Madonna's 1994 interview shocked the public: the pop diva swore, smoked on air and made indecent proposals. Archived video

The legendary pop diva Madonna' s interview with host David Letterman in 1994 shocked the singer's fans and still impresses new fans, despite the fact that 30 years have passed. The conversation went down in television history after the artist cursed fourteen times, making it the most censored talk show in the United States.

Throughout the conversation, the singer, who was 35 years old at the time, smoked a cigar, shouted offensive words, and even took off her underwear. Her behavior outraged viewers, who complained en masse to the Federal Communications Commission, Metro writes.

A kiss to a fan

At the beginning of the interview, the 47-year-old Letterman told Madonna to kiss a guy from the audience on the forehead so that "he would faint." Respectfully declining the strange request, the guest firmly emphasized: "I can't." The host then praised the artist for not succumbing to pressure.

Underwear as a gift

However, Madonna decided to surprise the journalist: she gave Letterman a pair of her panties, urging him to "smell them." Puzzled, the host sighed and then probably threw the underwear in the trash off-camera.

Commercial break

During the interview, Letterman could be seen practically counting down the minutes to the commercial break, but Madonna tried to thwart the plan. At first, she refused to go to commercial, saying, "I don't think we should ever go off for commercials, let's just keep recording every second." Eventually, a commercial was put on the screens.

Toilet conversations

Letterman inquired about the artist's impressive transformations, but the topic again came to a standstill. Instead of discussing her epic transformations, Madonna closed his question and started talking about how she urinates in the shower. "No, seriously, peeing in the shower is very good, it helps fight athlete's foot," the pop star insisted, "Urine is like an antiseptic.

Strange hints

When the dialog turned to basketball and the US National Basketball Association (NBA), the megastar continued the conversation in a strange way. "This microphone is very long," Madonna said seductively and then added: "Speaking of the NBA... I'm sorry I always go there."

Letterman also asked Madonna about her nose piercing and whether it hurt "when they put that thing in your nose." Laughing, the singer joked: "I thought you were going to ask me if anything else hurt..."

Exchange of insults

Suddenly Madonna looked Letterman up and down and asked if his hair was a "mat," hinting that it was a wig. The host picked up on the artist's "game" and in response called her hairstyle a "swimming cap" because the star's locks were combed back. Later, Madonna asked Letterman if he had a girlfriend. When he answered in the affirmative, she could not hide her shock.

Madonna refused to leave the show

One would think Madonna would be desperate to finish the interview, but instead she refused to leave the studio. When Letterman concluded the 20-minute interview, she didn't budge and told the audience that she would "still be here" and "not going anywhere."

Producer Daniel Callison mentioned in an article for Grantland that he was tasked with "getting rid of" Madonna. Explaining his method, he said: "I went on stage and said loudly: "Say hello to the audience." Madonna waved, and I took her hand as if I were helping her up - and I did pull her up slightly. And over the orchestra I said loudly again: "Say goodbye..." She waved her hand in confusion. Still holding her hand, I led her off the stage."
