"The funniest thing that's happened on television this fall is a ten-second sequence in the finale of The Morning Show in which Marion Cotillard runs down a hallway in slow motion while "Porcelain" by Moby plays. As soon as I saw it on a screener, I burst out laughing, hit the go-back-ten-seconds button, and replayed it again and again. My co-workers looked on with concern and confusion, so I played the clip for them, and they laughed too."
"They did not know the whole history of Celine Dumont, which is, of course, the name of Cotillard's character, and did not quite understand how hilarious it is that Celine and her immaculate bob are running down a hallway clutching a gigantic purse and wearing equally as gigantic strapped heels. They did not understand that Celine Dumont is the funniest thing that has ever happened to me personally, to The Morning Show as a whole,"
A ten-second finale sequence shows Marion Cotillard running down a hallway in slow motion while Moby's "Porcelain" plays. The sequence features Cotillard's character Celine Dumont with an immaculate bob, a gigantic purse, and oversized strapped heels, producing an unexpectedly comic effect that prompted repeated replays. Colleagues who lacked the character's backstory still laughed upon viewing the clip. The Morning Show combines luxe production values, a top-tier cast, and hallucinogenic plotting. The series began as a Me Too–adjacent story with Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, and a Matt Lauer analogue played by Steve Carell and has grown more lurid and entertaining across seasons amid Apple TV rebranding.
