"Obscene gesture!"
Stinky finger on live TV: scolding for Richard Gere

Presenter Savannah Guthrie therefore also played an excerpt from the series. However, this was interrupted in the middle of the scene - just as Gere's series hero was about to give his counterpart the middle finger.
Gere gave the finger
When the cameras switched back to the studio in the live broadcast and zoomed in on Gere, he suddenly held up his middle finger: "You didn't show it, but this is what would have been in the clip."

Guthrie looked shocked at first, while she then covered the stinky finger with her notepaper: "I'm censoring you. We cut that part out. And then you make an obscene gesture on a family show in the morning."
"Hand has taken on a life of its own"
Gere grinned: "But without that gesture, the cut-out wouldn't have made any sense." He later laughed and "apologized": "My hand took on a life of its own, I had no control over it!"
