In a recent appearance on the popular talk show hosted by David Letterman, the incredibly funny Jim Carrey made quite the entrance. Carrey, who is starring in a new film called “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” walked onto the stage to thunderous applause from the audience. And it wasn’t just his charismatic personality that had everyone talking – Carrey had shaved his head for a fresh new look.
During the interview, Carrey jokingly mentioned that he was single and white, tying in his new appearance with the famous “single white male” stereotype. He explained that as a comedian, he needs to constantly change his look and keep things fresh. He compared himself to Madonna, always reinventing himself to stay interesting and relevant in the show business.
Letterman, always quick with his wit, commented that Carrey’s bald look made him resemble Lance Armstrong. Carrey immediately went into a bit, pretending to ride a bike and humorously referencing drafting. The audience erupted with laughter, thoroughly entertained by Carrey’s antics.
Carrey then shared his love for New York, as he had been in town for several months shooting his latest film. He described how he immersed himself in the city, playing tennis at night on Roosevelt Island and eating street food. Carrey even joked about the steam from the manholes providing a nice facial cleanse.
But it wasn’t all jokes and laughter during the interview. Carrey also took a moment to discuss his new film, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.” He explained that the movie delves into the themes of love and loss, as his character’s girlfriend erases their memories. Carrey praised his co-star, Kate Winslet, for her brilliant performance, and talked about the innovative techniques used in the film, including special effects done in-camera.
As the interview continued, Carrey suggested doing something different on a talk show – not talking at all. He proposed sitting in silence and not exchanging any words or sounds, creating a unique and groundbreaking television experience. Letterman, always up for a challenge, agreed to the experiment, and they sat in silence for a brief moment, much to the amusement of the audience.
After a brief commercial break, Carrey and Letterman continued their lively conversation, discussing embarrassing moments in life. Carrey shared a hilarious story about accidentally getting into someone else’s truck, mistaking it for his own. The audience roared with laughter as Carrey recounted the awkward situation and his realization of his mistake.
To conclude the interview, Carrey showed a clip from “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.” The clip showcased a memory being erased in the film, depicting the emotional journey of Carrey’s character. Carrey, always the comedian, joked that the movie takes place inside his head, and his bald head was the perfect aspect ratio for the film.
In the end, Carrey’s appearance on David Letterman‘s talk show provided endless entertainment. From his shaved head to his comedic storytelling, Carrey never failed to keep the audience laughing.
