Nigella Lawson on Letterman

[wickedlover88]

Is Letterman this much of a moron all the time? It's not even that Nigella is making him look like a 'dumb american', he's doing that all on his own!

[gdula84]

this guy is no fun and stupid.. don't like him at all:/

[MrRawdoc]

Letterman ruined a salmon from Scotland that cost how much? Amazing that Ms Lawson didn't lose it & call him whatever....

[MIster81E]

NIgella should do stand up! She s hilarious

[MIster81E]

Dont understand why she came back on that show. Probably to give him the final strike. He`s really NOT funny and Nigella is fabulous as always.

[SeeburgMusic]

Funny-- I used to really like Letterman-- a LOT.. but these days he just comes off as an old man trying to be funny and it's not working. I don't know....

[wasilaify]

What a bunch of insufferable buffoons.

[wasilaify]

David Letterman is like that loser schoolkid who uses obnoxiousness as substitute for esteem. And the audience laughing at his attempts just shows the level they're at.  :/ Who watches this show??! Losers?

[MajaEleonora]

@wasilaify I watch it. But I have been told that I am quite the loser. I consider myself more of a nerd, but, to each his own.

[cclluuttcchh]

letterman's cooking segments are a nice glimpse back to the dave of the 80's.

[peteyandjaydee]

Letterman was being a right bellend to such a wonderful and talented cook like Ms. Lawson

[apathy1991]

nigella is so elegant

[sira52504]

paul in the background singing "choppin broccolli" lol...just killed me....

[mike1964180]

she plays him off the break every time she is on...go nigella. I would probably act like an idiot if she was standing next to me...

[sketchi93]

I have no idea how she didn't slap him right on that stage

[szqsk8]

Dave had a quintuple bypass surgery so he should lay off the sake and if that mustard doesn't do him in nothing will!

[szqsk8]

LOL! Dave pouring the Sake into the salmon fish!

[gobblinmeat]

This is hilarious. Why do u ppl get so upset about dave, it's entertainment, he's taking the piss out himself more than anyone to get the audience and the guests into the moment. Plus he's shitfaced out of his mind, which makes him so fucking cool.

[N9BJJ]

One thing you don't do - knock back a jar of Colmans English Mustard - very, very hot. You wouldn't be able to taste anything after that.

[archive001]

is he show off to attract her !!

[fizzellicious]

That's sake! for heaven sake,don't waste it!

[johnnytastetest]

Late night talk show hosts are fond of sabotaging the guests who do cooking segments. I think they see it as an opportunity to act silly, but usually they only add way too much of the ingredients, fuck up the dish, and then chow down on the pre-prepared one before mentioning their new book or whatever. Letterman is acting like a total prick here, though.  If I were Nigella in this situation, I'd have slapped him in the face with that Salmon and never gone on his show again.

[alyxis11]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!­!!!!



[oxhana]

Amanda Peet seems so boring standing next to sexy Nigella, Dave is an idiot as always.

[v0zbox]

This is not 'American' humor. This is moronic. Nigella is less of a guest and more of a babysitter.

[foxsux6000]

notice the two bottles of saké, this was a set-up (this was 100% scripted)

[tonechaser56]

It is even funnier now that we know that Dave is a sex addict pervert and he was just acting like a jerk because he couldnt fuck her

[tetrulz]

i just hate david letterman and his lousy sense of humor.

[TheFever77]

Americans making the English look way smarter as usual.

[hjsca]

@TheFever77 Not sure how many programs from say, Japan you watch but they are goofier and dumber by miles. Don't think anybody call Japanese people 'not smart' (compared to English or whoever). This is Letterman at his best, has very little to do with not being smart.

[isradanbar]

nigella who????

i know paul bocouse and other chefs

[Twinman2]

@isradanbar LAWSON, Nigella. Obviously you wouldn't know her because she doesn't belong to Chefland like Paul Bocouse and yourself. But she's an amazing cook, and very talented writer who's won more than a few awards. Sorry to break the sad news, but sometimes beauty lies in simplicity.

[ToxikWaffle]

LMAO Paul at 4:30

[00Teca00]

he's not funny, he doesn't know when to stop

[tetrulz]

@00Teca00 i totally agree with you

[juanitolondres]

i dont find him funny at all she want to cook and him is just such a pain

[Hellisgood1]

I find them both funny... who wouldn't??? I'm from NZ and we never get to see this stuff

[nottodayimsleeping]

I'm from UK and I laughed at both of them. :D

[sundaegirl1965]

He's such an A@#hole....

[eizhowa]

In britain people would laugh more at Nigellas jokes than lettermans, I think... Cultural difference.

[tiuric77]

Yeah they have a very dry wit in england.

[uskyoxen]

This lady is so prickly and uninteresting it hurts.

[tiuric77]

Bingo bango.

[eizhowa]

It's more a case of her charm being overshadowed by Letterman vulgarity...

[ahsuknat]

here take my hand I mean he meant dick lol

[Aelliotb]

I like watching David Lettermans interviews but I don't find him funny

[Oecologeae]

This recipe is actually really delicious. I really like Nigella's dry humor.

[bernhardtsen74]

I had to turn up the volume when Paul sang!

Poor fish btw!

[gladgab]

negilla know how to handle him.

[wintermute70]

she has to be on something-she used to be more easy going she seems sorta wooden

Ok how the fuck does he not cough like all hell after eating straight mustard? she actually says "you're going to do yourself damage" cuz she knows it's spicy

[wintermute70]

when is this from, last fall?

[maijuna]

Peet looks kinda awkward and out of place there..

[tibaby2010]

yeah, kinda like when Sarah Jessica Parker cooked with Giada and Dave.

[factional]

A little teasing between Dave and Nigella. Very funny...

What was that music? "Chapping Broccoli"! Was there any broccoli at all?

[wintermute70]

what

[keeks410]

actually...if you really watch these two..you can tell they both have the same humor...they play off of each other very well!

[factional]

I agree with you. I am glad somebody else also sees the humor in this and understand that they are jocking with each other.

Some have write bad things about David Letterman in thier comment. They haven't understand that he is a comedian and Late show is a comedy show! Nothing personal to Nigella...

[talkblahblah]

I'm sure everyone realizes that. But it would have certainly helped if Dave was actually funny.

Most people know who Dave is, what he does and how he does it. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes (like in this case) it's not and it has nothing to do with Nigella or it being "classic Letterman", as someone mentioned above.

[keeks410]

well here's the thing...dave was kind of annoying (ie: when he hosted the oscars), but you think of it...it's JUST a cooking segment...no disrespect to nigella; i happen to love her! i just thought some of her fan's reactions were a bit too serious...ie: the reactions to some "critics" when he hosted the oscars!  it's movies and cooking. people get way too uptight!

[talkblahblah]

They're aren't fans, they're fangirls (be they female or otherwise). Taking something about their idol too seriously and blowing it out of proportions is what they do.

_You_ are taking them too seriously.

[keeks410]

lol i'm not taking them too seriously...that's why i said it was funny...hence the original comment i made prefaced with "lol". i find it funny her fans are mad at the way he "treated" her...as if they genuflect on her cooking segments

[SAUNDERMONSOON123]

She hates that he always does that

I LOVE HER SHE MAKES ME LAUGH

[RxOxSS]

Nigella Lawson Is HOT ! ! ! !

[macmtl]

She has been coming on Letterman for YEARS, they are actually good friends and she knows full well how the cooking segment always unfolds.

Ms.Lawson does not take this nearly as seriously as you people...sad really.

[ParkerAllen2]

Yeah, these reactions are silly. Nigella is obviously capable of taking care of herself and takes it all in stride. Letterman's had a show since the early 80s - anyone expecting him to act like a BBC host is clueless.

[joeynessily]

Clearly you have little knowledge of "BBC hosts". Jonathan Ross practically fucks Nigella every time she's on that show. Ross's cooking segments are also WAAAYYY more messy than this Letterman clip. So find yourself another "show host" stereotype benchmark in future.

[ParkerAllen2]

Well, you're reaction is even sillier than theirs. Everybody knows the BBC cliche - I've watched it in action enough times to know that it's not a myth. Why it would upset anyone to point it out I don't know - they're generally acknowledged as the standard for news.

[Jelperman]

I though Jon Woss was a pickle-kisser!

[kpsthebest]

true that after years of watchin letterman u always know its coming..

[keeks410]

i know i was just thinking that...nigella's fans are SERIOUS lol

[tabbycat123]

omg what an idiot. poor nigella.

[mercutio26]

He is such an ass...man...Nigella was probably thinking..."what a yank"

If i were her i'd walk off the stage...

Nigella is awesome! and i love her as a cook.

[Mimiix]

so right. He was funny at first,but later rather annoying. Nigella had great reactions though. :) Love her.

[gatsbygirl20]

Oh, terrible! I guess this is the price of "making it in America". Everything that makes Nigella unique, her brains, education, simplicity, beauty, British low-key wit, her love of home, hospitality, simple fresh food etc. is lost here. This guy's need to turn everything into slapstick comedy, to keep the focus on himself, reduces Nigella to a sitcom Italian momma stereotype. Note her good manners in trying to include the other guest. It's a long way from the BBC

[chickletta]

I agree with you on all points except 'that it's the price of making it in America." David Letterman is a self-centered host. It's because of him not America. She was on other shows - like the NBC's Today Show and it was all beautiful and natural with the folks there.

[holistichandsrn]

Nigella does not look pleased. I love her. She is a goddess.

[allbu849]

I think Dave was a bit edgier than usual because of the first seconds when she acted like she did not know that she had to shake his hand!

[ozmick126]

someone there has some class its not letterman.

sad old wanker

[darcykingston]

dave was acting like such a tosser. he's like the kid in the classroom who tries to be funny by spoiling the game instead of using wit and humour

[talkblahblah]

I'll second that. It seems to happen mostly in out-of-desk segments.

Having Amanda there didn't help either.

[CivilSerpant]

hahaha Daves a pimp

[esistmusik]

nigella looks really pissed off with letterman! HAHAHA

[hilaryduffrox80002]

@esistmusik That's cause his an old fart idiot who makes the lamest jokes and mocks her.

[allbu849]

@hilaryduffrox80002 Because you are one envious and jealous son of a bitch.... even if you live for thousand years you won't be as successful and rich as Dave... so go fuck your self.

[hilaryduffrox80002]

@allbu849 Ha! Jealous? Of him? You amuse me! Not in a million years honey. You cannot seriously believe that those words came out of jealousy. Nigella is magnificent and Dave mocks her...therefore I don't like him. I'm entitled to my own opinion and if you like Dave that's good for you. I really don't care. I like Nigella and therefore I'm not going to waste my time bickering with you over who is better and who is more successful. If you really want to cause drama it just shows your immaturity
