like these celebs didn’t get the memo
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
celebrities wasted on live TV before we
begin we publish new videos every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we are showcasing
the times it was painfully obvious that
a celebrity was drunk stoned or
otherwise out of it during an interview
what are you gonna be doing on this tour
I’m gonna be doing Papa’s got a brand
new bag of living in America sex machine
get up up with that slang I feel good
number 10 Anna Nicole Smith you never
know what you’re gonna see on live TV
especially when Anna Nicole Smith was
involved the former model and television
personality was known for her hard
partying ways her bizarre behavior was
seen on everything from talk shows to
her short-lived reality show the Anna
Nicole show still no one could have
predicted her memorably hazy appearance
at the 2004 American Music Awards though
she was onstage for barely a minute
the visibly intoxicated presenter
slurred her way to several infamous
quotes I want this guy to producing mom
make me be
her boozy performance made the rounds on
the internet and Smith later denied
being drunk but popular opinion and
video suggests otherwise
number nine Tracy Morgan I have an apple
juice oh we don’t have apple juice sir
then I’ll take a vodka and tonic
this funny man is known for playing a
parody version of himself on 30 rock and
he played up his partying ways for
laughs both on the show and in his
stand-up but on his appearance on El
Paso’s kvi a morning show
Morgan was playing it for real and was
clearly still recovering from a night
out at the local strip club Texas El
Paso I’m telling you now with the
Jaguars last night ladies here Wow oh my
god
despite the interviewers best efforts
the interview quickly went off the rails
when Morgan inevitably took his shirt
off as part of quote a mating call
that’s a mating call that’s a main call
the Ludacris segment was something even
the 30 rock writers couldn’t make up
number 8 Ben Affleck they would like it
better if you did the show top once the
station when they word to the wise
tequila and talk shows don’t mix Affleck
has been the star of several inebriated
interviews but nothing quite compares to
his 2004 appearance on québécois TV on
set to promote his film Jersey girl the
actor spent his time groping hosts and
Murray logic instead the clip features
an intoxicated Affleck flirting his way
through the interview and making
multiple references to the hosts body
and somehow finding an opportunity to
make fun of people with disabilities
make me look like I am retard that I
look like I have very bad palsy now
even including Gigli this is one of
Affleck’s worst performances especially
given the fact that he’d gone through a
30-day rehab program three years prior
number seven
Courtney Love well no one can say she
wasn’t enjoying the rock-and-roll
lifestyle at the 1995 MTV Video Music
Awards Kurt Loder was in the middle of
interviewing Madonna when Courtney Love
decided to make a cameo appearance much
too the material girls chagrin Lauder
invited love to join in on the interview
an invitation the whole front woman
gladly accepted love proceeded to hijack
the entire segment and discussed a range
of topics including fashion and
astrophysics eventually Madonna decided
that she’d had enough but Courtney
soldered on conducting most of the
remainder of the interview from the
floor number six Paula Abdul it was two
steps forward and many steps back during
this drunken interview the 80s pop star
had a 2000s revival thanks to the
reality sensation American Idol but more
than a few people questioned the judges
sobriety thanks to some slurred words
and flirty behavior it all came to a
head when she appeared on Seattle’s q13
Fox Morning News in early 2007 despite
the hosts many attempts to keep the
segment on track the swaying singer had
a series of nonsensical answers on route
to Internet infamy right after that what
do Idol fans have to look forward to
this season and what are you looking
forward to seeing well
is that what it is I was wondering what
is that
her publicist later attributed her
behavior to fatigue and technical
difficulties but few seem to agree
number five
Danny DeVito I’ve never felt more alive
in my life sure what do you get when you
mix booze with sleep deprivation this
for this infamous 2006 interview on the
vue de vino showed up direct from an
all-night bender drinking his patented
limoncellos lemon cellos that was going
to get me the resulting interview played
out like a real-life drunk uncle segment
right down to the political rent women
and men in the military yeah DeVito
channeled his inner Frank Reynolds by
exhibiting all sorts of cartoonish
behavior and even rambled his way
through the entire plot of deck the
halls’ much to the audience’s chagrin
mercifully Rosie O’Donnell ended the
segment but not before the intoxicated
actor went for a little on-air cuddling
number four Mark Wahlberg recipe for
disaster
no one likes drunken rambling but that’s
what the audience got when this actor
made an appearance on the Graham Norton
Show in 2013 the Irish host is known for
feeding celebrities alcohol but it’s
clear that Marky Mark had one too many
shots of something before going on
camera
many people have been wrongfully
convicted and our system is flawed so we
need to figure that out and our elected
officials more than not are corrupted by
power and enticed by money and that’s
that’s a problem that’s a situation that
we need to deal with the 15-minute
interview felt like it lasted an
eternity
especially after Wahlberg interrupted
guests and cozied up to both the host
and Sarah Silverman retail store
discount women’s clothing store called
crazy Sophie’s Factory Outlet smells so
good
the inevitable hangover must have made
his flight back across the pond as
uncomfortable as this interview number
three
Bill Murray normally Bill Murray can do
no wrong the illustrious comedy career
the hilarious talk show appearances the
effortless swagger but the bigger they
are the harder they fall
the comedian learned that the hard way
during a boozy appearance on the last
word with lawrence O’Donnell in 2015
fresh off of vodka fueled appearance on
Late Show with David Letterman Murray
wandered on to the set and disrupted the
serious news program with some major
slurring I think you’re doing great and
when he said would you come it wasn’t a
question rather than laughs the
appearance earned Murray nothing but
scorn from O Donnell especially after he
crashed off his stool number two James
Brown we’ve all had our fair share of
drunk karaoke but James Brown took it to
another level in a raucous 1988
interview on CNN Sonia live the
Godfather of Soul started off the
interview singing a drunken version of
living in America how did all of this
trouble begin and kept returning to it
despite his joyful mood the funk legend
was actually on air to discuss
allegations of shooting at his wife now
James this isn’t the first time you and
your wife have had a problem on the two
of you gonna be able to work this out
talk about some music the whole
interview was a bit of a debacle as
Brown redirected the hosts questions
with a series of memorable sound bites
and what are you gonna say to your fans
when they ask you some questions about
it I’m gonna Zeb yeah good the legendary
clip lives in infamy and even resurfaced
after Jordan Peele released a parody
version in 2015 before we unveil our
number one pick here are some honorable
mentions I think was confidential in the
Daily Telegraph this morning I did yeah
whatever whatever it was but you know
there’s a lot of Greeks here in
yeah yeah Greeks I’m asking you don’t
buy this paper no no number one Steve oh
there was a time when steve-o was known
as much for his hard-partying ways as he
was for his dramatic stunts his
self-destructive behavior was on full
display in a 2005 appearance on too late
with Adam Corolla the stunt man spent
this interview breaking the set tackling
the host and barely keeping his pants on
it’s no surprise that his demons
eventually caught up to him he entered
psychiatric treatment in 2008 thanks to
severe addictions to cocaine PCP and
nitrous oxide thankfully for Adam
Carolla and his set steve-o remains
reportedly at least clean and sober to
this day do you agree with our picks
