When watching an interview with a celebrity, you never quite know how it’s going to go. Some are heartwarming and emotional — while others are filled with drama and anger. These interview moments are just plain awkward, though. From forgetting vital information about a famous guest to just being plain rude, check out the cringest moments that happened during talk shows and interviews.

Scarlett Johansson — Jerry Penacoli

During The Avengers promotional tour, it seems that many entertainment reporters had a very specific question in mind for Black Widow actress Scarlett Johansson. Jerry Penacoli, an Extra reporter, actually asked Scarlett whether or not she wore anything under her superhero suit in the film.

She was obviously annoyed by this line of questioning, saying that he was "like the fifth person that's asked me that today." She then added, "What is going on? Since when do people start asking each other in interviews about their underwear?"

Lindsey Lohan — David Letterman

Lindsey Lohan has definitely had a complicated career - which is why she asked the production team of The Late Show to steer clear of certain sensitive topics during an interview on the show in 2013. Sadly, David Letterman didn't respect her wishes.

He continuously brought up the facility she wanted to get help from, asking if she stole things and how she managed her money. Despite her repeated requests to move on from the topic, he wouldn't let it go, finally bringing the young star to tears.

Dakota Johnson — Jimmy Fallon

We've gotten used to seeing celebrities take all manner of disrespect and probing from talk show hosts with a smile and a joke. So, seeing Dakota Johnson actually snap at Jimmy Fallon was certainly strange.

While it might have been awkward to watch, and probably to live through, we definitely support Dakota for calling Jimmy out on his constant interruptions of her story. We know that talking is literally in their job title, but shouldn't that also involve their guests talking?

Madonna — David Letterman

This interview has become pretty infamous since it aired in 1994. It seems that Letterman tried to get Madonna to act in her usual flashy manner. Unfortunately for him, she was having none of that.

Despite his many attempts to get her to kiss a random audience member (for no reason), Madonna shut it down before asking him, "Why are you so obsessed with my [love] life?" She definitely called him out on his attempt to stir up unnecessary drama.
