Welcome to the Letterman UA-cam Channel, home to all your favorite clips from Late Night and Late Show - as well as conversations with the writers, producers and performers who helped make it all happen. The language may strike you as quaint & flowery, the clothing comically lacey & ornate - but that’s how things were back in this colorful and now bygone era. - Розваги
His confidence and relax nature is unbelievable for 22
very clever man
facts
It’s called heroin
George is smart and a class act and Dave knows it despite the audience snickering (which George calls out beautifully).
Boy George was sentenced to 15 months in prison for attacking Norwegian model Audun Carlsen. He was convicted of assault and false imprisonment after being found guilty of handcuffing Carlsen to a radiator and beating him with a metal chain.
Do you understand pride people are extremely physical and violent to women and children?
3:57 - The audience laughter followed by George's playful yet sincere admonishment. Killing them with kindness, indeed. Remarkable interview and impressively composed for living his truth in a time when it couldn't have been easy. He's been through a lot; hope he's hanging in there these days.
I LOVE George of the 80s ! Not only was his voice unbeatable, but he was HONEST and sincere in his interviews!
NOW, he just tells people HOW he wants them to think of him.
George O'Dowd: incredibly calm and composed at age 22. Amazing talent---go, Eltham! 💓💓
As a child of the 80’s George and the Culture Club were ever present in those days. You couldn’t turn on the radio or mtv without hearing him. A pioneer musically and socially. Gracefully paved the way for so many others in the face of much adversity.
he is so witty and quick for 22 years old, George always handled any interview
!!
So much coded language! George is a badass.
I was in High School and we were all obsessed with Late Night when this interview happened. This along with Mr T was one of the most anticipated interviews all year. Everyone couldn't wait to see how Dave was going to treat him
Ahead of his time with wisdom and awareness of ignorance. Great sweet calm dude.
I think he could get back into the music scene again. I hear Culture Club music on the radio all the time
What a wise, calm, and strong person was George at the only 22. He still a very smart person.
G is still alive and touring in 23, plus he looks pretty damn good all these years later.
Agree
I've met Sir. Boy George recently in Los Angeles. He was such a positive person. I mean really positive person Infront me and it really made me think he is like some kind of Buddhist monk or something so enlightened person . Good person. 👍
If you overlook his violent and toxic crimes yes, he's almost a saint
@@halfabeet Cocaine's a helluva drug
he is literally a kidnapper...
@@halfabeet haha
Boy George imo became a walking contradiction. Looked like a woman but wants to be called Sir. I hate that word and I consider it misgendering when someone refers to me as that.. BG may be seen as a pioneer but he gives into the right wing bigots and is kind of one himself now. He went against trans people actually.
He's a really smart guy ( George )
The Album "colour by numbers" was an incredible "chef d'œuvre"
My favourite George era. ❤️
Mine too
HIS VOICE and integrity (honesty) were at the top in the 80s!
Wow 22 so smart love him❤
Culture Club, Van Halen, Twisted Sister, Cyndi Lauper, Lene Lovich, Prince, Michael Jackson, ABC and if I thought for longer I could remember more. These are the faces and songs for pre-kindergarten me with a sibling that was 7 years older. I'm glad we got our MTV in Podunkville. I distinctly remember Church of the Poison Mind IN the parking lot of the apartment complex we were living in. For almost a full year. Car radios, cheap boomboxes and even little transistor radios on the steps. I would go as far as saying Georgie Boy who wasn't at his best at some points the past 35 years, should be considered one of those international treasures. He is. There is no other Boy George. He and Culture Club made songs that have become some of the new "standards". Karma Chameleon is just as important as I Got Rhythm. WAR IS STUPID!
RIP Hervé Villechaize
0:40 he has such a relaxing, smooth voice it’s crazy😅
BG was a millennium ahead
George is the best!
8:32 “let’s just forget it”😂😂😂
Knew he was out of his depth but experienced enough to stop digging.
He was a bit shocking in 84 but he seems totally normal now
He’s rather tame compared to most ppl now actually
Therein lies the problem...
Such a beautiful soul ❤️
George is beautiful 🥰
The banter between these two is genuine and funny without being offensive, even though they are very different people. Dave was the best at getting the best out of people. George is a highly evolved being and truly exceptional songwriter and musician. I grew up in the 80’s but was born a Metal Head, it wouldn’t be until my teen years that I expanded my musical palette and well into my twenties before rediscovering Culture Club and appreciating their music. I would recommend a second listen to anyone that might’ve not been a fan in their heyday, they were deeper than the standard pop music back then.
I love him!
ahead of his time
He looks so beautiful here and that audience is lame because they can't take the beauty
Literally he’s gorgeous
7:24 people remember those kinda songs. Do you really want to hurt me?? Do you really want to make me cry 😢🎉❤ I loved that song. this interview. Courageous inspiring 🎉
Love love boy George!!
Boy George is hard to figure out sometimes. But man I gotta say, Karma Chameleon and Bow Down Mister are two of my favorite songs of all time. Bow Down Mister just blows me away.
At 10yrs old I thought he was gorgeous. And used to stare at the album cover while singing his songs.
Love Boy George
Comprendiendo... ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
He was very young at that time👀
22?
God David was so young!
"Outside"
❤❤❤
As I age...I actually respect someone like Boy George more than Dave, because he isn't afraid to just be who he is, to embody how he feels, to be kind, nice. Dave meanwhile functions more like a guy who tries to poke and bring out something uneasy in people, to sort of unsettle them, almost provoke them. Which is...weird, it's like he comes off as someone who was afraid to be who he was, so he acted like being culturally conventional and questioning anything unusual is the only sane or smart thing to do. Which means Dave put way too much stock in what others think of him?
Dave got more interesting with age, but here he was just brash and kinda crude. It's quite interesting George wasn't emotionally phased by it at all, that takes some very firm and mature peace with who you are. I never saw an interview with him before, but he comes off smart, well.
BG does favor Brooke Shields. I've never noticed until he said it. I just love him ❤
❤😙
Dave is a great interviewer.

It stinks when relationships get bad press and too many people know personal business
I forgot how tall George O'Dowd is. I met him back in UK, when Malcolm McLaren managed the band that became Bow WOw Wow and wanted George to front the band except Malcolm wanted George to call himself Lieutenant Lush. This line up didn't last beyond a few rehearsals. Next time I heard of George was this new band Culture Club. I had to agree with John Lydon's assessment at the time, he thought George was a great talent but his band had no balls , " they're so wimpy, so la-de-la-de-dah ".
How were they wimpy ? Lol. They were outside the box at the time especially George
George, wimpy? I don't think so.
Neither of you are very good at reading comprehension, are you? Lydon said the band was wimpy, not George.
Boy George sounds a bit like Smokey Robinson. So I can tell he was influenced by him,he's definitely a man I bet he has no problem getting a woman if he wanted one 😉
Not dead, bankrupt!
Seems a bit odd. Kind of a Epstine vibe
Letterman's audience was always like a pack of snickering hyenas

@@robertgoerssThe dates are always in the notes.
@@robertgoerss You're welcome. Glad to be able to help.
Correction: 6/29/83
Suspicious how he mentions everyone but BOWIE as being an influence, when we all know the truth of the matter. At that time, the Summer of 1983, Bowie was a major chart rival, with the massive success of Let's Dance and the Serious Moonlight Tour.
He has said in the past that David Bowie was one of his biggest influences.
Hé was and is a big fan of Bowie .
Hé came in clubs were Bowie also came before hé became a singer
letterman so bad questions.... i never like im
This dude meditates loud
SOPHIE TURNER! I LOVE YOU!
As we can see Sophie Turner is the most beautiful woman in the World
George is bemused by the stupid US questions.
😂😂❤😂
Maga folks: Who tf is this new trans activist coming for our children!!??? *Clutches pearls*
Trans “Activist” are coming for your kids. Trans people aren’t.
Like that freak in the MN pride parade exposing his junk to kids?
He is not a murderer or a 14 year old that stabs a 17 year old as they do now.
You can talk, Most children now KILL .
George is a smart, sensible man who just dresses differently but has a lot of respect for people. Unlike the children of today that hate their parents/ rebel/ then become murderes and drug addicts, wanting everthing their " own way".
Their attitude " stinks" today!
Unlike George, who's attitude is " caring".
