    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.

    This was the appearance that got him banded from the show for six years.

    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!!

    never ceases to amaze me how people will flip out over completely innocent youtube comments. case in point, your response to KikoSavesTheDay.
