Video: Time for another “Danny DeVito drunk on morning television” clip

Via Breitbart, not so much a palate cleanser as another heaping helping of liberal sexism per this week’s Letterman clusterfark. I think I’ve been drunk in the morning twice in my life, both times during college. This guy’s done it on live TV twice in the past three years; you’ll remember the first time, in which he babbled about limoncellos and called Bush a “numbnuts,” as probably the most bizarrely entertaining 10 minutes in the long history of “The View.” Actually, I’m not even sure he’s drunk here. I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt simply because I can’t quite believe he’d be this boorish sober. Presumably the reporter’s afraid to alienate a celebrity who might blackball her with other celebs or walk away from an interview she’d been assigned to do, but she’d have been well within her rights to slap him or pull the plug after his “easy access” crack. And would have gotten a hell of a lot more buzz online for doing so.
As for Double D, no doubt he’ll get his when Rhea sees this clip.

Is it possible Danny was seperated at birth from Barney Frank. Maybe they were conjoined twins.

*drooooooool* Didsh yooo know I usht ta be on Taaaaaxi?
MadisonConservative on June 11, 2009 at 6:50 PM
Within the first 15 seconds I was thinking “God, how creepy would it be if him and Letterman were drinking buddies?”
Lemmy on June 11, 2009 at 6:53 PM
I’ve never been much of a fan of DeVito. I still think he’s a real life troll and he should be living under a cobblestone bridge somewhere in the countryside.
But that seemed pretty much tit for tat to me once he set the tone. She actually had a few good zingers. Although, short jokes are pretty easy to zing.
SilverStar830 on June 11, 2009 at 6:56 PM
Holy hell, it must take half a lite beer to get this doofus drunk.
HornetSting on June 11, 2009 at 6:56 PM
His twin brother Arnold couldn’t have done a better job with California WHILE SOBER.
portlandon on June 11, 2009 at 6:56 PM
utterly pointless to view this arseclown doing anything short of driving off a cliff in a brand new maserati.
Mike D. on June 11, 2009 at 6:57 PM
Funniest show on TV.
Dr. Manhattan on June 11, 2009 at 6:57 PM
Drinking, or not, it’s uncalled for. What a petty, pathetic, has been.
Or, perhaps this is his way, of getting back some long lost attention for himself. It has been awhile, since his name has made news. Hasn’t it?

Where’s the outrage……?

For me, it was during my Navy service after a grueling 12hr midwatch.
Nothing like a case of Oly and a box of powdered Hostess donuts to get a barracks party started.
The Ugly American on June 11, 2009 at 7:05 PM
Drinking that early never turns out good. But I loved him in Taxi. Taxi was classic.
Dire Straits on June 11, 2009 at 7:12 PM
Mr. Devito continued:
Before being hurried away by his handlers to a near-by limo.
SuperCool on June 11, 2009 at 7:12 PM
Sir, that is NO WAY to enjoy good brew!
Mixing Oly with powdered donuts…MADNESS!
SuperCool on June 11, 2009 at 7:15 PM
I’ve been drunk twice in the morning in college
Once when I had vodka with my blueberry pancakes
And when I woke up drunk from the night before.
blatantblue on June 11, 2009 at 7:15 PM
I blame this all on Carla Tortelli.
Del Dolemonte on June 11, 2009 at 7:16 PM
“Easy access”, hmmmmmmmmmmmmm,think Oval Office,
Bill Clinton,oil change,and Monica the mechanic!
On second thought,don’t!!(Sarc)

Bitter has been loser. It would be a shame if he died of alcohol poisoning.
echosyst on June 11, 2009 at 7:18 PM
Thanks for the mind crushing thought, canopfor

blatantblue on June 11, 2009 at 7:19 PM
Ya I hope he was drunk. It would be a shame if he was such a low life while he was sober.

(I’m sure I’ll burn for that one)haha!:)
canopfor on June 11, 2009 at 7:26 PM
sexual harrassment is so funny. At least he didn’t say anything nasty about gay marriage.
bloggless on June 11, 2009 at 7:28 PM
This is a promotion for Always Sunny In Philadelphia — he’s in character…
I’ve met Danny DeVito; he’s a very good dude.
HebrewToYou on June 11, 2009 at 7:28 PM
Ah, I love funny midgets.
NathanG on June 11, 2009 at 7:28 PM
Meh!! To hear Kathleen Parker tell it…she had it coming.
BigWyo on June 11, 2009 at 7:29 PM
Heres a comedy movie for Danny Devito!
Picture if you will,he’s drunk,as per usual,its
late and dark,over the mountain tops of Afghanistan,
as he slowly parachutes into a Taliban camp!
And,like Tropic Thunder,the Taliban,make Danny redo every movie that he starred in,included the tv show taxi!
Accept no booze for Danny!!(Snark).
canopfor on June 11, 2009 at 7:31 PM
Zzzzzzzzzz……….
try again later on June 11, 2009 at 7:34 PM
canopfor
You’re killing me
blatantblue on June 11, 2009 at 7:36 PM
More smorgas bored?
No thanks, couldn’t handle another bite…I’ve had quite enough.
Obviously a slow lib in front of camera day. Next time I vote for Slo-Joe reruns.
R Square on June 11, 2009 at 7:38 PM
Clusterfark is the word of the week.
jjraines on June 11, 2009 at 7:39 PM
Ha ! Barney and Danny .
One was a stand-in for the other in the movie
“Twins” with Aaaanold.
Texyank on June 11, 2009 at 7:39 PM
He’s crazy… But “It’s Always Sunny” is a freaking awesome show! I don’t think there is any redeemable value in any of the characters… It’s beautifully deplorable.
Ampersand on June 11, 2009 at 7:40 PM
You should try morning drinking more often. Andrew Sullivan has been doing it for years, along with a nice bit of herb, it is the secret of his success.
I would just hope you would have the sense not to do an interview drunk.
Mr. Joe on June 11, 2009 at 7:45 PM
Pig.
Kensington on June 11, 2009 at 7:56 PM
That was entertaining ……:(
beachkatie on June 11, 2009 at 7:57 PM
I really think this explains it. It’s all a schtick – he’s kind of a misogynist on the show.
fourstringfuror on June 11, 2009 at 7:57 PM
The right has Jon Voight philosophizing about George Washington’s farewell speech in the context of the current administration.
The left has Danny Devito slobbering over a reporter with a breakfast beer. Matt Damon circulating an e-mail about Palin banning books 10 years before they were written. George Clooney telling Charlie Rose that Bush had a secret deal with France that would cause them to vote for the war in Iraq. Sean Penn apologizing to mass murdering tyrant Saddam Hussein.
Yep, we definitely have the better deal.

I love “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”, great show. My favorite episodes are season2 “Hundred Dollar Baby” & season4 “Sweet Dee has a Heart Attack”. Very funny!
artchick on June 11, 2009 at 8:24 PM
If I was a fat, sleazy, has-been, lefty midget I would start the day with a beer too.
RobCon on June 11, 2009 at 8:28 PM
Hey, ‘HebrewToYou’ and ‘artchick;’ remember, “You’ve got to pay that troll toll, if you want that boy’s soul…”

Hey, Allah, I don’t think Rhea is going to give a crap. “WHAT THE **** IS FRED SAVAGE DOING HERE!?”
Savage on June 11, 2009 at 9:18 PM
Its always sunny in Philadelphia is probably one of the best shows on tv. I still can’t forget the episode called “Who pooped the bed?” The next season can’t come soon enough.
Complete7 on June 11, 2009 at 9:29 PM
“Are we racist if we DON’T eat the black guy?”
That show can be magical in how odd it is–I love it.
TastyPanda on June 11, 2009 at 10:31 PM
Hey, if every morning I had to roll over and look at Rhea Perlman I’d need a bracer or two.
sawbuck on June 11, 2009 at 11:37 PM
Pretty sleazy to exploit a man who obviously has a drinking problem. On the other hand, given the way the MSM’s been so vicious I guess seeing them showcase one of their own in a bad light maybe indicative some kind of cosmic balance…er, or something like that. “-)
Dr. ZhivBlago on June 11, 2009 at 11:56 PM
But does he go into a bar and order a short?
Dino64 on June 11, 2009 at 11:56 PM
I have to agree with the people calling this a PR stunt. He’s hilarious in always Sunny (Along with all the other characters). It’s definitely one of the funniest shows on TV.
Eric12470210 on June 12, 2009 at 12:08 AM
Can we do our favorite Louie lines from Taxi?
Mine was when he pisses off Elaine so she pulls his head right down by the ear, to which he responds:
“If you ever grab me by a non-erogenous part of my body again, you’re history.”
Can you believe he was only in his early 30’s when he recorded that show? Things like that are shocking me now as I hit 36. For instance, I’m now older than both Norm and Cliff were in the first season of Cheers. How sad is that?
Sharke on June 12, 2009 at 12:15 AM
When you go on the View drunk, that pretty much says it all. The guy definitely needs rehab.
AnninCA on June 12, 2009 at 12:22 AM
The news-babe was obviously game for the lame antics and actually set the tone. Devito was zoned out for half the interview.
What’s really weird is Devito drinking on set at 8:19 AM and no one seems to care. I guess acting can’t be all that hard if you can do it while half in the bag.
RadClown on June 12, 2009 at 7:13 AM
Actually, except for “our lady” on “The View”, you’d need to be drunk to even look at those uglos.
Jeff from WI on June 12, 2009 at 9:49 AM
AA holds meetings at any time of day or night just call Danny, just call.
MSGTAS on June 12, 2009 at 10:08 AM
I guess playing the Penguin wasnt a tough roll for Danny. He was playing himself
Avatar72 on June 12, 2009 at 11:54 AM
I think that you’re taking it too seriously. If you’ve seen Sunny then you know that he’s just doing the Frank character, and the other two are doing Mac and Charlie.
phelps on June 12, 2009 at 1:47 PM
Please, Danny, stick to movies.
