"I have been put on TV way too early as a nepo baby, McCain said. And of all people, Paul Begala schooled the living shit out of me on the one and only time I went on Bill Maher! I have been Dylan Douglas. But what didn't happen is, my parents didn't have a meltdown. My dad was like, Buck up and move on.'"
"Actually, I have to say, Dylan was really nice off the air. I think he was honored to be there. Jennings continued: We had what is relatively a normal exchange. He made his Democratic talking points. I dismantled him. Not an uncommon thing to happen on CNN. I was as surprised as you are to see that his parents were upset about it."
Scott Jennings debated Dylan Douglas, 25, on CNN about the recent government shutdown and decisively dismantled Douglas's Democratic arguments. Dylan Douglas is the son of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas. The celebrity parents reportedly reacted angrily to the debate outcome. Jennings later appeared on a podcast with Meghan McCain, who compared Douglas's experience to her own early TV appearances as a 'nepo baby' and expressed discomfort. Jennings joked he would apologize personally to Catherine Zeta-Jones over a seafood dinner and described Douglas as polite off-air. Jennings attributed the reaction to celebrity 'bubbles' lacking exposure to opposing views.
