Hope you don't like listening to Howard Stern, anyways remember when Letterman shelved Bill Hicks last performance because it was deemed too much for tv?

Howard Stern is known for doing shit like this or being provocative. Anyone that shows up to Stern knows what they're getting themselves into and are probably doing the show for that reason. Late night hosts generally are not like that. She even said that these questions weren't in the rehearsal so she was completely blindsided by it.

Wow, I always assumed talk show interviews were basically scripted. She seems super, super uncomfortable. And he keeps pushing it.

Its hard to search for because the latest news is all about this, but as far as I can tell she hasnt done an interview with Letterman since.

Society should be judged pre- and post-2014, the turning point of social media really taking ahold of society. Lots of stuff hasn't aged well, and/or wasn't okay even back then. But I don't see the need to get upset about it. Live and learn, and better yourself with time

My main point was in the first sentence, and my supporting statements were in the following sentences. Maybe try reading instead of erupting into fits of rage

It's cool for celebs to be in rehab. That's the culture, unfortunately. It's easy to joke about it and nobody cares.

Which just reminds me of the way Craig Ferguson responded to Brittany Spears' meltdown.

He said we shouldn't be making fun of someone having a breakdown, as she's still a person and not someone to get cheap laughs from.

None of the above. Just that this sort of thing was something that I thought was fairly well known about him. I worded my statement poorly, it should have been that he could get like that with people that HE FELT were combative, high, or otherwise un-cooperative. I agree that she was none of those things and certainly did not deserve to be treated to like that.

Just like all (non-violent) prisoners shouldn't be judged for their past once they rehabilitate, neither should people who have or had bigoted thoughts. People change, and society changes. Live and learn, and be a better you

he also didn't "feel" she was any of those things. he just has no respect for her as a human being and so his instinct is to simultaneously to express that disdain while generating exploitative entertainment for his equally emotionally, mentally and spiritually bereft general audience.

I find it bad that he kept going with it. Like, he did it once, she clearly hated it. He makes another joke, and like trying to show him signs to stop. He's missing them, fine, whatever. I mean, as a talk show host, reading signals should be something you can do but whatever, ok, maybe he's still missing them. Then she outright asks him to stop AND HE KEEPS GOING.

Even if you have him as much benefit of doubt as possible, he still didn't stop.

He pushes it so far that she ends up crying. Then he patronized her tears. Real fucking ghoulish shit.

If this is all letterman said, I don't see how he's an asshole. Sounds like he's on her side by saying people shouldnt make fun of her.
