David Letterman put Paris Hilton on the hot seat Friday by peppering her with a series of questions about her stint in jail earlier this year.

Letterman, 60, greeted Hilton – who was sporting a form-fitting black halter dress – with a warm hug, telling her she looked "better than ever" as she took a seat.

After welcoming her back to New York City ("I love New York – I was born here," Hilton said), Letterman abruptly asked: "Uh, how'd you like being in jail?" Audience members gasped and laughed as Hilton, 26, paused for a few seconds before saying, "Not too much."

(See a video of the appearance here.)

Letterman then observed, "You know what, they locked up your friend Nicole," referring to Nicole Richie's brief time in jail for a DUI.

About Hilton's own experience behind bars, Letterman asked: "Tell us now looking back on that experience, what have we learned? What can you tell us?" Hilton shifted in her seat before answering, "Well, obviously it was a very traumatic experience, but I did it, so I feel like I can do anything now."

After grilling her about the food – dinner, Hilton said, was normally "jail mystery meat" – Letterman kept going: "So what was it you did? Do you know what you did?" Obviously uncomfortable, Hilton stared at Letterman and laughed nervously. "It was something about driving with an invalid license, wasn't it?" Letterman said. "Yeah," Hilton answered.

After facing a continued barrage of jail-related questions, Hilton, who was on the show to promote her new fragrance Can-Can and her upcoming movie, Repo! The Genetic Opera, said, "I don't really want to talk about it anymore." But Letterman would not be swayed. "This is where you and I are different. Because this is all I want to talk about," he said.

As Letterman continued to press, Hilton held up her hand: "I'm going on the next question. I'm over it."

At one point a crowd member yelled, "I love you Paris!" which she answered by saying, "I love you too," and blowing a kiss. Quipped Letterman, "Somebody you met in prison?" Hilton, blushing, shook her head no.

"There's other stuff to talk about Dave," Hilton said. "I didn't come here to talk about this. That was a long time ago."

Finally, after more than six minutes of grilling, Hilton said Letterman was making her "sad that I came here." Trying to make amends, Letterman offered: "I'll buy you a parakeet."

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

He's still a tosser.

Baggin' on Hilton is like baggin' on Michael Jackson - too easy. Maybe she deserves it, but...

They both played their roles, Paris was there to promote herself, David was there make fun of Paris. What else is there to talk about? Letterman isn't above having her on the show, but he doesn't have to look like he's enjoying having her on the show.

exactly

you do know it's just TV right?

I'm a Conan fan...

What? Is this what she fucking looks like? There's so much media about her looks and this is it?




...

i actually find her good looking, I don't think she's "hot", but I typically don't like blondes, yet there's something about her.. she looks so.. I mean, she looks kinda evil, which I dig. I dunno.

The fact that there's media about her in general, not just her looks, proves that society is indeed a fucking hole.

You need help.

eh? why do I need help? I'm not the one wrapped in a mic..
ps:

Cuz shes a minger atsonicpark.

did I ever tell you that this here jacket represents a symbol of my individuality and my belief of personal freedom?

Dont you try and obscure me into confusion, she looks like a medieval sheild thats survived several battles.

:)

but she can suck a dick! like an alien!

You have trumped me sir.
*removes hat*

aRE YOU GUYS TALKING About Letterman?

Letterman, eh? Such an acquired taste. Which is to say I've never met a non-[north-]American that got it. Same with Seinfeld.

I don't know whether I fully 'get' Seinfeld or Letterman, but I do know that I like them, a lot. Coming from London, it's entirely possible that the only thing I really get in full is Chas n Dave and Minder repeats. Oh well.

In a world of so much mindless tyalk show "interviews" (and I definitely throw in conan o brian and jay leno into this) I love that Dave Letterman will still use his show to ask actual questions and actual real life stuff, the very stuff that celebrities do not want to talk about. My favorite was when he asked her "you DO know what you were in for right?" like she is a dumbass, and the stupid dumbass just looks at him because SHE DOES NOT EVEN KNOW and then he sdays "because of driving with a suspended license right?" and the stupid bitch sez "yeah."

ain;t no softball questions!

the best Letterman of all was when Crispin Glover tried to karate kick him.

god that was some funny shit. it's been awhile since I've watched Dave, but I still like him.

crispin glover spent the better part of a decade trying to tell people he was NOT on LSD when that happened.

I remember seeing it live. it made me laugh!

me too! and to this day, it stands in the TOP 5 moments in television for me.

I think that I was 15 or 16 when it happened, and it blew my mind.

I know KUNG FU!!

I still say that shit.

I know kung fu! I am strong!!!!

it's pure fucking comic genius when something said 20 years ago can still make me laugh just as hard as it did the first time.

unfortunately, the picture that I posted above doesn't include his flying shoe. holymotheroffuck that's good shit.

No dear, I must disagree. That's like saying, "If all that's left to eat is fetid dogshit, I'm going to eat Queens-grade Corgi dogshit." You're still eating dogshit. It might be slightly less unpleasant, you might be less likely to get mixamytosis, you might even survive without an epic tapeworm, but you are still, at the end of the day, eating dogshit.

And winning a battle of wits against Paris Hilton isn't really much of an achievement, is it?

It's a bit like chewing through a particularly soft bit of dogshit.

KILL ALL METAPHORS WITH OVERUSE 2007!!!!!!!!!!!!

did letterman ever have it in the first place to lose though?

who said it was a battle of wits?
It was an interview, nothing more nothing less, but trademark letterman, not schilling his guest's latest "product" which he hates to do, and instead trying to see if she is truly dumb or just pretending.

Letterman is GOD.

you had to live through it to understand.

every single guy out there now, jimmy kimmelm, conan o brian, craig kilborn, etc., are all aping leterman and how he ran his show.

Interview? Dogshitview more like. Trademark? Dogshitmark more like. Schilling? Dog-archaic Dutch currency-shit more like. Truly dumb or just pretending? Truly dog of shit shitending more like.

I lived through some dogshit once. It was shit.

to each their own

beauty lies in the eye

Dogshit lies in your eye, apparently.

why cant i rep you all the time glice?

It's a travesty, for sure Mr Boy.
