If Kanye didn't have money he would be standing on a street corner with a shopping cart shouting at people about the end of the world.

[alishamaxine]

Kanye doesn’t have “somewhat” of a reputation for being a loose cannon… it’s beyond somewhat 😂

[Showman_]

Surprised that Tom Cruise jumping on the couch during Oprah wasn't on here

[ashleysmashley]

Ellen literally shooting daggers at Kanye through her eyes. 🤣🤣🤣

[alexramirez]

The one time Ellen didn't interrupt her guest during the interview, and she should have

[COMPFUNK]

The problem I had with Jerry Seinfeld berating the audience for chuckling at Michael Richards is that he made it seem as though _Michael_ was the victim.

[Marsha-at-Home-Endeavor]

Watching Andy grope Ivanka and how she was trying to be a good sport is how so many women have to deal with unwanted touching. It is kind of ironic who her father is though.

[f.stewie]

David Letterman was involved in so many of these. 😂😂😂 I wonder what the vibe was like at that show?🤔🤔

[COMPFUNK]

There was also an episode of Dick Cavett where one of his guests actually died on stage. But that episode never aired.

[Mitsu]

Wait, the host asks Madonna to kiss a random guy in the audience but the issue is that she has a potty mouth?

[thelmarequena]

Farrah Fawcett on Letterman. I've always loved her. It was sad to see her so out of it. 🥺

[angelaholmes]

I was totally shocked watching andy on the Jimmy Kimmel show he was totally inappropriate

[kris]

No mention for Andy Kaufman’s appearances on Letterman? Between the Lawler-slap gag as well as Kaufman another time begging audience members for money until security took him out, those were probably some of my favorite uncomfortable Late Night moments ever 🤣

[MsSmashley]

How does Andy Kaufman and Jerry Lawler on the tonight show with Dave letterman not land on this list?

[acciotardisalohomora]

I didn't expect to laugh so hard at the Conan segment nor cry at the John Oliver part T.T Thank you John Oliver & Ms. Mojo for adding this to the list.

[manramen]

Madonna moment was back when women were still (and frankly sadly are still kinda to this day expected) expected to not back talk men or question gender norms and double standards. She literally tells Letterman to his face "you talk about my sex life all the time on your show now im here and I cant?"

[skwisgarskwigelf]

Yeah perhaps a comedy show was not the best forum for a sincere apology 😂

[mirandabullard]

Andy is not funny. Sexual Harassment is not funny.

[latetotheparty]

I like how the screen says for Kanye that he’s going rouge instead of rogue.

[JustAVerySmith]

I’m honestly surprised nothing from The View made it on here!
