One thing I would say is that laughter is a coping mechanism for some to deal with dark or tragic shit. It's certainly possible, though maybe unlikely, that they were both responding like this, or that one of them one and the other was following suit.
Though they should also try and push their feelings aside and remain professional seeing as they're broadcasting themselves to the world talking about this stuff. And give it the seriousness it deserves.
Thanks for the follow up u/SpaceManBob I appreciate it.
One of the things I am constantly reminding myself of is that the time and context of such interviews is drastically different than today's standards.
Today, we seem to have no standards at all.
Back then, discussing anything controversial or taboo was strictly forbidden. It was probably a breathtaking thing to hear back in the day and may have had a real impact on viewers.
As you say, the laughing may have been a way to soften such an attack on hollywood.
Agree with most everything you've said.
