Sapendo che l'obiettivo di Letterman era prendersi gioco di lui (ovviamente non per spregio, ma per audience) Benigni ha saputo esasperare se stesso al punto tale da prendere totalmente il controllo del programma, facendo letteralmente scomparire Letterman dalla scena 😅

[@diegosauda9596]

non sono d'accordo nei modi, poteva fare benigni per i primi 2 minuti per rompere un po il ghiaccio e far capire a Dave che se voleva avrebbe potuto continuare, ma poi avrebbe dovuto parlare dei suoi interesi di chi e' lui veramente, non ha niente in meno di Dave, anzi, pero' ricordati che sei ospite, e che le buone maniere le conosci, mettere i piedi dove si sono sedute tutte le star degli ultimi 30 anni, secondo me e' una mancanza di rispetto e non fa ridere.

He is not a normal man he is more like a comedy genius. In fact he is trolling so hard in the show and in all the other interviews. He can quote you Mark Twain and Dante Alighieri in the same sentence, but he acts like he is dumb. In every american appearance he rides those italian stereotypes and exaggerates them. He shouts, he touches people and he speaks with this heavy accent that make him look dumb. The sad thing is that many times people don't undertand it and make fun of him while he is secretly making fun of them.

​@@mehran7449 I cannot say anything clear about him because I don't know him personally, however, I suppose that his image declined when he took around 500.000 euros just to appear few minutes on public TV which is called RAI. That TV is paid with public Italian tax and basically he has been paid that fortune with Italian people's money that struggle to pay national debt or pay people's home after the several earthquakes we had. To be socialist, left wing and take those money is not really a good example. For the rest...of course he's a big actor and his movies are great. Moreover, I don't know if he privately does some charity to poor people, so I cannot say anything totally sure

To be fair to Letterman he is supposed to be a "foil" a "straight man" for the sake of the joke. The joke results from the awkward tension created in Letterman's style. He's interviewed Benigni several times and they make for some great TV moments, that tension has a purpose. He's also supposed to be a little rude or insulting as that is part of the American stand up style from which Dave comes.
