Sandra Bernhard on Madonna Friendship, Roseanne

[@rogerparis]

Sandra Bernhard is a National treasure. Her Letterman appearances made her the best guest ever on that show. I’ve watched every one. A true original, one of a kind force of nature.

[@delusionsofgrandeur1330]

Madonna part @ 9:00

[@remingtongraves]

The only part worth watching.

[@matrixone22]

Thank you

[@Anathemma-ck4hc]

9 number for love

[@dbgreene9020]

Absolutely LOVE Sandra. I met her when I worked at the Ali Forney Center with homeless LGBTQIA youth. She performed at a fund raiser and she was incredibly kind and sweet to all of the staff.

[@paulamiles9559]

She's unabashedly sweet and kind. She'll say something outrageous and then say " but the kids expect it"

[@kellydione29]

I remember watching "Without You, I Am Nothing" at the Tivoli theatre in Kansas City. Had a huuuge crush on her, her vibe is just so in your face and unapologetic.

[@Movieshd2006]

Sandra is super creative and talented. I did discover her through Madonna in the early 90's but then I quickly realized that Sandra was a great talent and had an underground following. I'm glad she has had longevity in her career

[@christopherblair3200]

That was a good interview. Questions were perfect in order to keep Sandra in a free flow of talking.

I met Sandra 2x in NYC. Once in the 90s on the street and then again at a fundraising event for the Ali Fornay Center when I worked there in the late 2000s. She is a LEGEND and all of us who lived in NYC in the late 80s early 90s, remember how iconic and trailblazing she really was for the LGBTQIA community. Absolutely love Sandra!! ❤️ ICON. Amazing interview 👏🏼

Jess is such a great interviewer. Great questions, she knows her stuff. Great to watch, great guests.

[@lenalennon8746]

Yes, very enjoyable piece. 👍💗⭐

[@paulabrownyates6515]

Excellent interview Jess! Wow! I love your provocative questions that are delivered so eloquently. I met Sandra in Toronto after her "Without You I'm Nothing" performance. I was in my 20s and so intimidated by her powerful personality at the time but she was so sweet and down to earth when I met her as she signed my tour poster for me as we chatted. Keep up the awesome work! Your Melissa Etheridge interview was amazing too and I did comment on it as well!!

[@albertramirez9770]

If it hadn't been for Madonna, the mainstream femme fatale that's ever so present now in pop culture, would never have existed. Madonna trail blazed the masses of the 80s into wakefulness, something of which was never before experienced. Without her, men would have continued to control the narrative in this "material world", a time Madonna gladly made inept for a new millennia. To quote her hit song Express Yourself from the late 80s, "don't go for second best..", women, girls and even men (those with balls large enough to hang in her realm) continue to listen to her call to "put your love to the test."

[@JessRothschild]

agree!

[@nebo2073]

At the same time she ruined it for many women. Theres also a bunch of those who thought they could live like madonna, do things for attention, focus only on sexual and superficial and then ended up miserable cause it was not fullfilling. And now looking at Madonna what she turned into in past years many must be like - what was i thinking?!

[@MrAnthonyinsf]

Sandra Bernhard is the one being interviewed in this video. Did I miss something or is your comment misplaced?

[@paulsmith8510]

Madonna has always been a joke. Lmao.

[@Trenton.D]

Of course there would have been.

[@todddepue681]

Always interesting to hear Sandra speak about pretty much anything. As a fashion student in early 90s, discovering her unique brand of stylish sophisticated humor was really exciting. Also a life long Madonna fan, so their friendship was always fascinating to watch. I would like to point out that Madonna does have decades long friendships with Debi Mazar and Rosie O'Donnell and probably others we don't even know about, so kinda unfair of SB to imply that Madonna can't keep a friend. But she's been saying it for years and I can certainly respect that as her personal experience.

[@ericluriergo8251]

Madonna was SICK of SB’s negativity.

[@Susieq26754]

I had a friend that looked and sounded like Sandra. She passed away two years ago. So seeing Sandra now makes me miss her.

[@User45gtl65kml]

It was very interesting and Sandra is very dynamique and a happiness person. The direction of the interview was very good and it's opened on good subjects. 😊❤

It’s a shame she isn’t still friends with Madonna - I think Madonna needs a good friend like Sandra as she’s gone off the rails imo 🥺

Yes!!!

[@remingtongraves]

The way the interviewer said she wasn’t gonna dwell on the Madonna stuff and then ended up not only using Madonna’s name in the title but also using her image in the thumbnail. The jokes write themselves.

[@JessRothschild]

Thanks!

[@youtubepapi]

Most of the world was introduced to Sandra through Madonna. Jesse didn’t dwell on Madonna, she could have asked way more questions. She showed restraint.

Sandra Bernhard is just there isn't she, just so present; her call out to Liz Tilberis & Harpers Bazaar during her all to brief tenure as editor & her all to short life - was really beautiful.

[@Noodleydoo]

Back in the 90''s, my friends and I went to see Sandra in a show she was doing at Stubb's Bar-b-Q. When we passed by the outdoor performance area, we saw basically saw nobody waiting for the show to start. It was strange--I mean NOBODY was there. I thought maybe I'd gotten the date wrong. We went up to the doorman and he said that they literally sold only four tickets and three were to us!! The show got cancelled!

[@sel3248]

Seems like Sandra will always be a little resentful . It's not gonna change. Madonna still has friends before her fame, that achieved entertainment success as well. Some people are only ment to be in our lives for awhile / not forever. Sandra cant except that. But that's ok she'll probably move on one day.

I guess Sandra doesn’t know what Prince was referring to in Little Red Corvette.

Incredible

[@Gk2003m]

Remember when Madonna was a good looking gal? She had a classic face. A face that, had it been left alone, would have aged very gracefully. But in her relentlessness, she butchered it

[@tinabolesful5184]

oh I love her

[@junesondrab3833]

Madonna is always changing her style, her music. She could have simply just grew out of her friendship with SB. Madonna evolves constantly, and she has the same friends for decades too..from what I read.

[@ericluriergo8251]

I remember seeing her at The World nightclub in NYC: one night they were totally harassing Joan Rivers, chasing her up and down the stairs. The few times I met her she was nasty as all get out!! I just thought it was because I was really androgynous so she didn’t know what to make of me-Instead she was just nasty and very Anti-Mexican, stating many anti-Latino slurs. I was mortified bc all I did was tell her in SF after the film premiere of “Without You I’m Nothing”was how much I adored her and she just looked down on me and started making Anti-Mexican slurs. She was nasty as ALL get out!!
