Misbehaving on Letterman!
Perhaps you watched my appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman last Friday night. As usual, it was a lot of fun. Because it was Super Bowl weekend, my producers and I came up with a table decorated as a football field. We had football themed party foods including a cheese football – a nut-covered cheese ball in the shape of a football. I was demonstrating how to make it during my segment when Dave started to act up.
- All of these screaming young fans were there for Justin Bieber. However, they did all chant ‘Martha’ as soon as they saw me.
- The paparazzi was out in full force. It’s always such an odd sensation being their focus.
- The long line of fans waiting to get into the Letterman taping
- Judy Morris – Special Projects Producer – explaining the Superbowl-inspired party demo
- Charlie Green, my makeup artist, clowning around with the Green Bay Packers cheesehead
- The football field table ready to be moved onto the set
- The view from my dressing room – Despite the freezing temperatures, the crowd outside was quite thick.
