Cher on Letterman 1996

[@jamescarpinelli325]

I have watched these interviews and I think they have chemistry!!

[@dioncampbell2393]

I think you might be onto something there

[@anothercomment-]

100%

[@afellowamericanafellowamer5317]

She's mean to men who care for her...Sonny, Dave, always taking a shot at the poor guy then laughing about it...that's just who she is

[@anothercomment-]

@@afellowamericanafellowamer5317 to be honest I loved the chemistry but yes you may be right - when she called him an a-hole right up front in first interview - that was possibly narcissistic

[@miss0petersburg]

⁠@@afellowamericanafellowamer5317She was mean to men? Sonny? The one who used her before she was even of age? Who controlled her every move? That’s crazy… I hope any girl who’s used gets as “mean” as she can get with her abuser. Without Cher, nobody would have ever known Sonny. And still she was so respectful and never said a MEAN thing about him until she was in her 60s… What you said is absolute nonsense..

[@james5460]

It kind of puts things in perspective when you realize that she was a legend at the time of this show, and she had her greatest success AFTER it.

[@cayetanotirado5907]

She has been a legend since the days of she and her ex-husband Sonny Bono who supported her and tough her the ropes of show business.

[@craig_template]

YUP

[@mybiz2167]

She was destined to be a legend- the stars aligned right for this girl. Everything she really wanted to do she has done so well!

[@cazfarri]

She really has to be one of the most beautiful women of the last century, she's not conventionally pretty, but quite striking.

[@nounours2135]

cazfarri lol

[@jessicacristina9052]

@Kuchi Kopi she doens't have plastic surgery, she just has botox

[@rjp801]

so very wrong - she is a freak and not a nice person...

[@jessicacristina9052]

@@rjp801 why do you think this?

[@AJ-hs2ld]

Are you serious she’s universally attractive, prob a strong 8/10 especially for her age

[@SALTYH2O]

These two are adorable 🧡I love the flirty bantering between them ..

[@SarahQuinnandFranklin]

" do you have a regular boyfriend?" "No I have an irregular boyfiend" XD

[@BeautifulBoy]

Cher is timeless. I really miss watching his show when she came on. You can tell they really liked each other and had fun!

[@ShaleeSue]

Her performance was flawless!!!

[@bigtwit799]

I thought it was good! You can't please everyone.

[@nosferatu8530]

I have rarely seen two people flirting with each other so much as here... lolll

That means ur ugly and not a Star then.

Stop they are not flirting 🙄

4:05 HAHAHA that moment when you realize all the lines you were practising for hours on end the night before has just gone straight down the drain hahaha

[@eddie195777]

David always had the hots for Cher. Can't say I blame him.

[@jeffk1482]

Me neither.

[@bcoverss]

The best! I love the energy between those two!

[@rojardakar1313]

She's one awesome lady!! ...Letterman knows it !!!

More like 25

[@Texasbaubles]

Isn't plastic surgery grand!!!

[@jeffk1482]

@Tessmage_TesseraYep. Yeah, she’s had work, but there’s waaay more to it than that. Fitness and health buff, with the genes to pull it off that well!

[@donovan1412]

First of all hilarious when he said Howard Stern lmao. I absolutely love Cher and David's chemistry. You can't see it but you knew it was a little magical. I just loved it .

[@raulmedina924]

He was disrespecting the drag queen and Cher is clearly not amused

[@bsquared4604]

that was mean. it takes a lot of time and work and get into drag and you could tell that guy was a bit intimidated. I doubt he found it amusing.

[@bsquared4604]

@@raulmedina924 agreed.

[@anothercomment-]

Yes that was hilarious 😂😂😂 and also I fully agree about the two of them

[@gypsysdaddy21]

Thank you Nina! Oh my Cher 💗

[@anothercomment-]

That was SOOO cute the kisses and chemistry at the end ❤

[@belhougoldenwind]

the It's a Mans World is her best era in terms of clothing imo, she had all these gothic and vampiresque outfits that suited her so well

[@ejakadela4884]

Cher is 50 here and looks 20

[@doravernon1511]

If someone at 50 looked 20 they'd have to be simple or retarded.

[@austriehavannah3402]

Lol I love this:)!!!!! Lol she has a cute little scream she does when he pinched her lol!!!!:)

[@cayetanotirado5907]

He pinches her butt, then she dares Dave to do the same to Shaquille O'Neil's butt who was Dave's next guest that night back in November 1996 LOL

Have to admit……… I have a huge crush on Cher

Cher is so naturally beautiful, but her wit and demeanor, is just stunning. Are you kidding me, you really kissed me? Lol. I bet Letterman was in the dog house for a month after this.

Great show. I'm glad they buried the hatchet, maybe a little too deep! But they are great together.

When Cher was young. Now she is 80.

They would have been great together, but Dave would never fit in with her “World”…. too bad.

[@eddie195777]

at the 7:24 mark David smiles like the Joker.

[@CaritaXoXo]

She’s so different here in this appearance than her last with him. She’s fidgety and just different.

[@flynntaylor5459]

That cant be her natural hair... whst happened Why this change??? She looked so good she didnt need anything done. 😢

[@mdweinberg60]

Someone know why the classic Cher appearance with Letterman when she sang “Believe” was taken down from KZbin? Please let’s get it back!!

[@nylorij-Lori]

MDW's channel It’s back up!

[@DEB781]

Gosh! those two...get a room!

[@Seemlypseudonym]

"I can tell you've been under stress." Dave's thought during that long pause: "And I can tell you've been under the knife."

[@cayetanotirado5907]

That's because most men are stupid and don't feel man enough to go under the knife to look handsome or younger like women do !

[@henriquedjosci]

He would never had the guts to say that. Not to her face. He always looks nervous when she's around. lol

[@riordaar]

OMG! This interview. What. Is. Happening?!

[@igor4217]

Is this the only time she sang this actually live? All the other televised performances I've seen of this were lipped.

[@christopherramon-reid2000]

A big part of the interview is cut out...

[@Musettoblu]

Is there the full version somewhere?

[@mariedicristoforo9057]

Why is the sound so low

[@franktheo2055]

It was love from the first moment that Cher called Dave an Asshole 🤡. LOL 💩

[@p.m.6064]

The interview is amazing. That version of One by one, however, is dreadful. The European mix was so much better.

[@cayetanotirado5907]

The European version is more of a mix house music for dancing; This version it's her original from her 1996 CD "It's a Man's World"

[@DavidVarkonyi]

The European version was the original along with the rest of the 14 songs and that cd was released a year earlier in 1995. The American version was just 3 songs cut and 5 remixed.

[@anngonzalez5550]

[@B1uelamp]

Highest key cher song ??

[@anthonyhurley2868]

Just this one time, from the album stars

[@athenagriego4561]

is that Darlene Love?

[@cayetanotirado5907]

Yep, It is Darlene Love, She started with Phil Spector before Cher did and apparently Cher made it big and Darlene still sings background music. To be fair Cher also had a big promoter , her husband Sonny Bono. The blonde woman background singer in the middle next to Darlene Love was also a frequent background addition for Cher's opening act but I thought I read she passed away a few years ago.

[@Bye_Hghts]

I've never watched letterman before at all......... I've seen more keeping up with the kardashians. I swear 🙆🏾‍♂️🗣️📲 so it's extra funny to me 😃

[@wannabe4668]

She looks very different. Botox face lift too much makeup. Just watched video of her visit in 91 and she actually looked pretty. She looks fake in this one. She wasn’t wearing a wig, no over the top makeup and it was her face. Ladies, age gracefully not begrudgingly, you are prettier than what you believe. Stop trying to look twenty when you are fifty.

[@TheHappys]

duuhh I'm david letterman mehhhhhhhhh

she is so thin... I can't believe why a woman who's not even 50 is already having plastic surgery

[@dazzlertyler]

Marría Catchy because now at 71 she looks even better. That why.

[@cayetanotirado5907]

She was always thin at 106 pounds, but now age has caught up with her and she's gained 20 pounds, still looks good but not as the statuesque thin figure she had during her Sonny and Cher Show years on CBS in the 1970s.

[@natashaviktor1466]

[@alicecarrol1810]

To all the C students before and after me... Dave. Remember why you had that carved in stone? Because I gave a lot of money to get it there and gasped. Remembering that day he'd met the crazy guy... Some of us had just gone for the education we could. Time never allows much else... but I'll put why encoded on a star ... named not for a cat... Dave, proof is sometimes required... even for those who will never get to go back...

[@alicecarrol1810]

Where Dave had asked... Grace will explain it to you dave

[@alicecarrol1810]

After the admiral retires ... credentials much to impressive for a show like yours... tell ya what I'll make it an F class star. Like me academically speaking... Really you don't sound that way. Dave had replied... if you really are the guy at the end of the... BIBLE? NO. You don't get Johnny's show... before he could say what he wanted to, I added. Dave. You're needed elsewhere... you'll see one day And I'll become a True... Believer I finished for him as a song came onto the sound system unbidden by him. A Monkees song from a Saturday TV show aimed at adolescents from don kershner ... I watch his face get a far away look . And wasn't there as he'd asked what he had...
