Incredible throwback clip shows Kim Kardashian's first EVER talk show appearance where she admits to selling clothes on eBay for money
The businesswoman and influencer, 44, made her first ever late-night television appearance was on the Late Show with David Letterman in August 2008.
During the interview, she discussed selling her clothes on eBay for money and her then-recent foray into reality television.
The interview came just a few months after her family show Keeping Up With The Kardashians first aired in 2007, catapulting her and her sisters into stardom.
Wearing a stylish red dress she put on a confident display in the clip as she walked onto the Letterman show as the host asked her: 'What do you do for a living? You have a store?'
She replied: 'I have a clothing store yes and I was a wardrobe stylist and I have a closet organizing business where I would go into closets and completely reorganise it.

'We would take everything out we didn't want and sell it on eBay. I love eBay and I do it all the time. And that's what I did.'
17 years on from that clip Kim has gone on to forge an incredibly successful career and now has a net worth of $1.7 billion as of May 2025.
And there were more throwbacks last week as Kim took a trip down memory lane as she shared a never-before-seen photo with her late father Robert Kardashian on Sunday.
The reality TV star took to Instagram with the nostalgic image, which featured her as a little girl standing next to the attorney - who died at the age of 59 from esophageal cancer - and her mom Kris Jenner, 69.
The image saw Kris with her arms around Robert, both of them smiling at the camera, along with their daughter.
'Dad, Mom and Me,' the SKIMS founder captioned the post.
Kris was married to Robert from 1978 until their divorce in 1991. Aside from Kim, they also welcomed daughters Kourtney, 46, and Khloe, 41, as well as son Rob, 38.
Kim - who recently tried to purchase a family heirloom connected to her father but was rejected - was 22 years old when her father passed away from in September 2003.
In 1998, seven years after his divorce from Kris was finalized, Robert married Jan Ashley; however, the marriage ended in annulment 30 days later.

After dating for three years, the Los Angeles native married his third wife, Ellen Pierson (née Markowitz), six weeks prior to his death.
Meanwhile Kris married Olympic decathlete Caitlyn Jenner (formerly Bruce), 75, in 1991, shortly after her divorce from Robert was finalized. They had two daughters together, Kendall, 29, and Kylie Jenner, 28.
Kim is currently studying to become a lawyer, like her father.
In May, she completed her law school program after a six year journey. She still needs to pass the Bar Exam to practice law in the state.
In 2020, Kim said she hoped that her father would be 'so proud' to see her pursuing a career in law and says whenever she gets 'frustrated' with studying, she thinks of him.
'He must've been going through some of the same things that I have gone through. It would have been exciting to talk to him about that, and I know that he would be so, so proud,' she said.
Kim has been working on prison reform in recent years, and hopes setting up her own law firm will help get former inmates into work.
In March, Kim's attempt to purchase a family heirloom connected to her late father was rejected by O.J. Simpson's estate.
The estate's executor, Malcom LaVergne, revealed that they, sadly, had to turn down her $15,000 offer on the Bible her dad gifted Simpson, who died on April 10, 2024, because it was 'too late to purchase it outside the auction.'

Tom Cruise, 63, shows off shirtless physique in behind-the-scenes footage of Mission Impossible
took to Instagram on Tuesday to share behind-the-scenes footage from his latest Mission Impossible film. The 63-year-old action star — whose movie Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning hit theaters in May — posted unreleased footage featuring him dressing in a wet suit to film scenes in a deep tank of water. 'I trained for over a year to be able to physically handle the amount of oxygen deprivation,' he said in the clip's voiceover. Director Christopher McQuarrie also appeared in the Instagram reel and said, 'I'm always surprised by what it is we're doing. That's the amazing thing about this franchise — it's all about constantly pushing the envelope as far as we can.' The esteemed actor, who is dating Ana de Armas, wrote in the caption: 'Thank you McQ and our entire cast and crew for this experience of a lifetime. 'I hope everyone enjoys all of the extras and that it gives some greater insight into what it takes to make a Mission: Impossible film.' The 63-year-old action star, whose movie Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning hit theaters in May, posted unreleased footage featuring him dressing in a wet suit to film scenes in a deep tank of water Other B-roll outtakes showed the longtime entertainer dangling from a plane and sitting behind the wheel of a car as it flips over in a tunnel. The snippet was to promote the movie's availability for digital purchase. The new digital release gives insight into the wear-and-tear on Tom's body throughout the filming process. According to Variety, the Hollywood heartthrob and director reveal in the newly shared content that the joints in Tom's fingers separated during the plane sequence. The outlet reported that it was caused by 'the sheer force the actor had to battle while dangling off the side of a biplane and holding onto the strap of a seat belt.' 'Oh, this almost broke my back. You're talking about a lot of pain here,' Tom is quoted saying. And he described holding on to the belt while hanging from the aircraft as 'brutal.' Christopher explained, 'This separated the joints in Tom's fingers from the force, so by the time we finished this sequence, your hands were absolutely swollen — oh my God, it was so painful to watch.' Earlier this year Tom's latest Mission: Impossible film was eclipsed at the box office by a children's movie. Disney's Lilo & Stitch remake sat at the top of the box office over Memorial Day weekend, while Cruise and his team in Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning earned less than half of what its competition did. The live-action hybrid film starring Hannah Waddingham — who also appeared in the newest Mission: Impossible film — Zach Galifianakis, Tia Carrere, and Maia Kealoha earned an estimated $145.5 million by Sunday. By contrast, Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning pulled in about $77.5 million domestically and $127 million internationally.

Can't ad lib? Pia Whitesell needs to recite her lines before VERY awkward breakfast show interview in Australia
Australian actress Pia Whitesell was spotted going over her lines for a six minute breakfast TV interview on Wednesday. The mother-of-two, 41, who lives in a $57 million LA home with her wealthy husband Patrick, had to recite lines for her brief appearance on The Morning Show. She shared a photo to Instagram which saw her going over her notes for the very brief Seven gig while getting her hair and makeup done. In the picture, Pia could be seen sitting in a chair as she studied two A4 pieces of paper filled with lines from her upcoming interview. 'Getting ready for @morningshowon7 live cross from LA talking all things life and @olayau,' she wrote, referencing her recent partnership with the skincare company. However, it would seem all the pre-written lines couldn't help Pia prepare for the questions hosts Larry Emdur and Kylie Gillies sent her way during the live cross. The interview kicked off to an awkward start when the anchors asked the brunette beauty about her recent luxury holiday to Greece with her Hollywood agent husband. 'First, you just returned from a holiday in Greece. It looked so glamorous. I be you it was,' Kylie, 58, said. Pia appeared embarrassed to be talking about the ritzy getaway, which saw her languishing in the sun on her multi-millionaire husband's superyacht. She stumbled over her answer as glamorous images of her holiday flashed onto the screen. 'It was amazing, I mean, oh god, Europe, just being in, yes, exactly, those photos do, I mean, gosh, I want to go back. I could live there,' she said with an awkward chuckle. Despite seeming reluctant to talk about the holiday, Pia wasn't shy about showing off the trip on her Instagram last week. The former Home and Away star flaunted her bikini body as she posed on a luxury yacht while sailing around the Greek islands earlier this month. She showed off her toned physique in a patterned two-piece and left her long brunette locks out as she smiled for the camera. In another photo, Pia relaxed on the lounge and threw her arm behind her head as she looked out into the distance. She also posed in a $2,945 Miu Miu cotton and suede bandana top in brown, paired with a matching $5,000 miniskirt from the Italian fashion house. 'Oh Greece. I love you,' she captioned the images. Pia has been enjoying a luxury lifestyle since marrying her multi-millionaire Hollywood husband, Patrick, 60, who is the executive chairman of Endeavor. Earlier this month, the actress gave fans a glimpse of her privileged life by showing off her astounding collection of designer goods inside her gigantic walk-in closet. Featured in the photo was Pia's impressive collection of shoes, which filled six built-in shelves in her closet. Measuring several metres wide, the unit boasted three shelves of high heels in a dazzling array of styles for all occasions. Also spied inside Pia's walk-in was the dark-haired beauty's mammoth collection of designer handbags. Stored in ten separate cubicles inside a dedicated vertical built-in unit occupying an entire corner of the closet, Pia's collection included multiple Chanel handbags. Keen-eyed fashion lovers could also spy an Hermès box and what looked like a Birkin.
