Abel Ferrara is the Worst Talk Show Guest

Guests on talk shows, especially late-night shows, can be pretty unpredictable. While some might show up acting a script, confusing both the audience and the host, some might just show up drunk. Abel Ferrara perhaps wasn’t the soberest guest on a late-night show. He allegedly showed up to the studio intoxicated, refused to perform, and attempted to leave.

Even before the beginning of the interview, the director is slurring his words, prompting Conan to recommend that the conversation be aired with subtitles. In a later podcast interview with Dax Shepherd in late 2018, Conan O’Brien said that Ferrara was the worst guest he had ever had on his show.
