    Its amazing seeing the contrast between an actual real person and a phony buyout piece of shit like letterman.

    Wow, the film really overplayed this confrontation. Letterman even had him back on the show after this. They fought ever time. That was the point. Dave played the rich asshole and harvey played the poor asshole, roles that came easily to both. Showbiz.

    Hey Harvey was in better shape than paul giamatti. I guess he really was a vegetarian. Or was it that people in the 80's were slimmer than the present day fat fucks rolling around. Ur Fat!!

    Notice how honest people never come across well on television.

    I guess you find celebrity whores "sympathetic". Have you ever met an actual blue collar person from a midwestern city like Harvey? He isn't some side-show freak you stupid little twat.
