I would have Alan Shore argue that nobody remembers what Farah was on the show promoting. (If memory serves me right) it was something involving body painting a wall with her bosoms as a brush. The "She's 50!" Playboy issue was December (per wiki). If someone wants to watch it on Youtube for me and tell me, go right ahead. (Sir Tom still pays for the affordable dialup.) I'll grant you she was potentially a B-guest at the time (as opposed to Dave's other fave women: Julia Roberts, Drew, or Isabella Rosalini.) But any publicity is good publicity, people may have thought she was dumber than a box of rocks, but ... at least people still talk about the interview 11 years later. (The Michael Richards interview or Twilight Girl, probably not so much.) Which is a major flaw regarding any modern magazine list, particularly TV Guides. Current events are more heavily weighted. Therefore any tv show within the last 5 years (i.e. Desperate Housewives / Greys Anatomy, The Hills) gets on because it's newer and the idiot writers have to do less research. Idiot Writer(s) at Time consider 4 of Dave's interviews in the last 3 years the worst ever. To which I say ... Donz would probably be the person to put together such a list because HE'S WATCHED ALL OF THEM. === NY Daily News regarding the return visit: FARRAH TO ENCORE WITH LETTERMAN Tuesday, October 5th 1999, 2:11AM Farrah Fawcett next week will return to the scene of her now-infamous interview on CBS' "Late Show With David Letterman." On Wednesday, the former "Charlie's Angels" star will make her first visit to the CBS late nighter since June 6, 1997, when her appearance on the show caused folks to suggest she was drunk. Fawcett rambled on, appeared to lose her train of thought and at times seemed utterly befuddled. While funny to watch, the incident created a firestorm of speculation over Fawcett's health and future. Over the summer, Fawcett chalked up her past "Late Show" experience to bad advice on how to behave. "I actually had a good time," Fawcett said. "And I was going to say this I said, 'When I go back, I'm taking my mom with me because she's the one who said, 'Just go and have fun. Have a sense of humor.' " === And I'll take this blogger over Time's stupid stupid stupid top ten list: This guy puts Farah on his 9 Best Interviews (at least youtube linkable) list along with Courtney Love, Cher, and Richard Simmons. http://thecomicscomic.typepad.com/thecomicscomic/2009/02/great-moments-in-david-letterman-interviews.html > and I am not sure Hilton is smart enough to know the difference > between her persona and making fun of her persona. According to Sally Kirkland, who worked with Paris on the last E! series of the Simple Life (Goes to Camp) (they put out a soundtrack CD), Ms. Hilton, who is very rich on her own (having been disowned) thanks to her merchandise and having people pay her appearance fees to attend their parties (and get on TMZ, US Magazine), Paris off camera is a pretty smart cookie. > Plus, I don't agree > that either of what you conclude were "real" interviews were bad.

I don't call them bad so much as suggest that the Stupid Time writer's assessments of how they went for the stars involved might have viewed their own interviews in retrospect. And not agree with others in this thread that MY GOD, DAVE IS A HORRIBLE INTERVIEWER AND I TEND NOT TO WATCH HIM ANYWAY. That said, I think I've written a more well researched cohesive rebuttal on why this article is stupid than was put into the article itself. And that's why many people may have been reading me for up to 11 years when I joined the Late Show News Eye Witness Anchor Team. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ TV or Not TV ....
