George Michael Explains His Outdoor Nookie Arrest | Letterman 

You know nothing and once you are dead there is no resting. Worm food or cremated.

He made a record out of it, "Outside", which went to Number 1 or 2 along with a video to it which was one big laugh at the police officer. George coped with it in the way he usually does with everything else - make some music.

This epsode was history. He didn't recovered from some importante losses he had in life. His mother, his love of his life...

A Different Corner. That's one of my favorite of his songs. White Light, too.

It helps that George took the situation with a grain of salt.

Seeing as that was the only topic, it seemed more like Dave giving an opportunity for George to tell his side of this specific incident when he likely couldn't trust typical entertainment media feeding frenzy. It was a huge story in sensationalized media.

The show was in 480i until switching to HD in 2005, so even upscaled to 1080, you’re still only seeing this segment in 480i.

Have a bit hard to believe that and when it comes to technical factors, I doubt that the actual recordings on Letterman, and/or other shows even in the 90's like Friends/Seinfeld etc., are inferior to 480i. You have quality that looks better than this on RU-vid even with videos from the 80's that are uploaded in HD in proportion with this foggy picture.

@@Lexarus2 That’s because “Friends,” “Seinfeld,” “Cheers” and numerous older shows that have been upgraded to HD were shot on 35mm film. In the medium of television for about five decades, that was the exception and not the rule. Most TV series were shot on videotape, and videotape is low resolution. You’re not going to get true HD out of it. Film, on the other hand, is a very high-resolution medium. This is why just about every surviving movie going back to the advent of cinema is now available in HD, and it’s also why “Seinfeld,” “Friend,” and a heap of drama series from the ‘50s through the ‘90s are now available in HD, as well. But most TV shows from the ‘50s through the ‘00s were shot on videotape, because it was much cheaper than film, it was easier to light, and it was reusable. Talk shows (including Letterman’s NBC and CBS shows), game shows, and most sitcoms from that era were shot on tape. You’re just not going to be able to remaster it to HD. Also, Letterman recorded his show at about 5:30 p.m. for air at 11:35. You can’t shoot a “live” show on film and have it ready for air in five hours. But tape is instant.

@@Lexarus2 “Seinfeld” and “Friends” were shot on 35mm film, which is a high-resolution format, and that’s why they’ve been remastered in 4K. But most TV from the mid-‘50s through the early ‘00s was shot on videotape. Videotape was widely used in the pre-HD days because it was much cheaper than film. It was also easier to light, and it was reusable (which is why a lot of TV as recently as the mid-‘80s is lost forever; ask Johnny Carson’s estate and the crew of the original “Jeopardy!” about that). Videotape is also a low-resolution format, so for every sitcom that can be remastered in HD, there’s ten other sitcoms from the era that are stuck forever in 480i purgatory. Letterman shot his show every weeknight from 5:30-6:30 p.m. for a same-night airing at 11:35. In the pre-HD days, videotape was the perfect medium for talk shows because, amongst other reasons, it didn’t need to be developed in a darkroom. It was ready for air immediately. Simply put, when you see a decades-old TV show or music video in stunning and true HD/4K, it was shot on film. But count your lucky stars, because film was the exception to the rule in those days.

Good info. :) And I am actually very much aware of what you have said, but considering that Letterman was so popular, one would assume that they had better raw material for a certain quality. Especially when American industries are concerned with qualities in show business.

Good Lord he died in 2016

😂

Har har

Poor you. Get over it, the rest of the Western World has.

Ну как сказать ,что был геем, у него и девушки были и жил с некоторыми в молодости !(со студенткой ,с китаянкой и были модели у него двое ) Лучше сказать что он был гомосексуалистом ,Кенни был у него за место жены !Не думаю что он мог допустить себя ,чтоб им пользовались мужчины !Это он мог пользоваться ими !
