OT: Awkward Moments in Late Night TV: #42323

DeToxRox · 09-27-2005, 12:48 AM

Steve O tonight on Adam Carrolla.

He was so bombed he was tackling Carrolla and breaking stuff on the set. The audience was dead quiet. I swear Carrolla did a good job not getting pissed and working with it but wow.

Talk about awkward.

Anyone else see this?

If not I suspect video up online soon.

Neuqua · 09-27-2005, 12:50 AM

I just saw a couple goats leave turds on Jimmy Kimmel's show.

The best awkward late night moment was Crispin Glover on acid on Letterman.

Wolfpack · 09-27-2005, 09:30 AM

Another good one was Hillary Duff saying she "was obsessed with Hummers" on Leno, which Leno graciously clarified for the audience to mean the vehicles.

Best Letterman interview EVER was the one with Richard Harris, where he brought up his past drinking issues, in what appeared to be an honest attempt to let Harris discuss conquering his problem. Apparently Harris had told Letterman's staff that his past alcohol issues were off-limits, so he got really pissed and spent the rest of the interview hardly answering any of Letterman's questions. I think Letterman was taken completely by surprise and tried to apologize, but Harris refused to cut him any slack. Finally, after Letterman had tried just about everything he could to get Harris to be responsive, they sat there in complete silence for an awkward few seconds, then Letterman said: "So, how about that drinking problem?"

That was the gist of it anyway. I haven't seen that clip in well over a decade.

VPI97 · 09-27-2005, 09:46 AM

Letterman + Andy Kaufman + Jerry Lawler = best TV segment ever.

DeToxRox · 09-27-2005, 10:55 AM

The Lawler/Kauffman one was amazing, but I agree with Tommy. Crispen Glover on acid was amazing.

NoMyths · 09-27-2005, 11:02 AM

First location turned out to be NSFW...this one's at IFilm.

MJ4H · 09-27-2005, 11:46 AM

MJ4H · 09-27-2005, 11:47 AM

MikeVic · 09-27-2005, 04:55 PM

I tried the Glover clip on iFilm, and the video is all multi-coloured... I can't see anything. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Wow. I know I'm the one that brought it up, but I hadn't actually watched it in a while. That is insane.

Jesus. Crispin Glover was actually trying his damnedest to be a good guest and just couldn't do it, Steveo is completely oblivious.

Can anyone help with this, I have the same situation happening.

DeToxRox · 09-28-2005, 06:41 AM

Apparently at 5 am yesterday Steve O e-mailed Carrolla and told him he didn't even remembering being on the show.

Musta' been wild backstage.

JeeberD · 09-28-2005, 08:28 AM

Good lord. It's one thing to be drunk and obnoxious, but being drunk and destructive is a completely different animal...

MJ4H · 09-28-2005, 08:47 AM

that was awesome. hahaha

dawgfan · 09-28-2005, 12:36 PM

A couple things:

- My understanding was that Corrolla and his staff planned to have Steve O get drunk as part of the segment; whoops, that one backfired. I doubt they planned to get him that drunk...

- Crispin Glover is weird enough that I'm not entirely sure that Letterman appearence wasn't an Andy Kaufman thing where he was simply acting the whole time. He certainly had the earmarkings of someone tripping, but then again he's an actor, and if he had experience tripping it wouldn't be a stretch to think he could fake it as well

rkmsuf · 09-28-2005, 12:38 PM

I still think it a shame that they foiled Jimmy Kimmel's idea of having the audience drink during the show.

From the iFilm board just below the clip, fwiw...

Anyway,Crispin Glover is the man.

timmynausea · 09-28-2005, 02:00 PM

I've read that part of being in that character was being on acid, and he had told his agent ahead of time that he would be on acid on the show. They tried to talk him out of it. Dave knew ahead of time, that's why he doesn't even bother trying to salvage the interview once it starts falling apart.
So yeah, he was acting, sort of.

Yeah, I saw this. I try to give new shows a fair chance. I've watch Too Late with Adam Carrolla a few times. It's a terrible show. If you saw the whole show, you'd see that that audience was quite dead the entire time, not just during that segment. And that's the way it has been for every show. Whenever it is just Adam speaking, trying to be funny, the audience is dead.

Sometimes they'll laugh at something the guest says...

This show will not last long, Steve-O incident or not.

I like Adam on Loveline, and I liked the Man Show, but him solo - I'm not impressed. The promo segments for his show weren't in the least bit funny, so I never bothered watching any of them. Looks like I haven't been missing much.

chinaski · 09-28-2005, 04:09 PM

i love that Crispin clip, i remember watching that the first time it came on back in 86(?), so surreal. I thought there was a little more to it tho, that was his butterfly collection he brought with him and i swear he explains more about that to Letterman. I remember it gets even weirder, they go to commercial and when the come back, Cripsin is gone and they dont mention anything.

Crispin, Kauffman/Lawler and Harvey Pekar made me a Letterman fan for a good ten years. Todays stuff is pretty lame.

chinaski · 09-28-2005, 04:10 PM

dola,

People should go rent Rivers Edge if they havent seen it before, its a classic.

Critch · 09-28-2005, 08:25 PM

The reason the audience is dead during the Adam Carolla show is that there isn't an audience anymore, they did away with them after the first few weeks. Supposed to make the show more intimate, just makes it weird that the only laughter is from the crew.

I quite like it, but it won't last long.
