Howard said the media had picked up the Brad Pitt hash story Quentin Tarantino told on yesterday’s show. Howard was surprised, as Pitt’s pot-use has been widely reported for years – he even commented about it himself on Bill Maher’s show.
Howard then played a clip of the Pitt-Maher interview in which Maher recalled watching Pitt roll a series of perfect joints at a New Year’s Eve Party and Pitt replied: “I’m an artist.” Later in the interview, Pitt claimed he no longer smoked now that he’s a father, a statement incongruous with Quentin’s story.
