Maya Rudolph: David Letterman ‘embarrassed and humiliated’ me on his show

Maya Rudolph “did not have a good time” when she appeared on “The Late Show with David Letterman” in 2009.

“He said my name wrong, and I just sat there, like, I grew up my whole life in love with you. And now my heart is broken. And I’m sitting here embarrassed and humiliated,” the “Bridesmaid” star, 50, told WSJ. magazine in an interview published Friday.

“I didn’t know how to handle it,” she continued. “I didn’t know how to come up with something funny to say. My public persona muscle wasn’t strong yet.”

I am not a Cher fan, but I remember that for a long time she refused to go on Letterman’s show and he would frequently talk and joke about it on the air. Finally she appeared and he asked her why she had refused before. “Because I thought you were an @$$hole,” she replied.

She was right the first time. I didn’t find him funny, although he did steal my jokes a few times.

She’s so fragile that she’s “shook” by someone mispronouncing her name and mentions it years later?
Boo hoo.

Having said that, Letterman was a real jerk.

So I’m reading this wondering who this whiny chick is, and then I see she’s a Saturday Night Live alumni, and that explains everything.

Why I don’t know her because Saturday Night Live has sucked for 40 years and I quit watching it long long ago.

Why I don’t care because, well because she’s another celebrityard complaining about another celebritytard being not nice to her.

Galileo was wrong. He thought the Earth revolved around the sun. No, the Earth revolves around celebutards.

“Despite her decades in the limelight, Rudolph still doesn’t consider herself a celebrity.”

I don’t consider her a celebrity, either. Never heard of her.

And so 13 years ago, snarky fool Letterman made her feel bad. So what? It does demolish her claim not to consider herself a celebrity, though, if she’s upset that Letterman didn’t know enough about her to pronounce her name the way she demands.

I guess he never heard of her, either.

“He said my name wrong

I think Letterman is a smug, annoying POS, but if all he did was say her name wrong, she's being more than a little snowflaky.

A pimp’s love is very different from that of a square.

That movie should be required material for all freepers. It’s very educational on our future if we keep letting the left run things.
