Jerry Penacoli (born July 9, 1956) is an American actor and entertainment reporter, and served as a host with the US syndicated magazine show Extra for 20 years. During the time he conducted two interviews with actresses Anne Hathaway and Scarlett Johansson that went on to be viral. He asked Scarlett if she wore underwear or not with her black widow suit and Anne Hathaway about her catsuit and "feline diet". The interviews have been criticized for their misogynistic tones and reducing the role of actresses as just pretty and sexy in such important roles.[1]
