Poor Marcia Clark but this is the best thing that's ever happened to her?
>> [LAUGH] >> I mean she is getting
a lot of attention now.
>> She is getting a lot of attention now and I think the greatest part about it is
that it's attention that was probably due her at the time.
>> Yeah. >> But people were really
believing what was being fed to them, that she was a kind of shrew, ambitious ***.
Can you say ***?
>> You can. You did it.
>> I did it twice.
>> You did it. >> [LAUGH]
>> You said *** and
then said can I say *** so that's, yeah.
If we couldn't say it, you couldn't say it the second time and
now you've made me say *** and now it's four times.
>> All of the words that you would use to describe Marcia,
if you described a man that way,
would be positives and if you describe a woman that way, it's a pejorative.
>> She got so much and then she was in the tabloids for no reason.
>> Yeah, her husband, the pictures of her naked.
Can you imagine a person trying to put someone away for what
they believe was a double homicide and you're having to deal with naked pictures.
>> Yeah, and you met her?
>> I did meet her.
I drank a lot of tequila with her.
>> [LAUGH] >> Yeah?
>> I did.
>> That must have been fun.
>> It was really fun.
It was like the mole kept moving all over her face in my mind.
>> [LAUGH] >> It was like, is that you?
Now it's on your forehead.
>> [LAUGH] >> Wow, it was a lot of tequila.
>> It was a lot of tequila, yeah.
>> A whole lot.
What was it like when you met her?
>> I made a lot of weird sort of squealy pig noises because I was so excited and
I spent so much time with my nose in a book about her actual book,
the book that when I saw her, it was like seeing someone I'd idolized or
had a terrible crush on from my whole life or something.
She walked into the restaurant and I just started, [SOUND] and
she looked around like this was a very terrifying experience for her.
>> What does she think, is she watching?
>> She is watching.
>> Mm-hm.
>> I think it was a very difficult prospect, that the actual doing of it,
I think was less horrible than she thought it was going to be.
It was a very painful thing.
It's probably the most painful thing that she ever lived through certainly
and- >> Yeah.
I'm sure.
>> Yeah. >> And we get to see another side of her
cuz when we were watching back then, you just saw her in the courtroom,
and whatever anybody else was saying, and now you get to see what she was trying.
>> She had two small children.
She had a three year old and a five year old,
was going through a very messy divorce, all while trying to do this and
having to be somewhere in the morning and working at night.
It was really harrowing, I think.
>> Yeah, I would love to have her on the show and
meet her because I think that she was amazing.
>> Sure. >> Now you have all these new found fans
from this show.
Cher texted you.
>> She didn't text me.
If she had texted me, I would have fainted.
>> What did she do?
>> She tweeted a happy birthday like a sort of emoji.
Cher does a sort of emoji tweeting.
So like a chicken, and a present, and a cake.
I was really happy about it.
[LAUGH] >> Have you met her?
>> I met her at a party, and by meeting her,
I mean I used by nose to part her hair from behind just to smell it.
>> [LAUGH] >> I did.
Does she know that?
>> She does now.
>> Yeah. >> [LAUGH]
>> She's got a lot of hair.
>> A lot of hair, I had to burrow- >> [LAUGH]
>> I had to use a lot of this.
>> [LAUGH] >> I didn't want to use
my hands- >> No.
>> For fear that it was- >> Much better-
>> Let her know that something
was going on back there.
>> [LAUGH] >> I just figured it was better to
use your nose.
>> Much better to use your nose to part someone's hair, wow.
>> [LAUGH] Where do you go with that?
>> I don't even know.
Nowhere.
