Talk shows can regularly lead to some out of control moments. Although we’re not lucky enough to see Tracy Jordan become a stabbing robot, we still see some ridiculous interviews from time to time. I guess when you mic up the enormous personalities behind big celebrities, you can’t really complain when they go off-book and set fire to something. But which one was the craziest talk show interview ever?
One of the most memorable moments is when Tom Cruise got all OMG YOLO and jumped on Oprah’s couch over his relationship with Katie Holmes. Comedian Bobcat Goldthwait flipped out a little differently when he lit Jay Leno’s couch on fire, for which he was banned from the show, NBC in general, and had to film PSAs for a burn center. Um, lesson learned? Andy Dick got kicked off Jimmy Kimmel Live because he wouldn’t stop touching Ivanka Trump, which definitely stopped Dick from being a little weird…another lesson learned. Heidi Klum showed off her underwear with Jay Leno, while Drew Barrymore flashed David Letterman for his birthday. Bob Barker and Crispin Glover both showed off their martial arts skills in late night interviews to varying levels of acceptance.
What was your favorite late night show? And what do you think is the craziest talk show interview of all time? Let us know any we missed in the comments.
