If you missed any of this over the weekend, what’s it like to be in a coma? While you think of an answer, here’s what went down: Letterman had Paris Hilton on his show Friday night and basically tore into her with questions about being in jail until Paris broke out the waterworks. People reports:
After facing a continued barrage of jail-related questions, Hilton, who was on the show to promote her new fragrance Can-Can and her upcoming movie, Repo! The Genetic Opera, said, “I don’t really want to talk about it anymore.” But Letterman would not be swayed. “This is where you and I are different. Because this is all I want to talk about,” he said.
As Letterman continued to press, Hilton held up her hand: “I’m going on the next question. I’m over it.”
At one point a crowd member yelled, “I love you Paris!” which she answered by saying, “I love you too,” and blowing a kiss. Quipped Letterman, “Somebody you met in prison?” Hilton, blushing, shook her head no.
“There’s other stuff to talk about Dave,” Hilton said. “I didn’t come here to talk about this. That was a long time ago.”
Finally, after more than six minutes of grilling, Hilton said Letterman was making her “sad that I came here.”
I don’t think Paris Hilton understands that going to jail is about the only conversation-worthy thing she’s done in, well, ever. Millionaire heiress had to serve jail-time despite her wealth and undeserved celebrity status. That’s seriously the feel-good event of the year. If John Wayne were alive, he’d actually shed a tear knowing Paris did time. Then he’d say we should “go and hunt some Injuns” and we’d all kind of look around real awkward-like. We could tell him that kind of talk is frowned upon these days. Or we could, I dunno, not get shot. That works too. Especially for me. I try and keep my stomach bullet-free. It’s sort of a quirky little thing I do.
David Letterman was not being an asshole. He might not be the best guy on the planet, but god, he was practically kind to her. The scariest thing he did was call jail the ‘slammer’ and poke fun at some lame freak in the audience shouting ‘ I love you’. Arghh that’s scary….not….. Paris deserves someone to show her that perhaps she isn’t the best thing to ever walk the earth. You can see that is what she thinks, every time she opens her mouth she says things like ‘I am really kind and pretty and sweet and I wish people could see it.’ She is famous for a sex tape; she does not need to work to inherit her millions; why doesn’t she just go on a permanent holiday and leave the rest of the world to reality?
She is vacuous and pathetic and an embodiment of everything wrong and perverse about Western society.
I know his moustache is ugly and he’s been kinda harsh toward the Jews, but I thought Hitler showed some real class while Dave was being so mean to him during the interview.
I think it’s funny when people call it “jail”. She didn’t go to “jail”. She was alloted private room and board for a short period of time, didn’t have to interact with the other inmates, took a break in the middle of it because it made her sad..I mean what she went through was basically like a toddler being put in a corner, then wetting her pants to earn herself a few minutes being changed before going back to finish time out.
lol! Letterman did a great job making Paris feel uncomfortable.
@101
Amen.
She just needs to fuck off.
I wouldn’t call that crying. She swung her leg and made a pouty-face. I wanted tears and snot running down her face and sobs of anguish for being such a shallow, no-talent waste of life. I really think she’s retarded. I really do. She’s like the retarded girl who has sex with the football team because she thinks one of them will be her boyfriend. She couldn’t name ONE THING she read in the Bible, the book which she said completely changed her life when she was in jail. What changed her life about it? The cover? The pretty pictures? Then she goes to pretend jail and she can’t take it! She was only there a couple of days and she melted like the sorry little spoiled cum dumpster she is.
Paris is a life support system for a vagina.
What does Fish have against John Wayne Gacy? I just love his clown paintings!
@ 67, i disagree. leno is most unfunny piece of shit in america…next to chevy chase. i wish conan could just host them all. VIVA LA CONAN!
@95: Oh c’mon, they were just being friendly and having fun. You sound like a butt-plugging groid-lover.
Dave is a pump-head . . .
I thought I loved Dave. Now I’m pretty sure I’d clip his toenails and shave his back if he asked me to. GO DAVE! FUCK that Herp Queen!
i wish i had seen this sooner.
awesome.
@26: when did anyone ever take her seriously? just asking, cuz that’s news to me :p
I saw this when it aired and I was enjoying every minute of it! At first, when I realized that Paris Hilton was a guest, I was about ready to change the channel, but then Dave kept grilling her and I put down the remote and sat back with a huge grin on my face! Go Dave! It’s about time someone put that spoiled brat in her place! He turned all the lemonade for her back into lemons! Like when the audience member said he loved her, and Dave…..Hahah
I like when he asked, “So what are you doing to keep your energy up? How are you getting your nutrients.” And she answered, “I do sit-ups.”
I didn’t know sit-ups are comparable to eating…
Letterman was very rude.
Especially in light of his own traffic offenses a few years ago, when he was cited for drinking and driving.
Not quite sure if he was sober during this pretaped show. No sober person drinks down a perfume bottle.
Paris handled herself with great dignity, although Letterman was obviously annoying her.
Paul Shaeffer even said to Dave later “She handled you very well”.
Of course, you left that part out of the video.
You guys all have a boner when watching Paris Hilton, otherwise you wouldn’t be here, you naughty perverts.
I don’t know how many times Paris should be nailed and embarrassed.. People are so mean and self-righteous… How can she change if we don’t give her room for change????
Paris Hilton never gets a fair chance to change… Dave’s mean… blah blah blah. Whatever! She drove without her liscence twice and got caught and went to jail. People are always going to be talking about that so Paris, needs SUCK it up! Spoiled little bitch is so used to having people walk on tip toes around her; kissing her ass.
Yes Paris represents today’s preoccupation with shallow so-called fame but Dave was being a jerk dragging on the grilling that long. For once I felt bad for her.
PS: He should’ve spanked her ass two times instead!
I can’t believe all you defending this bitch!! There’s no fucking way you can possibly mean these things.
poor paris hilton. dave was so fuking mean to do so! we from MALAYSIA support ya! mwah!!!
god I love letterman. I would totally marry him if I wasn’t already married and didn’t think being married is retarded. I am wearing pants!
Letterman is an asswipe for pulling this off on Paris Hilton. No way to talk to your guests, especially on public television. Paris should never come on this idiot’s show again.
Letterman is dumb fucking pumphead and so is poster #121 but being a pumphead works for Letterman. Poster #121 has been left in a state of inordinate naive credulity. What a stupid fucking pumphead!
PUMPHEAD! STUPID FUCKING PUMPHEAD!!!
I cannot believe the comments im hearing defending paris hilton. All of you retards are just 1 friends episode away from turning into giant walking vaginas.
I bet most of you live in California.
she didnt cry! i didnt even see her eyes water up! (otherwise she probably woulda wiped her eyes at least once)
that was gay
WELL< once again, Paris Hilton shines through!!! Letterman disrespectfully baraged her with questions about jail, no tears did I see, yet she smiled and laughed throughout the whole interview, with one little pout trying desperately to get him to get off the subject of jail. This proves that Hollywood is slimy and immature as middle schoolers picking on a classmate. SORRY, I thin Paris has class, and she made a little mistake and of course the judge who rendered her jailbound is as bad as Hollywood and immature as the middle schoolers as well. We expect more from adults towards mankind. I rebuke myself for expecting anything more of adults in today’s world, much less Hollywood.!!! You GO girl, PARIS HILTON has class!
You “hear” comments?! PUMPHEAD!!! STUPID FUCKING PUMPHEAD!!!
Isn’t she used to people making fun of her yet?
Stupid American doll getting slapped in boring American talkshow….. Yawn…. Interesting…..
You people are SOFT! That interview was nothing compared to how Dave was on NBC back in the day! David Letterman is brilliant! You have to have a certain kind of intelligence to ‘get’ Dave’s humor. Anyone who doesn’t get his humor is probably into the sick stupid “Little Johnny” kind of humor from those annoying forwarded emails you get from your buddies who have no other life, or you probably own “Crybaby” on VHS. Dave is more alive than ever, hilarious, and making a ton more money than any of you could ever even hope to panhandle for!

Uhh Dave would have been funny if this happened like..two months ago, but at this point it just seems desperate for a cheap laugh. In my opinion, Paris kinda owned him in the face by telling him to pretty much shut the fuck up. Go Paris!
I’ve never liked letterman, his “jokes” weren’t funny at all. Anyway, yes, Paris is known for being frightfully vapid and shallow, but that doesn’t mean she’s exempt from tactful treatment. She tried to politefully deviate from the jail topic, but Letterman just kept on pressing the issue.
By the way, I didn’t see any tears there. Don’t misrepresent and then fault her for something that isn’t in the video.
She deserved every bit that she got, and then some. Anybody who says otherwise is a gutless celebrity suckup.
Paris is a dumb whore who got celebrity status for being born into a wealthy family- she a total idiot . First of all she was alone the whole time she was in jail- she should have been put with the general population while she was in jail, then we’ll see how bad jail could be.
She is a shallow piece of shit who has contributed nothing to society and any time she contributes to any causes is for her own self promotion.
AHAHAHAHHAH – FRIGGEN GENIUS!
Hilarious – fucking she could have just answered the questions. What was so bad about them?? Letttterman rules!!!!!
I think she handled the situation very gracefully, and I do – for once- think Dave was way out of line and inappropriate.
Honestly, David L. was being stupid. I think she handled the situation well, seeing as he’s being an idiot. No one cares about Paris in jail anymore.
mate shez a slut alright? but who ever said that she didnt do shit u wrong mate… do some research and see actually paris did some good things aswell, like helping homeless n stuff like that… so what if shez a slut or blah blah blah, mind ur own business and ur own shit… live her alone, u a fking idiout 2 if u get low. and this dude his a dumb fuck, she suffered enough and now he gives her more shit… for fuck sake mate, ill would of fking liv from the show the minute he started to be rude and make his show an emberresment… who doesnt aggree with me?
