Throughout his historic tenure on The Late Show, David Letterman managed to enjoy his fair share of memorable guests, from comedy legends like Steve Martin and Robin Williams to acting icons like Bill Murray and Tom Hanks.
As many renowned guests as Letterman invited on the show, one notable exception was the controversial director Harmony Korine, who Letterman apparently ejected from The Late Show for a reported incident with Meryl Streep in the late ’90s.
According to The Guardian, Letterman allegedly happened across Korine searching through Streep’s purse, leading the TV host to kick the director out from The Late Show‘s studio and enforce a strict ban that prevented him from ever returning.
“I went upstairs to greet Meryl Streep and welcome her to the show, and I knock on the door … and she was not in there,” Letterman remembered. “And I looked around, and she was not in there, and I found Harmony going through her purse. True story. And so I said: ‘That’s it, put her things back in her bag and then get out.'”
Though a tense encounter, Letterman eventually relented on his stance, offering to have the director back on the show after he completed rehab.
In 2008, Korine opened up about this turbulent period in his life, calling it a “crazy time” that was filled with plenty of low moments, such as his ejection from The Late Show. Korine went so far as to say that, by that point in his life, his health had spiraled so far out of control, he felt sure he only had a few years left to live.
“I felt pretty debased and lost,” Korine revealed. “I became like a tramp. I wasn’t delusional. I didn’t think I was going to be OK. I thought: ‘This might be the end.’ I’d read enough books. I knew where this story ended. The story finishes itself.”
