Maya Rudolph Says Appearance on David Letterman’s Show Left Her ‘Humiliated’
NOT SO FUNNY
Mathew Murphy Senior News Editor Updated Oct. 29, 2022
Comedian Maya Rudolph says she was left “embarrassed and humiliated” when she appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman in 2009. Rudolph, 50, told WSJ magazine that she “did not have a good time” when she appeared on the show despite Letterman, 75, being one of her childhood heroes. “He said my name wrong, and I just sat there, like, I grew up my whole life in love with you. And now my heart is broken. And I’m sitting here embarrassed and humiliated,” she said. “I didn’t know how to handle it. I didn’t know how to come up with something funny to say. My public persona muscle wasn’t strong yet.” Rudolph rose to fame after joining the cast of Saturday Night Live in 1999 before going on to star in movies including Bridesmaids. Letterman has not responded on Rudolph’s comments but he did apologize for the error pronouncing her name at the time “from the bottom of my heart.”
A few decades of therapy and she should be fine. ![[giveup]](//storage.proboards.com/7182076/images/FSYefibmKqtatIXMgHZg.gif) |

Having not watched SNL since the days of Eddie Murphy - and even then not always - I had to look up who this person was. Will that break her heart as well?

She was in Grown Ups and Bridesmaids........if that helps at all
I knew who she was........ just couldn't believe a 50 yr old woman couldn't handle someone mispronouncing her name. Either BE FUNNY and respond by mispronouncing their name, too......... or simply correct them. Is it that hard a thing to do? |

I've had different people mistake both my first and last name at various points... shit happens. I suggest she deals with it and gets herself a life. |

Once I saw her face, I remembered her... but couldn't actually place her until I went to IMDb and saw she was in "Grownups." |
