Nigella Lawson on The Late Show with David Letterman

[swissm8]

that was absolutely disrespectful mister letterman! shame on you!!

[staceyjudith]

the way he touches that salmon!! creepy!! i almost feel like poor mr. salmon's being molested!! :( like a perverted old man feeling up a young girl's thigh!! *shudders*

[Blogengezer]

Dave Letterman is NOT at all portraying an average working bloke living in the states. 'The show' is the only reason for his even being, nothing more. Nigella deserves far better, but this 'entertainment' is what the lower class seems to enjoy after dark. Her real audience will be the more educated folks that enjoy her friendliness and communication skills. Her demeanor and simple cooking approach are highly desireable. Her physical attributes are classic and a refreshing return to sensibility.

[MrJuancarlosferrero]

nigella should've slapped him, cooking is a way of life, i couldnt gone thru with it after the saki pouring. what's the point, its ruined anyway.

[80Cetbal08]

Try and watch the one where she is on Regis and Kelly: watch?v=gjCB3T0NXGg&feature=re­lated

EXACT same behaviour from the male hosts. SO embarrassing.

[TheSaintAza]

Wow i usually like letterman but he was a complete cunt here, treating your guests like shit too get a laugh isn't cool.

[Kuwa6ara]

hahaha I don't usually find Dave funny but when he strolled over and poured Sake down that salmon, that was gold.

He tries a bit too hard though, mostly.

[Azurju]

Dave is a comedian. Nigella would be smart enough to expect this going on a comedian's late night TV show.

[Casinhaish]

This guy suck!!!!! Not funny at all, just silly

[lonesomeflower]

I seem to end up watching this letterman guy purely because he has some great guests but I never like him, what an awful man ... Nigella has a good attitude towards him, treating him like the infantile idiot he is ...

[lonesomeflower]

I seem to end up watching this letterman guy purely because he has some great guests but I never like him, what an awful man...

[mej974]

@lonesomeflower The thing is he thinks he is funny, he host's one of the biggest chatshow's in America and all he does is make cringe worthy moments

[pumpkinghost]

How is this guy allowed on TV? rude to his guests, behaves like a child. Nigella stays completly calm and professional even though you can tell she just wants to tell him to fuck up

[retroclipps]

Nigella is classy, lovely and elegant as always. Nothing Dave does or says fazes her in the least. She puts him in his place like an adult gently scolding a child each time he tries to upstage her. And Dave can't stand it.. but there's nothing he can do about it. He's way out of his league with Nigella. The more of bafoon he acts.. the classier she becomes. He can't win and he knows it.

[stoicblitzer]

dave, you're such a punk. you are in the presence of a goddess. show some respect, man!!

[MonicaLee1995]

Nigella seemed pissed out

[yumpreston]

Letterman was incredibly rude... but with Nigella's wittiness, it didn't even matter in the end!

[garrieg1]

Why not treat nigella with respect instead of trying to get cheap laughs .this bloke is a arse hole

[hunkhk]

Nigella is NOT impressed Dave is such an asshole - dont fuck with the kitchen goddess

[hunkhk]

Nigella is NOT impressed Dave is such an asshole

[SacArrival]

David is funny as hell Lol

[townsjim]

Letterman isn't funny

[mrminimuzza]

There's something about Nigella's intelligence and David's idiocy that simply isn't compatible on television.

[10Kurty10]

I think Dave was fine here, he was in the same form as the last time Nigella was on and she still comes back to the show!

I think she might appreciate someone who doesnt take cooking too seriously

[ieatnoodles888]

not funny..i pity nigella

[magicamoon]

Nigella Lawson is such a beautiful and lovely woman. David Letterman so very very rude! It`s a shame. Usually I often find him funny, but here he just has no manners. So unbelieveable rude : (

[Goldenwaves1]

What a rude man!

[JJJListener]

wow that is hillarious. Give the fish a drink of sake... gold

Nigella was looking a little up tight, not her usual fun self, but dave is used to getting the limelight and boy did he drag it away from her!

She could have worked together with Dave and made it a win win situation for both of them. Dave would have been up for it.

[curtainpower]

Wow. What a douche.

[Gerschanel]

he is sucha spa!

[xgldngx]

he's just extremely rude and obnoxious...not even funny

[grantapuslafsalot]

You can Nigella's getting pissed off with him, but who wouldn't lol.

[SuperThedefender]

i love her and i think there are times to be funny and other times to learn something usefull.

[halogen123]

Who the hell is that David Letterman? He seems like such a twat. Or just one of those creepy horny old men you see lurking under bridges.

[SmileySmilerton]

Dave, you're great, but this crosses a line.. you come across as a stupid kid with ADD. Way to go, embarassing your guest. Hope the laughs were worth it.

[ruteparedes]

I dont know what the big deal is with letterman. He is abrasive and rude most of the time. 

[mumbs45]

threw his back out on that jacket toss

[Supernatural20101]

This clip great because it shows how irritating, childish and out of control letterman is, and Nigella should have poured that whole bottle of wine over his head.

[pscobie]

Letterman is a douche

[Salahuddin2009a]

Look how fat she is! She wants to make everybody fat so that her big Jewish ass is not so obvious anymore! Eat like a pig till you look like JEWS!

[agataAgatha]

he's sucha douche.

[Keyo717]

She's hot..... But so what...Dave was just having fun... I mean lets face it who cares about watching her cook on his show it was a dumb booking and I'm sure he thought it was a waste of time which it was. If she wasn't hot it REALLY would have sucked.

[RawrDanceSchool]

This man needs a ba-doom-tish every joke he cracks. He isn't funny. He is an annoying little man who unsuccessfully tired to belittle Nigella. She's far to dignified and clever for that twerp.

[Cozie21ditss]

I love it how she is so pissed off with him, but she's being so professional about it. Thats why i love this girl. The look on her face says it all. hahaha best!!!!!!!

[Jonboyjono88]

Nigella handeled that so well!! David letterman is an ass either way. Yea that's how the show is but he is now even more of an ass and she has even more respect.

[RitmoNo1]

What a total waste of Nigella's time. A seriously good cook and highly regarded by her peers (and UK public), treated like Side Show Bob. Letterman acts like a bar room jock.

[maaaani1]

Excellent retort by Nigella at 3:33... she is such a dignified lady in front of that Letterman....

[Twinman2]

@maaaani1 lool Damn right. And he got owned AGAIN 30 seconds later at 4:02  :)

[BRADxWBAFCxENG]

Lol you can just tell the audience were americans, act like a clown and youll have them eating out of the palm of your hand

[allinlodz]

David fucked up here... And for people who say he's about joking... This WAS NOT funny, it was pathetic and stupid.

[NICNICNICKIFY]

I hate him now !! nigella is my hero !! i hate him now !!!

[Annizz1991]

i bet she was well annoyed afterwards lol she doesnt look too happy working with him...

[112vian]

how perverse of him. degrades the beauty and grace of cooking

[ToAcUt]

letterman is an attention whore

[lemonvalkyrie]

If you ever watch his shows you will understand that this IS his style of humor. Poor Nigella, not her thing.

[CobinRain]

Poor Nigella! The things she has to put up with. David Letterman will not be getting a dinner invitation from the Hon Nigella Lawson anytime soon.

[puppetoz]

Nigella being wonderful doing what she does best....David Letterman being er er er - his embarrassing self. In short- a moronic pig.

[monsieurhassan]

Screw all the Letterman haters, this is what the show has always been about, go watch nickolodeon if you can't handle this

[pappukumar420]

u guys r such babies...this is his USP...this ain't no cooking show...he is having fun and that's what the show is about...get some perspective kids....

[kurt30001]

Letterman is such a idiot ! Nigella IQ is 200 compared to this guy !! She has so much beauty and class !!

[theothertroll]

@kurt30001 - too bad with all her millions she isn't leaving a dime to her kids

[1324acb]

I think he really is acting disrespectful

[NeoWolf07]

i have to say nigella looks really uncomfortable doing this...

[LowleyUK]

Hes rude and he thinks he's funny, he was worse with jamie oliver though, he is a fucking eunuch

[whitbyjet65]

Letterman is a vagina.

[baldcat59]

what a twat - and he gets paid for this.

[HellFireKane]

He's a jerk around hot women because he's a perevert.

[aggiealicealexis]

Wow, 3 seconds in and he's just absentmindedly shoved her across the side of the table.

[krakra58]

o come on, she´s been on his show a couple of times..she knows how he is...and she don´t mind as long as she gets publicity ey?!

[djXcapist]

Nigella's a capricorn, if you want to please her (letterman) thats not the way to do it! you're just pissing her off xD

[kjsdfuoer]

i admit letterman can be obnoxious and arrogant at times, but not here. hes just having a little fun. it would be pretty boring watching her make salmon without him there

[adlozi]

wow he acts like a real jerk here..

[cuckoo61]

she didn't get to explain ANY of the recipe because of that annoying old childish little man. she doesn't deserve that crap :( good thing she put him in his place :)

[shadeofme12]

Manners?

[genldoz]

Somebody get this tired old poof off of my TV.

[sanjay52504]

paul was like "choppin broccoliiii" lol

[SCUBBITY]

He is a total prick, she is a goddess !

[gmcaveety93]

Sorry? Whats funny about watching an old guy rammin drink and food down his throat? Why does he keep doing that? I've watched him doing it in the last 4 videos...

[TheDarchorse]

David, did she refuse your casting couch? Poor old man - another jew bites the dust LOL. Nigella you are as close to a perfect human being as is possible xxx

[newyork2804]

He is one ignorant sod

[epanormaalinrajamail]

Are all americans like that, no manners at all.

Poor Nigella to put up with that.

[ivelosthewilltolive]

Must be a lot of Brits here today.

[grandallegro]

lol he said " she's gonna be a newlywed" instead of new mom. He is a successful example of a moronic adult with severe ADD.

[NP1D305]

Letterman must have the attention on him ALL the time! Can't allow any of his guests to take the floor for more than a few seconds without interrupting them and steering the attention back to himself. What a complete arse! He totally ruined this cookery segment with boreish "fratboy" behaviour. Not funny, not cool. TWAT! Nigella - you deserved a medal after this.

[lazymuthafukka]

did he say u have beutiful THUMB ?

[dirosaga]

lol dave is a porfessional douchebag

[lizziloo]

poor nigella! David is ruining it for her! LOL!

[tetrulz]

haha nigella just gave up... and did what she had to do.

[douchebag21]

poor Nigela , i bet that sick bastard was trying to grope her delicious buttocks and ample tits

[frdrcksncn]

okay, I like jay, but I kind of lost some of my respect here because in a way she pissed nigella- who i love waaaaaaaaaay more

[boztone]

I love Nigella, but I'm a bit disappointed that she doesn't know how to pronounce SAKE.

[curlysheepwool]

she kinda looks pissed at him

[CSPN111]

i love Nigella!

but idk im not liking david on here,

hes acting way too rude?! its

not even funny anymore at some parts,.

[aristotleschild]

@CSPN111 Another embarrassed American reporting here.

[SuperThedefender]

@CSPN111 yeeep.

[rrtodd95]

@CSPN111 She came on the show pissed off still about the way Dave acted on her first appearance and the man not to be outdone made an even bigger twat out of himself.

The woman is beautiful, charming, funny and unbelievably sexy I don't understand why he has to be such a rude ass. Dave should watch Jonathan Ross to see how to be cheeky and yet remain likable.

[SugarKatie]

i usually like dave but he didnt respect the guest and food. i know he wants to be funny, but what a waste of time when we can learn nothing from the guest and her cooking

[SuperThedefender]

@SugarKatie agreed!

[Vercene]

1:05 is he trying to head butt her tits?

[Prolife29]

What a REAL idiot, for someone whose the oldest in the room he sure as hell doesn't show any sign of maturity here and what a waste for such a sweet person as Nigella to come on this stupid show, it's supposed to be about her cooking and David's acting like a 4yr old dumbass!

[stefaniapowers]

He's very2 silly, iddiot and RUDEEEEEE.............

[MeggiePoops]

And Nigella has been on Letterman more than a few times, so she must know what's going on.

[MeggiePoops]

I guess you guys don't realize that Letterman is known for joking around and acting awkwardly with celebs much like Jonathan Ross does when he interviews musicians and makes an ass out of himself. I like Nigella as much as anyone, but you guys need to lighten up and consider the atmosphere in which she was presenting.

[REdirectURL]

"I guess you guys don't realize that Letterman is known for joking around and acting awkwardly"

I know your comment is old. But that is what bullies say. It's not fair to justify his behaviour and tell people to "lighten up". Everyone is entitled to an opinion.

[phantomofmyopera]

Is Nigella the only one who's not drunk?

[rhapsda]

He's such an arse!

[gabannaania174]

She handled herself very well and much like a lady even though letterman was a jerk

[n4859]

i like dave, but this is just stupid. this is beneath leno even...

[FM897]

This video is infuriating.

[DAVEBLISS2007]

English Class v American Turd.

Letterman is an ignorant overpaid prick, who apeals to a brainded sector of gun toating, NFL fans from middle America. Trying to upstage a guest as showstopping as Nigella, he makes himself look like the idiot. that he is. Americans always capable of trivializing great things. Letterman you are a disgrace, and you should be sacked. Nigella your handled him so very well.

Score: Nigella 1 = Letterman 0

[FM897]

I agree with you. I know it's his show but I guess I just don't like him.

[dctruckguy]

@DAVEBLISS2007  You are right. I love Nigella, I can watch her all day. Letterman is a idiot. One thing you said is wrong. Dave Letterman is a liberal. No self respecting gun toater would watch him. Plus mid America wouldn't watch him either.

Nigella makes food sexy.

[kweenpatzy]

OMG!! just lets the woman cook man!! HES SO ANNOYING!

[SRNF]

its his show and hes a comedian what do you expect?

[kweenpatzy]

hes meant to have respect for his guests and make them feel welcome, not awkward and uncomfortable

[SRNF]

hm noo....letterman is KNOWN for his akwardness thats why hes funny...shes been on the show many times if she felt bad shes just a bitch for coming back

[melosebrainuhoh]

Um, no. Being respectful to celebrities doesn't make for good television. It's boring. It's... Leno. Letterman's been annoying guests for twenty years and anybody who goes on his show should be ready for it.

[cuckoo61]

@melosebrainuhoh that's just because he can. nobody will tell him not to do something, which kinda shows he's full of himself and doesn't really CARE about his guest

[melosebrainuhoh]

@cuckoo61 It's not about caring about the guest. It's about making the show entertaining, and Letterman's method for doing that involves him acting like an obnoxious dweeb. Obviously it's not for everyone, but they can just turn the channel to something else.

[cuckoo61]

@melosebrainuhoh i guess that's true but it's kinda sad i just wanted to watch nigella doing her thing (as everyone here i suppose) and didn't expect this. i'll just watch other serious videos instead ;)

[yourLoyalBaron]

Nigella is so gorgeous she makes Amanda Peet look homely, ha.

[ririhugs]

OMG David Letterman is on his show and apparently he wanna show he's the boss, even if he's terribly annoying for Nigella, who's here to cook...

[Shahzaadee16]

dave is soo annoying. u can tell she was.

[LadyFlameSniper]

Agreed, why was he squishing the fish? and why did he invite Nigella if he wanted to have everyone play attention to him.

[GlanceofGlory]

Sad clown syndrome, usually I like David Letterman but this former alcoholic downing saki says it all. Good luck booking the splendiferous Nigella again!

[livingElvis]

I can't pull my finger on what those Dave critics had on their minds. Dave always makes funny comments and smart observations about things, that's who he is. And cooking isn't supposed to be a boring thing... And it wasn't with Jamie Oliver and others on his show. What do I think of her? Really nice cook, though I tend to agree with Gordon Ramsay in some points.

[Adam360Gamer]

Poor Nigella, she hid it well but you can notice her being annoyed by his quit naive and silly disturbance.

[SRNF]

shes been on the show over 3 times and he makes fun of cooking everytime.

[geewhiz76]

Nigella is a class act. Dave ... aint ...

[saraenayath963]

David was acting SO stupid..his old age is getting the better of him.

[Fiasco6Radio6Show6]

Letterman does this with most cooking features he has on the show and I think it's quality. So Nigella is trying to further her career in the U.S. by cooking some salmon. Who gives a sh1t? Dave's turned an otherwise mundane feature into something funny. As if anyones gonna write down the recipe and do it. I'm glad Nigella got goofed on.

[morcoschris]

Did you notice who posted this video? Nigella! I think she posted it because she DIDN'T goof. She did a great job....and Dave was his normal self--good or bad whatever you decide.

[Phillyfinale]

Just an outside point here (I think Dave and Amanda are hilarious and Nigella knows what she's in for all the time), but this isn't Nigella Lawson posting...obviously it's a fan/fansite, it even says media resource.

[lumpfish99]

oh dave....shes smart and you were funny to a point but well i guess getting old has its downsides.......hey! lucky you are in the us were the people are so dumb they believe obama will make their lives better!!!!

[regnarts79]

Nigella is smart. She could cut him with her tongue

[luticia]

what a idiot!

[IIAlphaJerkII]

wow, david is completely obnoxious

[inaveneanar]

wow...david is high in this one.

[l8velife]

awesome@love that.merry x'mas

[belljar18]

I usually like Letterman but he was a complete jerk

[AngryTypingGuy27]

What an ensemble.

[jacquesjapan]

Dave is hilarious.

[jacquesjapan]

It is SAA KAY not SAA KEE.

[genoise3]

He's not being rude. He's just silly. And Nigella doesn't seem bothered in the slightest! She's a good sport.

[bluegamjas]

no you cant tell nigella is actually a bit annoyed

[zettler15151]

Nigella fans shouldnt take this so seriously, this is letterman being letterman, if this segment seemed awkward it was because both the girls made it that way. Dave is the greatest, this is him trying to make a cooking segment funny for late night television. He would do the same regardless of who the geust chef is.

[zettler15151]

*guest

[sto1ensou1]

the host looked drunk.

-peace out-

[hyuckhyuckhyuck]

Wow, the host is so rude.

[garyhaun]

Brilliant...! Reminiscent of the old "Galloping Gourmet" series... I Love Nigella's approach to cooking... she di ok with Letterman's humor, however she could have loosened up a bit... but hey... we all tend to take ourselves a bit too serious at times... overall VERY entertaining...!

[zoesmybaby]

we must seem terribly rude to the British ppl

[batshevac]

Truly you do.. when I was watching this I was shocked at the hosts behavior and Nigella also looked miffed..

[alal22000]

Can't wait for her next DVD series "Nigella Express" to release in Australia. Love her cookery shows and she's entertaining so, that makes it so watchable. Till date, I've collected all her series on DVD and love them so so much. I've tried some of her dishes and especially the chocolate mouse, which was the best I've ever got from any TV cookery show.

[reika1104]

i wont deny cuz i cant wait it any longer neither.....LOL

[freitasex]

You held your own very well.

[JackWilkins]

She sure did! A true professional,Someone had to be....
