my favorite news team around my shoulder saying it will be OK. Sam, you won't be coming back Monday - but as you start the next great adventure know that we'll be remembering you and thinking of you going forward. And Sam, just in case you didn't hear it over a million times today, Sam - Thanks!

Perez Needed to Practice what he Preaches when Coming on Time to a Function!

Sam Rubin, I didn't know you had it in you S🤣😂 put that Diva in his place

Perez Hilton better have an alibi for this morning...

1:36..IRONY! haha we all zooming from home now!

One of the best tirades ever!

And through all this Snoop Dogg being a stand up fellow as usual.

Years later Sam was able to Skype from home!!

Perez Hinton is a little weasel

I remember watching this broadcast. My respect for this man on this and the Mel Gibson interview. You goofed on the Samuel L Jackson-Lawrence Fishburne faux pas, but you were the best. Rest in peace, Sam Rubin

What a legend, RIP 😢

That's right! Respect Sam's Gangster!

Shit my pants twice laughing... I just found my new hero....

I can't believe people like Perez Hilton have nothing better to do, than to live through the personal lives of others. That is the most pathetic someone could possibly be.

2:00 😬

Lucky for me, I saw Sam Rubin won his award during the ''AVID Night Ceremony Awards'' (located inside the USC Basketball Arena).Since June 2008. It was a Great assembly, and Sam Rubin.....you are awsome.

Perez Hilton looks the real life Beavis from Beavis and Butthead 🤣🤣🤣

Who's Perez Hilton? Lol.

Thank you Sam for all the laughs, the truths and the occasional needed rips! You were and always will be a number one spot on entertainment reporter! Rest in peace dear man 🥲🥰❤️❤️

That Shade :)

Tssssss poor Perez *apply cold water to burned area*

Go Sam. I haven't watched KTLA in many years (I live in Vancouver, BC) but now that my cable package gets it. I'm tuning in again.

I saw this video. Very good speech by Mr. Rubin. I do often wonder why the hell Perez is always downing some poor celeb he doesn't agree with on his blog. Why is he such a hater? Did he not have a nice childhood? I often wonder about his personal life in regards to his childhood, his parents, etc. And I notice those details are private while he's sniffin' in other celebs' affairs with his blog.

Lol, let Perez have it!

Love this guy who does Perez think she is

A great and entertaining man. Watched him for 20 years or better. What a tragic and unexpected loss for us all. Love you Man. RIP Sam Rubin. You will continue to be missed every day.

I used to like Perez’s blog years ago when it was actually entertaining and put celebs in their places. He called them out, was very honest, and took no prisoners. He even made snide nicknames for most which were hilarious. He could be mean but that made it entertaining. He rightly knocked celebs off their delicate pedestals they thought they deserved. Yeah, most celebs hated him but that’s in the nature of a gossip columnist job! He absolutely ruined his career and therefore relevance when he became “nice.” That’s boring like every other celeb news site. It totally changed his brand. It got even worse when he started brown nosing certain celebs that he used to totally eviscerate with his words. It’s not like he really ever had many breaking or many first scoops to begin with; the majority were taken from elsewhere but he used his own flair and put into his own words by making it his own. I haven’t read it for years now & doubt I ever will. He was the cause of his own demise.

R.I.P Sam ❤

RIP to a legend

hes right, wheres at prez now? out of the spotlight

R.I.P. Sam and condolences to your family, work, family and friends, and everyone who loved you, including viewers.❤

RIP Sam I will miss you so much. This was one of my favorite Sam’s tangents and he totally called it “we will still be here”. Perez Hilton who???? 😅

0:49 Gotta love his anger management admission. Play it again, Sam.

I thought it was Paris Hilton! Don’t care who’s Perez Hilton!

yeah Sam tell Hilton what time it is

❤😢RIP SAM ❤😢

2:09 OH. MY. GOSH. ZING!

Rip.❤

AMEN!

Love it!! Sam was always truly HONEST!!!

@dracatube I agree, do you know her last name?

Mic drop! R.I.P. Sam.

there are so many people who think like I do. This guy doesn't deserve what he has, and by the time people realize it, I hope he had spent all his money on hair color and women's clothes so he has to go back to working a REAL job.

perez's head is so long.

Sam Rubin. Your Amazing.

Not that Im siding with Perez Hilton, but what’s been happening this week in 2022 with the staff, I know Hilton is laughing about everything going down with KTLA today.

This was classic!!!! RIP Sam :(

😭 Oh Sam the king that you were 👏🏽

Hi Sam. I hope you're alright need your help , could you please. make them at channel 52. telemundo. to play also that great story we were watching call Tierra de reyes. pretty please. they r at New York I read. well I think.

RIP Sam Rubin. And who the heck is Perez Hilton?

Ironically...we all Skype in now.

love the KTLA crew...especially Sam and Mark :)

Who?

Rip brotha

Calm down princess Hilton

Hi Ruben. we hope you're real fine

OWNED Perez Hilton represents everything thats wrong with the world

Perez thinking he’s more famous than Snoop Dog. 🙄

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh snap!

GO SAMMMM!!!!!!

By the way greetings from the Netherlands, except from Balkenende, his entourage & the AIVD's solid core...

it's great to see Silvana. but. I was just wandering if they could squise in the story. of Tierra de reyes. pretty please well Tierra de reyes it's the title of it. it's about tierras that belonged to family Gayardo but a lot was taken from them. they bout to get it back. justice do.. over wrong dane ....

Perez you make a career perpetuating hate, slander and harassment of celebrities. Now he has the notion that he *IS* a celebrity. Even going so far as to call himself an "artist" lol. Good job! I hate when fellow critics of Perez resort to homophobic slurs. That's sinking to the low that Perez sinks to. Hit Perez with criticism that sticks to the facts people.

Where was this version of Sam with Mel Gibson?

Who....

who is Paris Hilton

You go Sam that’s awesome good for u

YOU TALENTLESS DOPE 😅😅😅😅😅 RIP SAM RUBIN!!!!!

Upchuck....good one sam....

In memory of sam rubin

WOWZERS!! I didn’t know that Michaela Pereira was on channel 5…. Love her Fox News LA!!

Rest in peace

Sombody start the slow clap.

Other times, I feel rather sorry for Perez Hilton, weird as that may sound...:p

KTLA😎 For L.A

@GuysSeriously In reality, Perez gives the species a bad name.

Go Sam Rubin!!!!!!! Perez Hilton is a "talentless dope" lol

@imager41 You posted your comment twice dork. Laugh at that

Michaela Pereira

Ooh...TREATED! On a more serious note, I do wonder what kind of domestic environment Perez grew up in and whether it has any influence on his seemingly poor attitude.

YES!!!! lol OMG Finally someone talks smack to this Fruitloop.
