2024 has been a crazy year! As it  comes to a close, it’s only right that we revisit the interview that seemingly started all of the nonsense. Continue reading to check it out and to take a trip down memory lane with more unforgettable interviews from over the years.

A word that we commonly see used in our everyday lives is viral. The adjective (and sometimes noun) relates to or involves an image, video, advertisement, piece of information, etc., that is circulated rapidly and widely from one internet user to another.

In case you’ve been sleeping under a rock and aren’t hip, the legendary Katt Williams went viral earlier this year. On Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast, the now 53 year-old comedian got a lot off of his chest. In the two hour forty-six minute conversation, Williams spoke on a myriad of topics ranging from other comedians stealing jokes to his upbringing to even more recent cultural happenings like the Tory Lanez and Megan thee Stallion shooting. As the world began to dissect every second of it, the interview became an instant classic. The video has racked up a whopping 86 million views and counting. It’s a staggering feat, especially considering that those kind of numbers are usually reserved for music videos.

The success of the interview got us to thinking. Although there have been very few celebrity interviews that have gotten the amount of views and attention that the Katt Williams and Shannon Sharpe one has, there are some that have similarly had the culture in a chokehold. Maybe the guest was such a polarizing figure that people couldn’t help but to watch? Maybe viewers caught an outrageous clip from the interview that made it a must to tune in? Maybe consumers just wanted to be in the loop so they reluctantly checked it out? Whatever the reason, we thoroughly enjoy these interactions. We put together a gallery of some of the most hilarious, most memorable and most viral celebrity interviews! Let us know your favorite(s) in the comments and if you feel like we forgot any.
