Johnny: "Did you enjoy this at ALL tonight?"
One of the most painful interviews I've ever seen, and it only shows how amazing Johnny was that we apparently got so few of these, because he was clearly talking to someone who had no desire to be there. It was pretty much watching two people on a date with zero chemistry.
It wasn't very good, kind of like pulling teeth.
The whole thing unravels when Carson asks, "did you enjoy tonight?" and states he's finding it difficult to tell if she's enjoying being on or finding it tough to a clearly frightened Sarah Miles.
"Enigma? I don't know what that is either."
I'm not sure if she really had to leave to do a stage performance that night or if that was Carson's way to help get her off-stage.
No, not the mind probe!
I totally sympathize with her. If I was an actor on a talk show I'd rather discuss the role I was playing rather than discuss my private life. Notice how totally covered up she was. No hint of her figure under that full dress.
shareBrilliant conversationalist:
Did you always want to be an actress?
No
What did you want to be?
I don't know.
What did you do in the Chinese Restaurant?
Served food.
Are you going to move to California permenately?
I don't know.
What do they call a band in England?
A band
Not every interview can be hit out of the ball park.
Unfortunatly for this one or for her, it is seen on TV in front of millions as opposed to being in a private room with a journalist.
Some actors are very shy when they're not "performing" and become actors because they can be somebody else rather than their uninteresting selves.
Very uncomfortable to watch this interview, but the "enigma" exchange reminded me of when I was in high school and reading a book called Enigma. My friend, who was a notoriously bad speller, looked at me strangely and asked, "Why
are you reading a book about THAT?!" "What?" I asked. "It's about a secret code--'enigma.'"
"Ohhh..." she replied, "I thought you were reading about enemas."
I'm not crying, you fool, I'm laughing!
Hewwo.
Have you heard about the new movie that was written, produced and directed by a proctologist?
It's called Enema Mine.

I'd never heard of Sarah Miles before. I'll have to look her up as well as the pee drinking claim.
I've heard the same thing for the singer Meatloaf. To cure his vocal chords.

Only thing I've seen her in was Blow Up but I had no idea who she was. And I'm not sure which character she played.
shareShe said she was scared and nervous, but she also looked and acted like she was stoned.
Johnny : Someone said you were moving to Cali...
Sarah (talking over Johnny) : You've got the whip, I'll make the trip.
Johnny : Okay! ... Someone said you were moving to California.
Sarah : Everyone's laughing at me and I'm trying to be serious, which is sad.
Johnny : Who's laughing?
Sarah : The band.
Johnny : The band is strange people.
Sarah : Are they called bands over here?
Johnny: Yes, what do they call them in England?
Sarah : Bands.
Johnny : Kind of a common bond, I guess.
From looking her up here on IMDb it looks like this was her last appearance on TTSSJC.
Even though Johnny asked her back to do a goofy skit, (Which was also awkward) I wonder if it was up to her or him that she was never on again.
I just watched this episode last night. One of the weirdest interviews Johnny has ever had. I think she was at least partially stoned. I had never heard of her before seeing this. I can understand why she came of as being so weird after reading her bio on Wiki. She claims to drink her own urine frequently. Even if this is just remotely true then she is off the scales weird.
