Valerie Bertinelli interviewed by David Letterman

[judewishedhimselfout]

Pauls a douche.

[Jako32]

omg I DO think shes strung out on coke or something along those "lines" lol. She really never came across as "conceited" or snobby- quite the opposite. But, shes carrying herself like Madonna did in 1994 when she was also supposibly high. Yeah, Valerie is def wried on something.

[xoxBabyGirl19xox]

she metions this interview in her book losing it admitting to not being into the interview.

[dilwich123]

ARTIE FUFKIN - POLYMER RECORDS!

[snoops71]

As for this interview, I find her very annoying and conceited.

Thumbs down.

[snoops71]

I remember when they were both on the CBS team of Battle of the Network Stars in Nov.1978. Dave didn't interact with anyone really. As for Val, well she was sweeter than sweet :)

[evh7775150]

WHORE!

[MsSparkleShoes]

if you read her book it says in it that she was extremely nervous. Not high.

[gunraykilla]

LOL there is a sign that says no smoking but eddie has a cigarette in his headstock

[DefLeppardVanHalen]

Valerie's a sexy fox; still is.

[MrPissed1]

ya she is wired ! it is a very uncomfortable interview !

[samgod]

Funny how one of the top living guitar players is standing off to the side in cast in shadow like a hired hand.

[ccy2]

Her eyes are a bit glazed..

[ritzadee]

omg dave and paul were young!!!

i didnt kno they did interviews back then!!!

valerie seems pretty cool=p

[synthrock1]

she seems a little edgy in this interview

[justfine77777]

She seems a little high....

[jophus82]

I agree and she was met with some fucked up passive aggression at 4.20

[MishuTaste]

She likes to date musicians.

[cheyenne86]

When I was a young I saw her and thought she was so pretty. She still is.

[DesiluTrek]

She's about two years older than me, and One Day at a Time started in '75 just as I was hitting puberty ... so she's been one of my all-time favorite cuties for, wow, about 34 years now!

No surprise to me that she could pull off that awesome People cover!

[ritter89]

@DesiluTrek I know she was a crush for many teenage boys but I never found her even remotely attractive.She's certainly not homely or anything but she's always been annoying to me. She seems really naive and self centered and far too worried about her appearance, weight, etc. She looks almost oriental. I seriously doubt that anyone would be interested in her today were it not for her marriage.

[tartfuel]

@ritter89 People are Asian. Rugs are Oriental.

[shitonMOHAMMAD]

@tartfuel

wrong, people are ORIENTAL. Orientals have somehow hijacked the entire continent of Asia. There are ASIAN Caucasians and Australoids too. Indians are Asian, qas are Armenians, Iranians, Turks, Israelis, Pakistanis etc...She therefore, is ORIENTAL

fuck you Mr. language pc cop

[fiomily225]

@tartfuel there you go lol

[Avatarblackwolf]

1985, you know she had a nice bush, none of that bald tottler look like girls today have. Hair on it like a women should.

[fins142]

I saw her recently on Shatner's raw and she had very nice things to say about Eddie. She claims they're close friends.

[SexyLilLezNTx]

Her autobiography was FABULOUS. From the moment I started reading I couldnt put it down. I read the entire book in 1 night. Its addicting. I LOVE HER!!!

[leppard55]

total babe !

[1pick2sticks]

I can't believe she cheated on Eddie and didn't tell him.........For Years! I'm on page 138 of her book.

[football315]

woman are hores no matter how much money

[dishwithtrish]

such intellect...LMAO

[tigertbalm]

I didn't think the interview was as bad as her book makes it sound. Her voice sounds strange and much deeper than usual, like she had a bad cold.

[LMorgan1234]

She was probably on cocaine at this time and it makes her voice all raspy.

[misshair]

I am embarrassed to say I semi=idolozed this woman growing up...bad for her to slam her ex when she was no angel...........

[happyjoe4ever]

god way to make your hubby feel good by talking about your ex on national t.v. this is hard to watch poor ed!

[sayitisntso]

I don't know why she thought it went bad--I thought it was fine.

[zigg99]

She prob didn't watch Letterman much back then. I seem to recall many of Letterman's interviews being somewhat awkward and very unpolished. That's what drew a lot of people to the show in the early days.

[kermitneville]

That wasn't awkward or anything.

[akat32]

I don't think she's giving a bad interview. The audience was probably just expecting cute, perky "Valerie Bertinelli" and they got a real person instead.

[menudoxscm]

I think Valeri said that she had an affair in 1985, the year of this interview. So, many that's why she seems so bitchy in this interview, many it was a rough time? Who knows, who cares. Eddie rocks, though.

[koing32]

valerie is one uptight bitch

[mka800]

Why did Eddie ever marry a woman who looks just like him? It would be like being gay. Or worse. Being gay with yourself.

[gatita0281]

I'm reading her book too, and she does say it was a bad interview. She seems to just blurt things out and I think it just got more uncomfortable (Dave and Paul don't do anything to help her here). She was trying to downplay the whole Penthouse Most Beautiful thing and I think it just came off badly. Love the 80s outfit! Her book is really good, and she's brutally honest about herself and her shortcomings, very real in the book. Everyone bombs on TV occasionally....Dave at the Oscars, anyone?

[GooBooFilms]

why is val so pissed off?

[giantmike]

OHHHHHHHHHHH Dropin loads!!!!!!!

[InXanadu2]

I'm surprised she didn't mention her first experience being a guest role on the short-lived "Apple's Way".

[MissPigi]

She seems very nasaly and all coaked up.

[JMartinez8351]

I'm reading her book right now. I checked it out of the library because I refused to give her money. She wasn't an angel as she protrayed heself to be. I always thought it was Eddie at fault but she slept around and at a very young age. Ughhhhhhh

[kinatua]

I agree with Fredika27 100%. I used to be a Letterman fan, but after seeing how he hangs a great guest out to dry to make her feel uncomfortable with no sense of decency or intelligent questions, he's off my list. And, for that matter, could it have killed Paul to say something gracious like, "yeah Valerie, I did miss the boat. Look at you now!" Perhaps Dave and Paul have learned a little about showing some class since then....

[TaylorRock123]

Yeah, I read in the book that she HATED this interview. She says that she was uncomfortable/mad and that the Penthouse thing was annoying, or something like that. I will say she was a good actor. I would of NEVER guessed that she was uncomfortable or mad or anything on this show? I mean she's laughing and stuff you know? Like the tushe part she said a drop of sweat was running down her back she was so nervous and uncomfortable. Well, I don't know I still love her and Eddie. lol

[musicjunkie207]

in her book she said she was soooo upset with ed during this interview and completly bombed it. You can tell she's mad.

[vanhalenking]

Val lost her looks after marriage. She is a fatty.

[sholstein]

I always thought Valerie was a little full of herself, maybe because of the extra notoriety she got after marrying Ed.

[JMartinez8351]

you are so right sholstein. she is full of herself.

[mlmr11]

When you're being interviewed you're usually being asked questions about you and your life.

Should she have been full of someone else?

[achilleslaststand85]

fuck eddie is such a kool guy, even nowadays.

[fredrika27]

What I can't get over is Letterman had Valerie in his chair for almost 1o minutes and didn't ask her one decent question. I can't believe that he has stayed on the air for so long with such poor interview skills! What a waste of a guest!

[womanonthinice]

Oh Valerie, you are such a smart ass...not cool...especially on DL...you are not that hot...80's hair uuggghhh

[thesethingz]

well it was the 80's

[danimation777]

i love her especially now!

[love2Laugh2day]

funny how everyone thought these two had it made,, how every chick wanted eddie v and every guy wanted valerie, turns out they had a crap marriage, cheated on each other all the time and did drugs most of the time,, nice,,,they should be on Jerry Springer,, i would still let valerie shag me.

[burton48]

Letterman is a lousy, rude interviewer who is compelled to try to make his guests look bad to cover for his own inadequacies and lack of talent. Valerie is still a class act.

[hariseldon59]

How exactly was Dave rude to Valerie in this interview? I didn't think he said anything offensive to her whatsoever.

[burton48]

I think grabbing a Penthouse magazine and asking her about being rated in some article, certainly written without her participation or request to be considered, was unkind. I thought that set the stage for her being uncomfortable during the rest of the interview. All of this is a matter of opinion, but I just did not think Valerie Bertinelli deserved to be treated that way. I guess we all see things differently.

[believr77]

@burton48

Yeah, he's a douche. Prolly upset cuz one of his interns wouldn't go with him into his "bunker" room.

[mattzane227]

@burton48 go watch leno

[mofugger38]

so what are the tell tell signs that shes on the peruvian marching powder

[andropoulis]

valeries coked out

[LaughtasticX]

This video was painful and funny at the same time.

[SewnSeed]

valerie sounds like she was on steroids with that deep voice.

[TaylorRock123]

Oh brother....

[burton48]

Valerie Bertinelli is a doll. She made Letterman look inept as a host.

[myrnaturner]

I just read her book. She said she "totally bombed" on Letterman and that she was never asked back.

Letterman is kind of a prick here.

[webmasterd]

lol. isn't letterman always a prick?

[evh5150316]

Elevator operator named Patti?

Funny how in her book she mentioned that Ed might have been fooling around with.....Patti Smyth. Hehe....coincidence?........ma­ybe.....but Ed's face looked kind of shocked for a split second.

[Obelisk2290]

Well Patty Smythe was ed's first choice to replace roth

[evh5150316]

Yes but Val, in her book, was concerned that Ed was interested in Patti.

[evh5150316]

I would not be surprised if Val did a little blow before this interview.

[Obelisk2290]

Paul was 27 and val was 16. Interesting. Im 43 and the girl I am seeing is 18, though i have not met the parents.

[webmasterd]

Your my idol!!! haha.

[Obelisk2290]

just being me

[todieandwither]

A DICK?

[TaylorRock123]

Wow.

[missdiva96]

Paul likes women?! Huh?!

[llook05]

LOL

[ezrinjem]

YOKO ONO BROKE UP VAN HALEN! Don't blame Valerie!!

[Deke100]

Paul talks about Val a bit more on his new site "jewtube, don't miss it.

[rdipoalo]

What a cold, uptight, conceited woman. She is (or was) very pretty, but man that personality of hers is just annoying.

[wolfiesafatty]

Your mom is cold, uptight, and conceited.

[cradmoor]

I think Letterman says "how ya doin, nice to see ya" to every guest he has ever had on is show.

[astra1968]

That bitch fuckes up Edward's rockin' mind.

[sniper763]

astra1968, how can you say that, when after they were married was when van halen made their biggest hits...

[astra1968]

She hated Roth. And that was the starting point of the split. Together with Edward's alcohol abuse and Roth being a madia star. Eddie never liked it, when Roth was more in the picture.

[sniper763]

Roth tried taking ed out of the spotlight, by telling him no more guitar solos etc(check out his interviews). Anyways I wouldn't have minded dave being in longer, but Hagar didnt hurt things either. Considering with Hagar the wrote all of their own stuff, and made it to the top of the charts...

[xdeadxgrlsuprstr]

Hagar didnt write ROCK songs...he Wrote BALLADS!...thats not Van Halen..

[DonTrustZepHaters]

finally someone agrees

[xdeadxgrlsuprstr]

=DD

[spawnofwheezedog]

Jenny Craig is good to her she is hot now!

[RealTime88]

Oh yes!!! She looks really hot then and she looks better now yes? She looked taller than in this interview. I loved the big hair of the 1980's on the laides!!!

[galileo30]

lol...what? Why do you think she coked up?  She seems fine.

[cvjucla3]

She's coked up.

[alrozz]

I met Valerie back at Metro studios in 1978 and we talked briefly and she had told me that she loved van Halen and guess what..she marry;s Eddie...I had first thought of that! 1978 Folks...wonder who Iam?????

[wjv4me]

Yes, who are you? Your profile says you

live in GA. It seems she's happier now.

[alrozz]

I was at Metro studios in 78 and did few cover tracks for Sweet19 and the drummer was Tommy Lee, he left the band and formed another band which became Motley Crue and that set him to stardom. I knew Tommy before he made it big and I left Hollywood back in 1979 and joines the Airforce. My music career kind of went down hill frome there.

[chadloflin20]

Basterd!

[auginator14]

umm.... so what? who gives a shit....

[chadloflin20]

She is just too cute.

[wjv4me]

Ya know, what caring Mom would allow a 15 or

16 year old even think of letting her kid go out on tour....who cares about his education? Plenty of time to tour...hmmm...maybe Eddie has something on her re: custody...very strange...

[199191]

he old enough to drop out and you cant tell me if the band you were in made over 2 million dollars a show that you wouldnt quit school. and for the rest of sam fans just quit crying

[wjv4me]

Nope, just hope Wolfie won't O.D. or be a "Paris Hilton" sleeze type dude. Very young to be playing in a band...maybe it'll

work out - then again - Daddy Warbucks owns

the show!

[Kittens38]

She does seem coked up unfortunately and not too nice...

NOW I get it. I met Wolfie in Cleveland at the Ritz and he snubbed everyone and would not even utter a hello. People said to chalk it up to age and early fame I say he got his mommy's true disposition..cause his Dad and Uncle were fine.

[BoruJudasDedrich]

Valerie is beautiful inside and out...AND she can act.

At least one of her movies received an Emmy...and you have to see her performance in Murder of Innocence.

Crazy...as...hell.

[Hunkola]

This chick was one of the hottest ladies of the 80s.....Eddie was a lucky guy to be nailing that every night! Face, ass, legs....ALL KILLER!!!! But nowadays she's a frumpy old Mom...funny how life works out....

[wjv4me]

No, google/research it, he played around all the time, she caught V.D. from him when she'd conceived Wolfie...dig deeper, it really wasn't much of a marriage. Got accidently pregnant after 10 years...gotta research it. Family probably forced her to marry him when her Mom saw they were having sex, etc. What Mom would let her dtr. date this guy (& Speilberg at age 16 or 17?)!

[Hunkola]

Where do you come up with all this garbage? What STD did she get? What proof that she fucked around? You sound like a moron with all these fabricated lies....

[chadloflin20]

I would drink her bathwater.

[thunderstruck665]

I was head over heels in love with Valerie when I was five years old and 21 years later, I still am.

[bengel1968]

This bitch was the beginning of the end of VanHalen with DLR. For Eddie the fun was over. And he took care the rest. Throw Dave out, throw Sammy twice out, hired Cherone... and on and on and on. And he ended up alcoholic. Get your stuff together now Edward, you lost the bitch, call Dave and get the band together.

[idotvads]

What a crock of shit. Eddie was the cause of his own addictions.... while he was off chasing every piece of pussy besides his wife. Shut the fcuk up with your scapegoating Valerie.

[bengel1968]

Yes, Eddie was the cause of his own addiction. Eddie is not a very guy, ask Michael Anthony and Roth. Amongst others. The combination of alcohol, Valerie and his character, made him destroy VanHalen, his own flesh and blood. As DLR says it; "Eddie is only happy, when he's unhappy".

I stand by every word I said.

[gizzerd66]

She is all coked up.

[skunkiepoo]

Valerie has ALWAYS been beautiful, inside and out. She does not seem stuck up at all. She has always come across as being very sweet and down to earth. She is gorgeous thin, overweight, whatever.

[koing32]

valerie is now a spokesmodel for slim fast

[angelanwtn]

Don't you mean Jenny Craig?

[mrtelevision]

Valerie is still a wonderful woman!

[Route41productions]

Paul likes jail bait I see, oh Pauly. I never liked Eddie, she should date David Lee Roth or better yet...ME : )

[KramerKustom]

to: Route41productions

Val should date DLR or ..who ?? you ?? who the fuck you think you are ??? you piece of shit!

[irateyourvideo2]

if not for eddie and valerie, the world wouldn't of had wolfgang amadeus cheesecake.

[gaspo218]

Wolfie's the new VH bass player.

[contact1araya]

I am pretty sure she did a line or two with ed in her day too

[1970sGirl]

Valerie is STILL beautiful, extra pounds or no.She's just a lovely person, inside and out. Have admired her since she was a teen.

[gregfujita]

Paul is soo funny. He has great comedic timing

[Lava1964]

I think she was pretty fine from age 16 to 20.

[ldylkr]

I don't know-she seems a lot hotter now.

[theratfarmer]

she was hot back then.

shes hot now 2007, little chunky,i dont care, hot

mama,ohhhhh yeahhhhhhhhh,emmmmm, nice. she must be a libra.....

ok im done

sexy .

[theratfarmer]

ahhhhh, lol. all you ladies out there should realise something, an aquarius man is the most loyel man you could ever meet. eddie is an aquarius, so am i, lol.

we are suposed to be good with libras, sagittarius and of course aquarius women. good luck ladies.

[alcross11]

So true! David Lee Roth is a ibra, by the way!

[tonebone5150]

Ed had a major drug problem also.Sammy Hagar wrote in his unpublished book that Valerie would often ask him to stop Ed from going on drug runs.

[softballhuny95]

Hey Koing32, give her a break. Do you really think she is gonna be as pretty as she was 22 years ago? I mean gimme a break. Heck, give HER a break. And by the way, Eddie was an ALCOHOLIC. Not DRUG addict. She loved him. Very Nice Video Too.

[hariseldon59]

Valerie was mentioned in Dave's Top Ten list last night. The category was Top Ten Surprises in Ronald Reagan's Personal Diary. #7 Contemplated resigning presidency to run off to Mexico with Valerie Bertinelli.

[iluvQR]

haha this is funny as hell i don't know why though..

[koing32]

now she is one of americas fattest celebrities and divorced from a drug addicted quitar player

[BillSchwenke]

They also did a joint bit part on an SNL skit. I missed this but did see EVH sit in with the band before, I think... Boy was that AGES ago!! Dave took a beating because he did appear mean to guests, and of course, Oprah refused to do his show for many years

[msa1985]

Sexy voice

[hvista]

Refreshing to see these 2 back in their 'innocent' days. Looks like it was taped right between Dave and Sammy. Wish we could have heard more of Eddie jammin' with the band.

[commment]

Cool how she speaks her mind ! (f*ck showbizz )

[v9j68]

killer licks by Eddie while going to the commercials.. too bad they didn't let us see the band more

[koing32]

shes very full of hersel

f

[artimusbill]

Nice clip. She doesn't seem "stuck up" at all, just not jaded or star struck with Letterman.

[hariseldon59]

I can't believe all the negative comments this video has generated. When I posted this I thought Valerie's fans would be thrilled to see video from her younger, cuter years, especially since she has very little presence on Youtube. I expected some negative comments about Shaffer (for having dated an underage girl) but not about Valerie or Dave. Lighten up, people.  This is supposed to be fun!

[justbev]

I was a huge Valerie Bertinelli fan, I enjoyed this clip very much, thank-you for posting it!

Yes Valerie has gained some weight but she is in her 40's now, it's not quite as easy to lose weight as you get older but she's trying! While I was watching this a new ad came on tv showing that she already lost 10 lbs. She was still beautiful when she had gained 30 lbs.

[hunyghan]

I thought everything/everyone was fine..relax!

[koing32]

Letterman is a prick was then and still is today

[Jako32]

luv valerie. I think shes always been gorgeous and adorable in every way but this is a HORRIBLE interview from start to finish LOL

[hariseldon59]

I don't think Valerie is "stuck-up" at all. She's simply not afraid to speak her mind. Her reaction to the Penthouse article may have seemed cold, even hostile, but given that Valerie has steadfastly refused to do nude scenes throughout her career (which may have cost her more than a few theatrical roles), it's hardly surprising that she's not thrilled to be one of Bob Guccione's 10 sexiest women. I'd gladly take Valerie over some empty headed bimbo any day.

[CassidyJasmine]

Not afraid to speak her mind? She may not be thrilled to be one of Bob Guccione's 10 sexiest women, but that does not mean that she doesn't flaunt her sexuality enough. There are some women that haven't done nude scenes but are still doing some things outside of their entertainment career that will label them as a sex object. Valerie is an example of that.

[smister05]

Guys, you are taking this video snippet too seriously. Look, it's a Late Night show interview. Of course it's gonna be tacky and pretentious or whatever. Personally, I just dig seeing Valerie and Eddie together and I would like to thank hariseldon59 for digging through the archives and posting this baby on the Tube. Thank You.

[patriots60]

Great point, smister05...Thx.

[Juggalo5588]

yup, stuck up as hell. her and eddie.

[CassidyJasmine]

Eddie is sooooooooooooo hot. I hate that Bertinelli chick.

[xbarbiieox]

It sounds like the green eyed monster krept in yer house

[maxasianmuscle]

Funny how Valerie and Eddie looked so alike...

[fosterch]

nah, she was great

[diverdownup5150noho]

haha shes a cunt like eddie

[MJMcQueen]

Yeah she seemed very stuck up..she needed to get off her high horse. Eddies was soo cute back then though lol

[mistyrow]

I recant my first statement,

DAVE was the BIG PRICK, gee whiz,could he have been anymore of a JACKASS!!!

[mistyrow]

Boy, she was riding high then,seriously stuck up!!!
