Bill Hicks’ Censored Segment on David Letterman; Interview with Bill’s Mom

The following is the buildup and the actual censored segment of Bill Hicks from the ‘Late Show with David Letterman’...


One thing I would like to point out. In the first video where David Letterman is introducing Bill’s mom and talking about why she is here, he states that it was his decision to remove Bill’s routine from the show 16 years ago...

It appears that Letterman doesn’t remember why he removed Bill’s segment from the show, so I thought it would be appropriate to remind him and anyone else that may be interested. According to Bill Hicks, the reason that his segment was censored from the show is because the “CBS Standards and Practices felt that some of the material was unsuitable for broadcast.”
