Letterman: "A hard-boiled egg and an orange? Gee, you can't go wrong there." Hilton: "Yeah, but [the jail experience] is over and I don't want to talk about it any more." Letterman: "Uh-huh...well, this, this is where you and I differ because this is all I want to talk about." You might think you're sick of this but watch this...happened last night. The way she turns on the sniffles when Letterman won't let up is exactly how this empty vessel got out of jail the first time...before they sent her back.

I can hardly wait until Letterman has Judith Miller and Scooter Libby on his show. He'd sure make a better interviewer for those two than Tim Russert and Chris Matthews.

I love Letterman and I almost got suckered into watching that just now...almost.

It is a shame that Emile Hirsh, who gives a magnificent performance in one of the best films of the year, had to be on second after this useless piece of trash.

to hijack this from what'shername, i just saw INTO THE WILD. excellent film and if hal holbrook doesn't get a best supporting actor nod, it's a crime...leave it to a fucking liberal to make the most decent character a god-believing old military man...

And that is exactly why Letterman is a billion times better than Leno, that interview could never have happened on Leno's show. Brilliant.

jeffmcm says ...

Yeah, but why is Letterman so obsessed with her?

comment #9

Rothchild says ...

Obsessed? How does Letterman pulling a Cobert imply he's obsessed?

comment #10

Rothchild says ...

Colbert. Whoops.

Chicago48 says ...

Paris really really wants to be taken serious....seriously....but like Dave hinted, she's just NOT that interesting unless she gets in trouble....and how many perfumes does she have - like 4? Can anybody name them?

If you posted that to remind me that Letterman ever so suavley can remind a dumb bimbo just that, well then let me give you a 'hell yea!'

Back in the real world, Auburn just beat Florida. War Damn Eagle.

Ford_Fletcher says ...

Holy shit T.S., another Auburn student? I wouldn't have expected that on HE.

And did anybody else laugh when Paris called herself brave? Wasn't/Isn't her jail sentence widely considered a joke?

T. S. Idiot: I'm going to Auburn's H'coming. Are you going to be the nerd that looks like Apu?

malibugigolo says ...

My aunt when to Broadripple HS same class as Dave.

She's a dumb cunt.

bacio says ...

Paris is just too easy a victim so this is sort of lame. Just do not take her on your show. that s the only way to react to depressing phenomena like Paris Hilton

comment #18

GeorgePrager says ...

The men on this thread who have criticized Paris Hilton are not gentlemen.

comment #19

christian says ...

yees, paris just hates all this publicity.

"T. S. Idiot: I'm going to Auburn's H'coming. Are you going to be the nerd that looks like Apu?"

Malibu: Look for someone closely resembling Cary Grant in his prime and then consider your inadequacies.

comment #21

Cadavra says ...

Unanswered here is why this waste of oxygen was even on the show--again--in the first place. Surely they can't be THAT hard up for guests, most Letterman viewers couldn't care less about her, and if it was a ratings ploy, why put her on Friday, the lowest-watched day of the week?

comment #22

GeorgePrager says ...

I really can't answer that question for you Cadavra. I don't share your outrage, though.

comment #23

Aladdin Sane says ...

Well I don't think anyone was laughing with her during that segment...definitely at here and with Dave. I know it's the nature of the beast to show up on talk shows even though they may ridicule you night and day, but seriously, she has no dignity. It's disturbingly sad in a way.

Since Wells has taken the day off, I might as well post this story:

Jackie Chan No Fan of 'Rush Hour' Series

Of course Chris Tucker will never be told that this story exists.

"[Jackie Chan] said he made the sequel because he was offered an "irresistible" amount of money to do [the sequel] and made the recently released third installment to satisfy fans of the series."

Nice to know whoring yourself out has no ethnic bounds.

comment #27

CitizenKanedforChewingGum says ...

An absolute classic, Magga. Beats any Paris interview blindfolded, drugged, with both hands tied behind the back.

comment #28

Jay T. says ...

People ripping on Paris Hilton to make themselves feel good is even more pathetic than she is. I'm not defending her, merely pointing out the obvious.

comment #29

cjKennedy says ...

Wow, I'd actually forgotten what she sounded like without the phoney English accent.

comment #30

Bocephus says ...

I agree with Bacio. Why even have her on the show in the first place if you don't care about her, don't like her, and don't have anything important to ask her? Was it that important to have someone on the show to promote a perfume line and a shitty direct to DVD movie?

I hate Paris Hilton. But she'll never go away unless people learn to just ignore her. This stunt just made Paris look like she was ambushed and it made Dave look like a mean asshole.

At least put her on second or third, there are much better people that deserve the first spot.

comment #31

christian says ...

dave can defnitely be a mean asshole.

check out harvey pekar's early appearances and watch how dave belittles him because he's just a working stiff without letterman's vast tv power.

comment #32

Bocephus says ...

Yeah, it was awful and even worse than Hilton's appearance. Pekar is a true artist. At least Paris deserves the humiliation.

comment #33

Cadavra says ...

George, my outrage is based on the fact that there are literally thousands of people that Dave could have had on who would have been infinitely more interesting guests. The bottom line is that Hilton is a dilletante in every sense of the word, and every movie role she takes, no matter how shitty the movie will be, is a role she takes away from a working-stiff actress who could've used the money (not just to pay the rent, but SAG members must earn a certain amount annually to maintain their health coverage).

comment #34

cjKennedy says ...

I never thought he belittled Pekar, just poked fun at him for being a combative misanthrope.

That was a long time ago though and I might think differently now that I'm a combative misanthrope myself.

Having said that, I finally caved in and watched this clip and it was kind of nauseating. Not because she's a vacuous whore, but because we're all complicit in her promotion. You, Letterman, me, all of us. I should've follwed my first instinct and ignored it.

comment #35

christian says ...

speak for yourself, guys and gals. i can't even look at the still frame of the clip much less imbibe the vacuity.

i remember watching pekar from the git-go back in the day on letterman and dave was always insulting to him in a classist way. i don't think there's ever been a more dramatic and honest letterman guest moment than when harvey brought up GE and dave being a silent shill. hell, nbc didn't even censor the spot unlike cbs who cut bill hick's entire segment with nary a pip from brave dave.

here be pekar:
