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.
