Lohan tears up talking rehab with LettermanThe idea of Lindsay Lohan appearing on "Letterman," with not much to promote but her recent plea deal, initially caused some to think it was another April Fool's joke. (She did try to pull a pregnancy prank, after all.) But no, the Lohan appearance was really on the schedule, and the 26-year-old actress showed up as planned - even early! This being David Letterman, he didn't waste any time fooling with nonsense questions. Overheard: Letterman says Leno is funny, insecure“Late Show” host David Letterman is opening up to Oprah Winfrey about depression, being the victim of a 2009 extortion attempt, and his highly publicized feud with Jay Leno. During the interview with Winfrey, who he has also quarreled with in the past, Letterman calls Leno an “unusual fellow.”
The full interview is set to air on “Oprah’s Next Chapter” on Sunday, January 6 at 9 p.m. ET. Did Letterman spoil the ending to 'Dark Knight Rises'?Thursday's edition of "Late Show with David Letterman," which had "The Dark Knight Rises" actress Anne Hathaway on as a guest, might've needed a spoiler alert. Hathaway, sporting her cropped hair for "Les Miserables," was chatting with Letterman about Christopher Nolan's anticipated Batman film when the late night host made a comment that did not please fans. How did Letterman celebrate 30 years in late night?With three decades on late night under his belt, David Letterman opted to celebrate the occasion by bringing on an old friend: Howard Stern. The New York Times noted ahead of Wednesday's show that the host was going to keep it casual. After a few jokes in his opening monologue - what keeps him going night after night is "Lipitor and vodka," it turns out - his staff took the opportunity to roast the veteran host during the Top 10. (Among the top things his staff wanted to say to Letterman on his 30th anniversary included, "You're incompetent," and, "I stopped watching in 1992.") Colbert pays Letterman a visitIn the recent tradition of Craig Ferguson showing up on "Conan," Stephen Colbert singing "Friday" on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" and Ferguson trading gifts with the "Late Night" host, Wednesday night's "Letterman" had another appearance that could indicate a softening of the late night wars. When Colbert started discussing the recent severe weather in the South (asking his viewers to donate to the Red Cross, of course), he soon found himself in need of a bathroom. Unfortunately, the shared Viacom (the company which owns CBS and Comedy Central) bathroom key is in Letterman's Ed Sullivan Theater. So naturally, he interrupted Letterman's show looking for it. This took place on both shows, though only "Colbert Report" viewers saw that outgoing CBS anchor Katie Couric had occupied the john. What do you think of this recent spate of late night hosts showing up on each others' shows? Do you think they're showing that they can get along after the Leno-O'Brien mess? Share your view below. David Letterman 'apologizes' to Lindsay LohanFor once the joke was on David Letterman — the talk-show host has admitted he was "duped" into thinking that Lindsay Lohan had agreed to appear on the "Late Show." As Marquee previously reported, Lohan recently denied the "Late Show's" claims that she was set to deliver the Top Ten list tonight, tweeting, "I'm not sure how this happened, but I am sorry for the confusion." Now Letterman is clearing the air on how it all went down. |
