10 Celebrities Who Appeared On TV Totally Wasted

2. James Brown

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=9tfNhL_R_rI James Brown may be no longer with us, but The Godfather of Soul lives on through his fantastically toe-tapping music, and some hilariously incredulous TV appearances such as this, where he is blatantly either drunk, high, or both. Brown appears on the show apparently to address a recent incident where he reportedly shot at his wife, but spends the majority of the interview instead answering the presenter in lyrics from his songs and refusing to talk about the incident. Brown grins and laughs his way through the whole thing, declaring not to be out on bond, but to be "out on love", while the bemused presenter continues to persist with her straight-faced line of questioning. It really feels like Brown just playing the troll, and if you listen closely, various crew members can be heard laughing uproariously off-screen. We can imagine that this guy would have been an absolute riot at parties.
