...this was an exceptionally moving piece and one that amazed me for the pure unscripted passion...Dave, as you say-was never one to wear his emotions on his sleeve, at least not very damn often-but when he did, the dentally challenged smart ass façade slipped and you saw some the real David there....
The last time Steve was on by himself to promote a book several years ago, he was rude to Steve but I honestly don't remember the specifics of what it was about and was more the "tone" that Letterman was taking than anything that was exchanged between them. I don't even remember that Steve said anything that should have provoked him. Unfortunately I don't have any links to that particular show to explain it better.
...sounds more like Dave was somewhat threatened by Steve's intelligence and strength of character...as an interviewer I can be intimidated by my guest if they are "brighter" than I, but I have learned over time to not let it bother me...in a lot of cases I think Letterman doesn't like being "one upped"....
Maybe Steve should have jumped up on the desk and flashed his boobies at Dave ala Drew Barrymore?

Maybe he's dying.
Watch the papers.No, it was a solo appearance quite a few years before this one--possibly in the late '90s.
I didn't get that impression. There was more of an edge to it than just trying to be funny or maybe it just wasn't working that night. Either way, he came across as being an azzhat.
This one? No good ever comes from getting Red Sox and Yankees fans together.
I think it was the '96 one but in retrospect doesn't seem nearly as rude as I thought it was at the time.This one? No good ever comes from getting Red Sox and Yankees fans together.
This one was pretty lame.
Seems pretty innocuous,though I noticed that in this interview,and the one with JCM,that Letterman cut off Steve in the midst of story,at the end of the interviews..though they seemed to be having a good time and busting each other back and forth which is what we dumb guys like to do..I think it was the '96 one but in retrospect doesn't seem nearly as rude as I thought it was at the time.
perhaps it was because SK was going on for a while? No,no chance of that,we know he likes to keep things brief! Anyhow,hope Steve keeps on keeping on,until he gets bored or the well runs dry,I need new books every year!
Maybe that explains why he was rude to Steve.
