The celebrity expressed disbelief at Heidi’s comment, saying, “I can’t believe Heidi Klum is saying this to me.”

The Photo Revelation

Heidi then revealed she had found a photo from the time they hosted the Late Show for David Letterman.

Heidi: “Okay, you guys be the judge now. What do you think?”
Audience Reaction: [Laughter]

The Embarrassment

The celebrity immediately apologized, saying, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I apologize.” They continued, “But someone has to tell you. My collars were hanging out, and no one told me. Like, who does that?”

Celebrity: “I didn’t do it on purpose. It happened. I was nervous.”

Heidi chimed in, suggesting that the photo should only be shown on Halloween if dressed as Dracula.

Heidi: “Put it away! Put it away, put it away, put it away, sorry.”

The Nerves of Hosting

The celebrity reflected on their nerves during the hosting gig, explaining how they wanted everything to go perfectly.

They shared how they had hired a stylist, not fully understanding what that entailed at the time.

Celebrity: “They got me some weird collared shirt that just kept popping out.”

The Collar Catastrophe

As they performed, they noticed their collar sticking out, which became a distraction.

Celebrity: “I remember seeing a glimpse of a monitor, and I was like, ‘Oh, my.’ I did like a Letterman thing, and then I saw my collar was flying out, and I couldn’t stick it in.”

The celebrity humorously described the oversized collar as “10-inch collars,” expressing their frustration.

Celebrity: “It was rough. I was like, ‘Oh, my God.’”

The Letter from NBC

Reflecting on the experience, the celebrity mentioned receiving a letter from NBC requesting them not to host the show due to network conflicts.

Celebrity: “I remember even I got a letter from NBC going, ‘We’re going to ask you, please don’t do this.’”

Despite the warning, they felt compelled to honor their commitment to Letterman.

Celebrity: “I have to do it. It’s Dave.”

The Encounter with Heidi Klum

The story concluded with the celebrity recounting a dinner outing with a friend when they unexpectedly ran into Heidi Klum.
