But neither one of these edgy rock superstars seem like the type of musicians daytime TV shows would have wanted to book back in the 1970s, especially considering Iggy’s junkie FTW attitude.
However, Dinah Shore wasn’t afraid to host Iggy’s first proper appearance on a TV show- she spoke with Iggy and a much more put together David Bowie on The Dinah! Show back in 1977:
April 15, 1977: Iggy Pop and David Bowie were guests on Dinah’s Place. Promoting Lust for Life, Iggy and David, along with Tony Sales on bass and Hunt Sales on drums, performed “Sister Midnight” and “Fun Time.” During the interview segment, Bowie was shown in tears from trying to stifle his laughter when Dinah Shore asked Iggy what it felt like to crawl around on broken glass.
