    All I can say this is the legendary interview, the interview that cannot be happened today. They both maintained their own wildness of 80's - 90's, and decided to crash as hard as they can. Witt, humor, bravery, assertiveness and intelligence exploded all together in this interview. While some celebrities got publicly humiliated by David, not having a chance to fight back, but Madonna, she was never one of them.

      I don’t think so, because a lot of celebrities, and whoever else these talk show, hosts have had on their show have sometimes acted a little outrageous to the point where even the hosts looked like they were getting secondhand embarrassment for them. I don’t know if you remember this but years and years ago do you remember when Drew Barrymore got up and jumped on David Letterman‘s desk and pulled up her shirt and flashed him? I doubt that was scripted. That’s when she was going through some tough times. And, now that she has her own show, she had David letterman on it recently and discussed that situation and that moment.

    I remember watching this Live, and had been Lucky enough to have taped it so I then was able to rewatch it again and again- Dave is a Legend, but one of the things Dave could do so well is when a guest goes off kilter, the interview starts to go wrong, you see Dave's face and attitude just go "screw it", he starts jabbing back, and somehow he and the guest end up having a great time- Madonna was one, the Andy Kaufman/Jerry Lawler bits, when Joaquin Phoenix went method actor, and all the Charles Grodin appearances (that was an act, but I never knew for years- Grodin and Dave played off each other so well) - I remember when there was an older Lady who had an "act" with monkeys- they went crazy, and one was a Baboon and Lunged at Dave- Dave was genuinely afraid but still popped Lines and made comedy out of it

    Easily the best interview of all time. I heard humours that at the time the latterman show was struggling for ratings and David latterman asked Madonna to be outrageous and wild prior to the show started. Madonna was dating Tupac at the time and she admitted on the latterman show In 2009 that she had a joint prior to the show. Madonna even asked Dave “have you Ever smoked Endo? So basically she was high lol!! No other music star could cause such controversy then Madonna. No way she could get away with it now In 2022 as people would be too offended. Especially in the day of social media. It would ruin her career. This show is still the highest rating episode in lattermans career and Madonna’s single I’ll remember after the show aired peaked at No.2 on the billboard charts for 4 weeks. So it worked out well for both I say

      And no, this isn't the highest rated episode ever of The Late Show. His highest rated episode was after the 1994 Winter Olympcs a few weeks earlier than this episode. Actually, when this episode aired The Late Show was absolutely crushing The Tonight Show in the ratings.
