Ritter also has a confrontation with Creator/GeneSiskel in the green room which is later misreported as a physical fight. Ritter, exhausted by both the dog bite and the argument, falls asleep and when he misses his segment, he vows never to appear on the show again and is eager to tell-all about his bad experience to an ''Entertainment Weekly'' interviewer.
