I loved seeing Bonnie Hunt on Letterman. He knew right away she was something special so he backed her projects. She would make him laugh more than anyone.
Love how Regis got quieter right when Bonnie placed her hand on his back and then asked about the velour jacket. She is a master at handling men as they try to make more of innuendos such as Regis was doing when pressing her on Letterman's and her interactions. Go Bonnie!❤
Bonnie would have been PERFECT for this position. She would've been like Rosie O'Donnell but without the later political overtones. Bonnie was probably at the height of her career back in 2001 when Kathie Lee left so I doubt she would have ever chosen it over being a writer/actress
Unlike today where men and women both are so oversexualized before they get out of middle school, they no longer appreciate or care about the Natural wholesome sexual dynamic between men and women so they very predictably call it sexist!
