HEH: Tom Hanks’ brutal insult to M-SNOW reporter in shocking on-air outburst at Obama library opening.

A-list actor Tom Hanks took a surprise shot at MS NOW while attending the ceremonial opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago on Thursday.

Hanks, 69, found himself face to face with a reporter from the network shortly after arriving.

MS NOW Senior National and Political Correspondent Jacob Soboroff was streaming  live and approached Hanks.

‘Great to see you,’ Soboroff said, eagerly attempting to get Hanks’ attention.

The actor appeared busy, but eventually acknowledged Soboroff after some light pestering.

He broke the silence with a quip: ‘What can I do for the 800 people watching MS NOW?’ – a nod to the network’s waning viewership.

‘Oh, come on. We’re live on MS NOW,’  Soboroff said, putting his hand on Hanks’ shoulder before offering a smile.

‘All right – add a zero to it,’ Hanks said in a dead-pan tone.

Well, that’s one way to get flyover country to see your new movie: What Have They Done to Buzz Lightyear?
