That's the misterious and unique power of pure artists and their art: they can be relevant and engaging even 100, 200 years after they are gone. I am Italian and "discovered" Bill Hicks' and George Carlin material from the latest 80s when I was in my twenties, in 2006-2007. To me, their routines sounded more current and accurate than any other work I'd heard before, and those routines were already 20-25 years old when I first listened to them. Look at their material today: it is even more relevant than back then! True artists embrace the entire human condition, they speak for generations and to generations, and you can always get how good their points are and learn from them if you are willing to listen to them carefully. Fran is a true artist, that's why she sounds incredibly interesting :)

I'm watching these back to back for the first time and can't get over how soft-spoken she is during these interviews and how Dave equally brings down his tone and is sincerely interested in talking with her. I don't think I've ever seen him as at ease with a guest in all the years I've seen him do interviews. I watched him for all the years he was on, and these interviews are just a whole different world. These two would be best friends if they lived in the same neighborhood.

Like he spent 30 years trying to figure out how she does her thing. Their attitudes really sync up in the last couple of clips though, really funny exchange.

Letterman kept focusing on her vocation as an author when in reality she's a public speaker. She really only wrote 2 books and that's all he focused on. Since she never wrote again, her appearances diminished. Squandered opportunity but 2nd and 3rd slot guests only get about 5 mins, so there's not a lot you can do in that time except rehash the same old tropes.

Wow Fran started coming on letterman early in her career, right when her friends where Peter hugar, David wajnorewicz, and part of the art world on the east village. I remember growing up on 2nd Ave in NYC in the 80s and seeing these folks, now they have become legendary.

I found this series whilst idly scrolling through Netflix and gradually losing the will to live with the dire option on offer when to my delight found her series of interviews with Martin Scorcese. I've never heard of her but will look out for more of her witty and acid output.

I also discovered Fran Lebowitz when she wrote that piece that was published in Newsweek, when I was a teenager. I read everything I could get my hands on that she wrote and became obsessed with her because she confirmed my belief that algebra did not exist in the real world, so why bother? (It turned out we were both wrong about that, but who cares?) So happy when I saw "Just Pretend It's A City," especially the footage of Fran tromping around NYC with a scowl on her face. She is so damn funny.
