Madonna on David Letterman - 1994

Madonna proves to be in a difficult interview for Dave then gets increasingly belligerent as the interview progresses.

It all started with Letterman's less-than-awesome introduction of the pop star before her 1994 appearance: "Our first guest tonight is one of the biggest stars in the world. In the past 10 years, she has sold over 80 million albums, starred in countless films and slept with some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry." Burn! Even faithful sidekick Paul Shaffer couldn't help but object. "She's your guest!" he bellowed from off-camera. To which Letterman responded, "It's right there on her bio, for heaven's sake."

Needless to say, Madonna was less than amused, and decided to enact revenge by dropping the F-bomb a record 14 times and making endless sexual innuendos (including comparing a microphone to a certain part of the anatomy, ahem). At one point, Letterman exclaimed, "This, of course, won't see the light of day." It did (of course), and became one of the highest-rated shows that year. But that didn't stop Letterman from making another joke at Madonna's expense the following evening: "You can tune in safely — she's not on tonight!"

I was there in the audience for this. My friend and I had tickets and originally Dennis Hopper was supposed to be the main guest. We heard on the radio that morning that Madonna was going on instead and we got in line early, as they always overbook the audience. Paul Schaefer and the band play really loud during the commercial breaks, it was a lot of fun to be there. My buddy and I knew she was being obnoxious just for the publicity, and sure enough her face was on the cover of every NY newspaper the next day.
