Clooney: Night with DeVito was brutal

NEW YORK (AP) — Blame it on the shots of limoncello. George Clooney says he woke up tipsy after a “brutal night” out on the town with his pal Danny DeVito.

“Well the funniest thing was, ah, you know, we were just at a restaurant,” Clooney says in an interview to air Monday on NBC’s “Today” show.

“It wasn’t like we were out drinking. We were at a restaurant, sitting down, drinking. I was in bed by 11:30 at night and I woke up at, you know, 7 (a.m.) and I was still drunk (laughs). … It was a brutal night.”

Clooney, 45, tells “Today” co-host Matt Lauer that he and DeVito “were doing shots of limoncello and that’s all I can really say on the subject.”

He also tells Lauer it is “all I can remember.”

DeVito made a loopy appearance Wednesday on ABC’s “The View,” saying he’d had a late night out with Clooney.

“I knew it was the last seven limoncellos that was going to get me,” said the 62-year-old actor, apparently fond of the lemon liqueur.

When Lauer asks Clooney how much was consumed, he replies: “A lot. … I got to the point where I was dumping the shots into, ah, you know, a plant next to me and, um, I don’t think … I don’t think Danny saw me do that.”

DeVito — who was promoting his new comedy, “Deck the Halls” — slurred his speech and used some bad language when joking about President Bush, among other gaffes, during his appearance on “The View.”
