David Letterman Reflects on His “Oprah-Uma” Oscars 25 Years Later: An “Explosion of Excrement”
David Letterman opens up for the first time in a deep-dive forensic comedy analysis of how and why his 1995 Oscars hosting gig bombed: "My personality was attacking itself."

It has been a quarter-century since David Letterman hosted the 67th Academy Awards, but nobody who tuned in to the telecast has forgotten that night — least of all Letterman himself, then the 47-year-old host of CBS’ New York-based Late Show. The New York Times review the next day was headlined, “The Winner Isn’t David Letterman.” Time in 2011 named him the worst awards show host ever. And The Atlantic in 2015 described it as “the gold standard of Oscar bombing.”

Things got off on the wrong foot almost immediately when Letterman kicked off the show by saying, “I’ve been dying to do something all day and I think maybe we can take care of it,” and then proceeded to “introduce” several Hollywood A-listers with unusual first names: “Oprah? Uma. Uma? Oprah.” He paused briefly before adding, “I feel much better. Have you kids met Keanu?” (Oprah Winfrey and Keanu Reeves were Oscar presenters that year; Uma Thurman, a nominee for Pulp Fiction.) ....

You know who probably felt the closest to the way you felt? James Franco and Anne Hathaway….

Yeah, but they were fine. Me? “What has he been in? A sauna?!” And by the way, Scott, let me just take this time, once again, to thank you and the entire show business community for helping me travel 25 years down memory lane. It’s been nothing but fun. ....

4. Other than last night's cringe-a-thon, Dave's turn at the Oscars...

...is the only one I really remember. I don't watch late night shows at all since he left. The best. The GOAT.

Jimmy Kimmel Nails Will Smith for Laughing at Chris Rock’s Joke Before Smacking Him

.... "Nobody could have predicted that the most controversial movie of 2022 would be G.I. Jane, but it was,” he added. Kimmel went on to praise Rock for not even flinching after Smith hit him, joking, “I would have been crying so hard.”

After breaking down the already ugly history between the two men, Kimmel said, “Obviously Chris Rock did not deserve to be slapped in the face for a joke.” And while Smith claimed he was just defending his wife’s honor, the host described the situation as “damned if you do, Ted Cruz if you don’t.”

Finally, Kimmel called out Smith for getting “very jiggy with it” at the Vanity Fair Oscar party after the show—before ultimately issuing a “heartfelt apology” to Rock the next day.

“To me, there’s only one more step to make this right,” he concluded. “And that’s the Comedy Central Roast of Will Smith hosted by Chris Rock.”

8. How dare COLBERT have Chris WALLACE when ROCK-SMITH is going on?!1 - (insert Sarcasm here)

WALLACE "love(s) streaming" on his new gig, no commercials.

His question to Will SMITH: "When you woke up at 3 o'clock in the morning, and I know you did, what did you think?" - uh, millions of $ for that?!1

9. What it's like to interview PUTIN

"How does this (PUTEEN/SMITH) end?"
