@@shakiepete7782 It certainly seems as tho she has a "soft spot" for alot of "assholes!" Honestly, take a look back at all of her past relationships and marriages. Never really thought about it until now but..... "wow!"
This is how a relationship/friendship/feelings for one another develops progressively. The end result at that age is so beautiful. Two intelectual minds who clashed in the beginning but their candid expressions to each other complemented each other’s responses and acceptance.
It's really cute to see her soften up to him over time because she can tell he actually just has a crush on her and doesn't know how to act around her. Cher is such an icon and so real. There will never be another like her.
Jess, I admit that Cher is very attractive and truth is I still have a crush in her. But listening to her boast about the number of guys she’s has sex with really is very unattractive. I get woman’s liberation, but if women truly want to be treated with respect, perhaps they should act in a way that commands respect. Woman have given up their power When they freely spread their legs for anyone. I believe woman has the most power when they made a guy work for their affection.....ie, hold out until a guy PROVED he was worthy of a woman’s affection and they used to mean committing to marriage. It seems now that woman spread their legs on a whim.
@@Mikesorrento3344 Sex is just too important to your mind, lighten up! Men boast and most people want to hear it. US senators brag in Congress! Get over your male superiority!
THIS is WHY so many of us miss Letterman. Almost all talk shows now are hosted by manufactured personalities interviewing other manufactured personalites oozing smarm & adulation w/o a hint of real personality or genuineness. Letterman's reactions were truly in the moment & real & ad-libbed, and he knew instinctively how to push the right buttons to get the same out of his guests. I SO miss that on television now.
When Paris Hilton was a guest her people said Paris's arrest was off topic so don't ask about it. Dave's first question was about her getting busted. Now Late Night talk shows suck. Conan is Ok but don't watch because I refuse to pay for cable.
I used to really love her until i saw her flashing the satanic devil horn symbols. It turned me off big time. She's a great singer and actress but i lost respect for her....
She looked incredible with the big curly red hair. She's truly one of the most unique beauties of all time. Her personality is so great, too. I'll always love Cher 🖤
@Ulysses432 I never visited a Cher Show, but I would be quite interested how well she would have done with a similar show format as Lettermans... maybe she could have been a Chelsea Handler before Chelsea Handler
I wouldn't be so arrogant to say that you're wrong, but I am going to say that I agree only with your first assumption, everything up until that coma. After that I share no opinion of yours. On the contrary I find her quite repugnant and not apealyng in the least. Her constant need to be the lid to every pot, cap to every pan and cork to every bottle makes her obnoxious and unbearable. Even more so when I see some people are quite fond of her. But I find satisfaction in the fact that there are a great deal of people that find her distasteful and abhorrent. I hope I never get her video as recommended in my life, I wouldn't want to write yet another honest but detestable opinion of mine. TH-cam, mark my words, just this time if ever.
@@mudza92 lol... dude... that was a lot. And Cher is a fucking icon. You couldn't muster half of her charm or talent if you tried, so maybe keep your superfluous, pretentious and needlessly verbose criticism to yourself next time. You're not impressing anybody.
Cher is indeed very witty but she has to be comfortable around the person to really shine. She’s always struggled with shyness and stagefright so having a talk show may have been too stressful unless she had a cohost who could ease her nerves. Or unless everything was scripted, but her best humor is what comes off the top of her head in my opinion.
01:25 you can tell Dave was waiting for her to say it, and he was so pleased when she did. Perfect, spontaneous comedy that he crafted right in the moment. I'm sure he knew her opinion of him, and that she was going to be outspoken.about it. Dave is the king.
Actually, he did set her up because Cher said it to one of his producers during the pre-interview before the show. During the show, Cher figured out that he had been told that she said it to the producer, but she didn't expect him to keep trying to get her to actually say it. But he did and she said it, and the rest is history because it became one of the best and funniest talk show moments of all time.
Such a classy lady with a great sense of humor. These are actually the first interviews for me I see of her, never knew what she was like. I really like her. Letterman as well.
@@rachel3165 He wants his dick straight between them. He wants to get naked with her. He wants to make sweet beautiful love to her. Crazy animalistic sex.
So... I went to her concert last night, even though I am not, what you would call, a Cher fan. But I thought. "This woman ist 73 and a legend and probably makes a really good show. She seems to have a heart of gold to support her child the way she does. You liked her music, when you were a Teenager (I'm 27 btw), you like Burlesque, you like ABBA, sooo.. why not..." So I bought a ticket for her Show months ago and went alone, because I didn't want to miss on this one, just because nobody wants to accompany me. The Show was amazing btw, but I was so amazed how funny this woman is. She told us about the time she called David an asshole, so I had to look it up. And now I'm stuck watching videos of her while beeing actually really glad I went to this god damn concert my only regret beeing, that I didn't invest more money in a better seating, because the people around me were lame AF and I wanted to party!
Im 13, I loved Abba and the first Mamma Mia film, and when the second movie came out, I went to see it. I fell in love with her soo much, 'cause she and her music helped me through a lot of crap. I'm so thankful that she is the person she is, and I would love to meet her one day and say: Thank you. 🌹❤️ Forever Cher❤️
When Cher answers about Gene Simmons and says "Yes", she has this Catwomen smirk and she get's this dark look on her smile that even looks like it was fun.
She is so quick, and sharp as a tack, and funny as hell, not to mention her beauty, which is clearly from within, I had seen her first appearance before , but her latter appearances, really solidified my comments and feelings. Keep doing what you do Cher, you being you! 😉
There was something going on in the air between those two since the first time she had been in his show. Cher is so iconic! She has got an energy, you can feel her strength just looking at her. Like someone said down below, there will never be someone like her again.
His taste in women is a bit strange. Whatever "glamour" is... his women have to be the complete opposite of that. Think the girl next door's divorced aunt.
how can Cher, who is such a super star be so real? it's like she is a regular person, who wants a Letterman souvenir, like anyone would. yet she is not flustered, or conceded, or even very nervous. a true star.
Cher told us this story at the “Here we go again concert”. I’m glad I’m able to see the video to what she was talking about😊😊😊Cher is a talented and gorgeous women😍😍😍
Cher has all the outward superficialities like, plastic surgery, and dressing provocatively at an older age. However, she also has inner depth, like sincerity and candidness. That is a unique combination.
I find comments like these hilarious. Like men's brains just pause when they realize women can be beautiful and intelligent all in one. I think men need to spend more quality time listening to women... This wouldn't be such a shocker.
@ Or she isn't trying to look 30 years younger but has been dressing up and wearing makeup for decades now and loves it and does what she wants. Lol who are these "deep" people you're you all claim to know? I'm sure they aren't.
My my is she charming. I'm 26 and I've known many girls, not many women. She's all woman, she is class, she is smart, she is beautiful inside and out, she is a terrific human.
I have serious doubts about that. Yes, he's being cheeky about "how it's nice" but that's a far cry from what you're describing. I really, sincerely, would bet my life on it even, doubt he had a rock hard boner pressed into her and that she was giggling about it. This is a look into how a creepy person's brain thinks.. This guys fantasy and made up inner narrative tells him that a woman would LOVE this and think it was SOOO cute and funny. When even if it was the most charming, handsome man- no woman is going to think it's adorable that you're rubbing your boner on her in a non intimate moment. Straight up weirdos.
They say the last ten years Letterman was on Tv, he was "phoning it in" as a talk show host. I"ll take that any day over the current talk shows which was 100% better than now
It's always been obvious that Dave really didn't care for most of his guests but he loved a few of them Cher was one, Norm Macdonald, Regis he had a love for just a few people
After that first encounter, they really formed a bond. I hope they remain friends. I'm going to say this, I wonder if they ever had been intimate? The cheating scandal with Letterman prompted me to ask this.....
He's clearly smitten by her and u can see her growing a soft spot for him as time progresses lol honestly so cute

I remember seeing Cher on TV in the 70’s, She looked like an Alien Princess to me as a kid. She was hauntingly beautiful.
Same(ish). I still remember - I was 10, saw her on Sonny & Cher, they played her “Halfbreed” video. Smitten instantly.
I always loved seeing these two together good chemistry
Watch him with Julia Roberts
Such a classy lady with a great sense of humor. These are actually the first interviews for me I see of her, never knew what she was like. I really like her. Letterman as well.
The lovers that never were … great clip
First appearance: I thought you were an asshole.
Final appearance: I love you.

not in recent years
One of the few guests that could sling the dirt back at Dave and make him feel like he was on the edge of his seat. She was an awesome guest.
