Sandra Bernhard Burned Her Bridge with The Late Show with David Letterman
Sandra Bernhard has earned a reputation for her bold and no-nonsense demeanor, which has undoubtedly had both positive and negative impacts on her career. In the ’80s and ’90s, she was at the top of her game in the comedy world. David Letterman was a huge fan, and she was a frequent guest on his show. Upon Letterman’s transition to CBS, Sandra Bernhard found herself suddenly unwelcome on the show, becoming a persona non grata.
