  • I remember this interview from back in the day. Madonna was all over the news because of what she said and did in this interview. If I remember correctly, this was one of the most popular reruns of Letterman well into 1995.

  • All I can say this is the legendary interview, the interview that cannot be happened today. They both maintained their own wildness of 80's - 90's, and decided to crash as hard as they can. Witt, humor, bravery, assertiveness and intelligence exploded all together in this interview. While some celebrities got publicly humiliated by David, not having a chance to fight back, but Madonna, she was never one of them.

    • I don’t think so, because a lot of celebrities, and whoever else these talk show, hosts have had on their show have sometimes acted a little outrageous to the point where even the hosts looked like they were getting secondhand embarrassment for them. I don’t know if you remember this but years and years ago do you remember when Drew Barrymore got up and jumped on David Letterman‘s desk and pulled up her shirt and flashed him? I doubt that was scripted. That’s when she was going through some tough times. And, now that she has her own show, she had David letterman on it recently and discussed that situation and that moment.

  • Easily the best interview of all time. I heard humours that at the time the latterman show was struggling for ratings and David latterman asked Madonna to be outrageous and wild prior to the show started. Madonna was dating Tupac at the time and she admitted on the latterman show In 2009 that she had a joint prior to the show. Madonna even asked Dave “have you Ever smoked Endo? So basically she was high lol!! No other music star could cause such controversy then Madonna. No way she could get away with it now In 2022 as people would be too offended. Especially in the day of social media. It would ruin her career. This show is still the highest rating episode in lattermans career and Madonna’s single I’ll remember after the show aired peaked at No.2 on the billboard charts for 4 weeks. So it worked out well for both I say

    • nope. Letterman was beating Leno in the ratings in 1994 when this aired, it wasn't until Hugh Grant's appearance on the Tonight Show after his arrest that Leno started beating The Late Show. And no, this isn't the highest rated episode ever of The Late Show. His highest rated episode was after the 1994 Winter Olympcs a few weeks earlier than this episode. Actually, when this episode aired The Late Show was absolutely crushing The Tonight Show in the ratings. Basically everything you heard is a load of BS.
