“I was thinking about this. Green Day, whenever Green Day would be on…I was frightened by their drummer. Whenever they would finish, he would charge the desk and lunge at me”.
Letterman further continued,
“To the point where I assumed he was kidding around or perhaps he actually wanted to hurt me. Looking back at that now, I just think, ‘Wow, what a great experience that was'”.
Well, having interviewed hundreds of celebrities over the years, Letterman had also once interviewed veteran actor Will Smith, 2 months before the Oscar slap incident.

Well, who knew that this dream would turn into a waking nightmare for the actor? His career was shredded into pieces after he slapped Chris Rock. As for Letterman, the former late-show host currently works as an executive producer for several projects.
