Late night talk shows have seen their fair share of unforgettable moments, both cringe-worthy and captivating. Madonna’s flirtatious banter with Johnny Carson, Janice Joplin’s final interview before her tragic passing, and Farrah Fawcett’s controversial statement about bras are just a few examples.
Raquel Welch’s stunning presence on Dick Cavett’s show and Ann-Margret’s insistence on being taken seriously also left lasting impressions. Whitney Houston’s powerful performance and Joan Rivers’ envy of Elvira’s allure added to the mix.
Cher’s solo career debut after splitting from Sonny was a standout moment, while Bette Midler and Robin Williams delivered an emotional farewell to Johnny Carson. These guests, along with others like Elvis Presley and Joan Crawford, have left an indelible mark on late night television history.
