Across the Yawning Chasm: Sleepy Bush Supporter Perks Up on 'Letterman'
"I have to tell you, I know of that show, but I've never seen the show," she said.
"You've had other things on your plate," Daytime Seacrest responded, consolingly.
"Yes."
"You know, I've watched what's happened the last couple of months," Seacrest continued, "really followed you this week and heard you respond to certain questions . . . heard you say that you want to end all of this and want it behind you, and I want you to know officially on this program today, we're turning the page on all of that."
Good thing Nighttime Seacrest had been safely packed back into his casket and was not around when Daytime Seacrest asked her what her biggest insecurity is, because he would have had a field day when the Super Bowl flasher responded: "To be completely, completely honest with you, believe it or not, I'm very insecure about my body."
"Oh, no!" the audience gasped.
Daytime Seacrest ignored that perfect setup and said, "Well, I saw the six-pack earlier [when Jackson was performing]. What are you insecure about?"
Turns out, Janet had been teased a lot when she was a child, her siblings called her "Donkey," and it's stuck with her all these years.
Seacrest then surprised Jackson by bringing onstage a woman who was a close friend of Jackson in elementary school. Which, the long-lost friend informed the superfans and viewers at home, was 30 years ago. Oops -- maybe Nighttime Seacrest was around after all.
