Cher was already somewhat famous at this point, but it was this interview that really pushed her over the edge to Diva status. EVERYONE was talking about her calling Letterman an asshole. She pretty much went from C+ to B+ overnight. Of course Cher then built on that with her movies and the album.
She was hostile when she came on, and it seems she was right to be so! Dave was really an a bolero her in subtle ways and not so subtle ways. And I love Dave! Very strange, but I can identify- you get defensive if you feel threatened! And maybe he did.or maybe he is just an a hole. Oh well, she was gorgeous and he was funny. I guess it worked out.
Cher is the definition of classic gorgeous. Shes also got one of the greatest voices ever, and a cool person. I like how she wasn't phony with Letterman, cool interview.
They say the "asshole" comment undid him for quite a long time. But isn't she great? She's so freakin' sexy. So self-confident, fun, mysterious, gorgeous. Probably a real bitch, but sure would be fun to bang.
People like Chris Elliot and Biff Henderson, or Larry BUD Melmon made the classic Letterman shows worth watching, and he did have funny lines like "I think you have a bus to catch", it's not really a dig at someone, it's mining for any good jokes, even at someone's expense...if they can play along, it's all about laughing and having a good time
@azzamonkeyman Yeah, I figured you got it 10 years wrong. :D She's such a special lady it wouldn't surprise me if she's around 'til she's 100! Because if it's one thing Cher does well it's coming back.
She was so beautiful in this interview...yes she is smart too...making her twice as dangerous...few men can handle a woman with that much in her tool kit.
hahahahahahaaa! i love love love cher! she is the funniest person ever. for a fat girl you dont sweat much! great. her and letterman really have some chemistry here... :PP
At a glance I think she looks a little like Terri Hatcher here. The whole hair and everything.... She looks stunning... and when she said she was 40!!! I thought she was about 25!!! Beautiful!!! :):)
I would pay to look like she does!! Thank you for posting!! :)
Doing the 10 toes up/10 toes down with people who work for you seems a little out of line? Seems to me I remember it was viewed as harassement. I'm sure he made his wife proud though.
Dave gave up drinking years before he started hosting late night shows and quit smoking cigars after his open heart surgery. EVERYONE "did" "Late Show" when he moved to CBS! EVERYBODY including that f**k knob Bill O'Reilly. "Late Show" is the best of the best!
Great to see David in good shape... Here he is nice to her because of the last time she was on his show. I didn't go so good. David could broke any mega star if they had their nose in the air or if he didn't like them... Like Madonna...
Yes! Before 2000, many big stars were afraid to participate in his show. They were accustomed to being treated like royalties but Dave saw and treated them like any other people. Contrary to Dave, Jay Leno kissed stars ass and was too nice to them. Dave had his heart surgery in 2000 and stopped drinking and smoking cigars. The new Dave was softer. Even though he was still very funny less unexpected thing happened on the air. Many stars revisited The Late Show. Operah, Cher, Madonna and many more
Like if he has done anything that any other man with some money and power wouldn't do... Big deal... He have had sex... Good for him and the females...
She really threw him off his game. Dave looks like a little kid having his first schoolboy crush on his teacher. She's so cool and direct. She's the only woman I know who got better looking as she got older.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
it would be hard to tawk to any celeb... bt i think Cher would be the most difficult. shes so blunt and seems ignorant. although i do really luv her music.
I think she's extremly wise and smart. She's fascinating and that must be hard for any interviewers but she's so natural and honest so she must put you at ease. I do love that.
I do think she's smart. She came from a very poor family and became one of the most popular and bankable performers and you can't say she's not talented even if you don't like her: she used her image like nobody else and she's so good at multitasking (Tv Star, rock star, movie star). I do believe she is intelligent and she's not even acting like old diva bitches who believe they invented everything in music. She knows what she's worth but she never comes and says "Hey, I'm the Queen".
what is she saying at 4:18 ???!!! I've tried to figure it out for months. To me it sounds like "it's that for a fact or you don't sweat much". Makes no sense!! Please enlighen me. :)
You have to be familiar with the original David Letterman shows to truly appreciate this interview. It's friendly banter...too fun. As he said, only Cher would have the nerve to call him an asshole to his face. Go Cher! =)
@lorijo87 I'm guessing she wrote "No more Sonny & Cher questions, or I walk". She was quite obviously subdued, if not pissed, after the photos came out.
I love Cher and David is great. Yet they are so different.. That is why this seems a bit jumpy. Both have their own drummers and they will never meet.
Yes especially for females. If you had a tatoo you regarded as either a biker,punk or bulldyke. Preppie colledge kids from the burbs did not get tatoos.
Cher is so fascinating too watch and listen to....
